A member asked:
Could cyriax's friction massage be harmful if i massage a healthy tendon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Not sure why asking this question. I trained under a physican who trained with Dr. Cyriax. Friction massage is usually meant for tendinitis processes such as lateral epicondylitis or rtc tendinitis. However, I don't think that massaging healthy tissue would cause any damage. Not likely.
