The patient and the therapist maintain their positions as above. The therapist massages the inner thigh on 3 lines in 10 points. There are two repetition on the median area. The first point of each line is placed right below the inguinal ligament. The last points of each line are placed right above the knee. The massaging technique is the vertical pressure of each point with overlapped thumbs, while the other fingers firmly grab the hip. After pressing the point with constant pressure, a pulling of the pressed tissue towards the knee is performed, within the limits of its elasticity. The intensity of the pressure should consider both necessity and the patient’s tolerability.
