Dear Joe,
I have no research to point to. I believe that Cyriax'z cross-fiber friction
massage breaks into the pain cycle by stimulating mechanoreceptors, and
decreases inflammation by locally stimulating release of some of the
inflammation-mediating chemicals. The body is then able to speed along its
natural process of inflammation, & achieve recovery from chronic
inflammation.
Can anyone else jump in here & confirm or refute my belief?
