Cross Friction Massage

Cross friction massage is a connective tissue massage that breaks down scar tissue and remodels it into more flexible, pliable, and functional, healthy soft tissue (ligaments, tendons, muscles, fascia, and nerves) and prevents adherent scars from forming. It is a transverse massage that is applied to the site of injury. Before it can be performed successfully, the therapist must single out the tissue at fault and its exact location. The provider will then use one or two fingers to apply a deep massage to the area, perpendicular to the tissue’s fiber. This technique can be used to treat both acute injuries as well as chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
