1. Sports/Deep Tissue Integration

2. Front of the Legs  Effleurage whole leg to spread lubricant.  Each effleurage should start at the foot. and go up to the ASIS.

3. Front of the Legs  Compressive effleurage to the thigh V-shaped hand Thumb of outside hand overlaps to medial side of rectus, inside thumb overlaps to lateral. Approaching groin, inside hand moves to line up behind lateral hand, which continues up across TFL.

4. Front of the Legs  BMT to TFL Heel/palm of outside hand compresses TFL as lower hand rotates the thigh in and out. Variation – stroke slowly down across fibers of TFL while rolling femur medially.

5. Front of the Legs  Wring thigh, superior to inferior.  Full thigh, superior to inferior.

6. Front of the Legs  Knead thigh in 3 passes, beginning at the top of the lateral thigh.

7. Front of the Legs  Warm rectus femoris w/cross-fiber superficial friction (use ulnar border of hands)

8. Front of the Legs  Apply circular friction, I to O, and melt any adhesions, spasms or trigger points found

9. Front of the Legs  Deeply effleurage rectus femoris with forearm, O to I

10. Front of the Legs  Effleurage thigh to close.  Full gently around the patella.

11. Front of the Legs  Effleurage lower leg.  Full down lower leg.  Apply thumb circles to tibialis anterior, long extensors of the toes, and peroneus longus.  Warm lateral side lower leg w/brisk longitudinal superficial friction  Apply thumb tip compressions down lower leg in two lines, covering tibialis anterior and peroneus longus.

12. Front of the Legs  Using “thumb-in-fist” tool, spread fibers of tibialis anterior, the long extensors of the toes, and peroneus longus

13. Front of the Legs  Facing down the table, apply deep effleurage to muscles of the anterolateral aspect, O to I, using forearm or fist

14. Front of the Legs  Effleurage the leg to close

15. Front of the Legs  Apply palmar effleurage to dorsum of ankle while holding foot.  NOTE - In full body massage, entirety of Supine Foot Routine belongs here.  With finger pad support on bottom of foot, full dorsum of foot.  With thumbs on top, squeeze foot.

16. Front of the Legs  Apply tapotment to IT band, quadriceps, lower leg, top of foot.  Effleurage whole leg to connect and close.  Apply nerve strokes down the leg to finish.  Repeat on other leg.
