Hi Guys, I've just started my ITEC Sports Massage course and Im stuck on the following question for my homework:
The most beneficial massage movement for a client presenting with semimembranosus tension would be:
a) Hacking
b) Vibrations
c) Kneading
d) Cupping
would i be right if the answer is c) kneading?
Hi Jill,
I think you are correct, the others could be used for toning and not for releasing tension, its like all questions if you usually take away two wrong answers that are obvious, you are left with 50/50, I would have left kneading and vibrations with kneading the most likely,

Thanks BGFL:) kneading does sound like the obvious one, but as you say vibrations could be used as well, which is why i was stuck lol,
I'll choose Kneading then.
Hi Jdholistic,
Hacking and Cupping doesn't sound right.
Vibrations could actually be a possibility as this movement can literally surprise the muscle into releasing its tension but as far as I am aware it is usually used when tight muscles are not responding well to pretrissage movements.
Hence, I would agree with both of you and would go for kneading.
Love
Zimba
