Connective Tissue Massage (CTM)
This is not a massage but a form of stretching to release the fluids trapped within the connective tissue between the muscle fibers. Using CTM techniques any adhesion’s in the superficial connective tissue layers are broken up and relaxed through reflexes. This technique can be useful when a client has extremely tender and tight muscles: by releasing the superficial tension, the muscle can be softened therefore allowing further massage treatment to proceed.
