Position
This technique can be done in many ways, as long as you press into the
indicated areas. Sit with legs extended, as our model is demonstrating, and
press on an angle into the outside of the leg with the Relax Mat®. Use a towel
roll and press in, or just press into the area against a wall. Men, because of
their hand and arm strength, can press in by cupping the tool.
If a firmer surface is
desired, simply place a firmer surface under the Relax Mat® to create the
correct surface for you.
Press
The lower rounder knob works best for many people. Start at the hip and work
right down the side of each leg to just above the ankle. Once again, use the 12/7
pressing principle.
Stretch
Do your favorite stretches, provided by your health care professional.
Aquatherapy
This technique can be used in warm water.
