This technique allows desinfiltrate the tissues. The therapist " pinches" the skin, separates it and makes it roll under the fingers in a succession of fast movements. Strokes of drainage follow.

The practice.

Nevertheless, the practise the petrissage hard-line only, it is rare! It is always associated with other techniques.
