ers I'm gonna give you some quick techniques for the knee so what you want to do first is
obviously warm up your hands you can do some friction all around the knee you never want
to push directly down on the knee that's a big no especially for people that have
had surgery so you want to do some warming up of the knee you can do some circles with your palms
with a thinner part of your hand or you can do fingers you know like
piggyback fingers you know small little circles all around the knee
this is also getting close to the knee without putting too much pressure
so you can do finger circles all the way around the knee
and then with your palms also and then cross friction you can do cross friction right above
the patella because you've got your quads tend to remember your quads tend to crosses and it
inserts right here on the on the tibia so you want to do some cross fiber friction
and then as specifically here on the quads tendon where it inserts right here
okay and after you've warmed up the knee a little bit you
can apply some some oil and of course you want to do maybe some petrissage
and when you're doing petrified you want to make sure and address the pests and psorinus or pests
and serenis depending on who is pronouncing it but right here you have an insertion on the inner part
right below the knee like right along here you have three muscle attachments semitendinosis the
gracilis and the Sartorius a lot of times this causes knee pain if the if the muscles are tight
it'll cause and you know some pulling medially so you want to make sure and address this right here
you want to separate the tibialis anterior you want to make sure you address it
you can go up the tibialis anterior and I like to do the piggyback fingers also
piggyback fingers with a thumb in the back for support or you know with a soft fist
remember that it that you want to make sure and relax the quads the hamstrings where people are
having pain in their knee you want to make sure and relax because this is the the most complex
joint in the body is the knee so you want to make sure and release all the other muscles first
now after you've warmed it up and you've done all those techniques
then you want to brace and hold the knee support the knee the patella on
this side and again you want to get real close here all along the patella
and you can also do some some small circles this is more specific you're getting more specific here
you might hear some crepetas which are little crackling sounds
so I'm moving in like half an inch out you know you start really close
and then you can start moving out like half an inch at a time and I can tell she's got
something going on right here so you might want to hang out there for a few seconds
and then you want to do the other side so you're going to support the patella right here and
then go to the other side and do the same thing quick techniques for somebody that has knee pain
and you can really help release all the tendon attachments the quads tendon the pests and
sarinus and you always want to make sure and finish with some relaxing Strokes so that's
just a quick little video to show you like how to release and how to relax all the tendons around
the knee the popliteal remember the popliteis is in the back of the knee the posterior part you
never want to put pressure there so you go right below it and just pull up you know pulling out
the gastrocnemius this also will release and the hamstrings like all I'm doing is her body weight
I'm letting her leg just use that as body weight and just pulling up and you can go all the way up
all right hope this helps and until the next time create a great day
all right
