Petrissage for the Back

To begin, this video reviews how effleurage integrates with petrissage techniques. Roxanne will demonstrate how to use petrissage techniques for the back and specifically the lower back. First technique will be a wringing technique done on the entire back with both hands. Followed by alternative thumb kneading on the lower back. Then finishing with reinforced finger kneadings along the spinal muscles. This is done on one side only and it is assumed you would then walk to the other side of the table and complete the same on the opposite side of the back.
