deep tissue massage bruising Massage Tutorial: Ankle pain techniques and strategy

Got massage clients with ankle pain? Consider all of the structures that might be contributing to that pain: the dorsi- and plantarflexors, and the inverters and everters. Realize that, while the pain may "live" in the ankle, the soft tissue criss-crossing the joint is likely playing a role in that pain sticking around.

With this particular client, I found it necessary to use lighter-pressure massage. Her sensitivity has been ramping up over the last few years, especially as she's transitioned from steady dance training to other activities. I have no intention of trying to break up adhesions, bust up "knots," or coax her fascia toward a particular direction. Instead, I'd like to give her nervous system the signal to calm down and reduce its sensitivity. While some clients might seek painful massage to treat painful conditions, I think that this is often counterproductive.

Let me know what you think! Would you treat this particular case any differently? Are there techniques that you'd recommend? Tell me about it in the comments!
