inner thighs

[johnevanwinston]

I went for a massage, and I had a knot in one of my inner thighs. The massage therapist said that the knot would not release. He tried stretching my legs at all angles. What other technique could he have used?

Stretching for hypertonicity in the inner thigh is an excellent and appropriate technique. What do you feel the therapist should have done?

I would have gone with the stretches. TPT in the inner thigh just hurts too much.

Thai Massage can get those areas really well! Are there Thai Massage practitioners around you?

Worked with 2 clients today with hypertonicity in the inner thighs -- great quick releases using orthobionomy followed with simple stretches and cross-fiber massage............. no more tightness........

Hypertonicity just means tight muscles. TPT is trigger point therapy - a form of very direct deep tissue massage that can be more painful in some areas than others. Orthobionomy and Thai are other forms of massage. Cross fiber is going across the muscle rather than along the length of the muscle. We forget we are in the clients' section, somedays. Sorry.
