Edge™ Massage Head
Target wide, thin bands of tissue
The Edge has a semi-flexible tip ideal for targeting wide, thin bands of tissues such as the Iliotibial band (IT band) that extends from the gluteal muscles to the outer knee. A common problem among distance runners is IT Band Syndrome. This condition occurs when the IT band becomes inflamed and irritated from repetitive motion, improper training techniques, and other physical issues. It can cause pain in the hips, quadriceps, and knee. The Edge is also useful for treating the trapezius and lumbar muscles.
Application: Using downward pressure, slowly move the Edge horizontally across tissues to release myofascial trigger points and muscle tension.
