The therapist straddles the patient’s left calf and massages the left gluteal fold with the overlapped thumbs performing a cutting motion of the femoral biceps tendon, from the inside to the outside. The thumb presses vertically the massaged area, the other fingers grabbing the thigh. There are at least 10 repetitions.

This description presents the manner in which the procedure is performed on the left side of the patient. Similarly, the same steps are followed on the right side. In the standard version, the procedure is first performed on the left side and then on the right side.
