Bone-Washing Massage: A Deep Tissue and Lymphatic Therapy DVD by Mineko Fujii

Experience the transformative "Bone-Washing Massage," a unique technique designed to flush out waste and stagnant tissue fluids around the skeletal structure. By targeting the spaces between muscles and congested joints, this method promotes deep relaxation and a profound sense of physical release. Using precise vertical pressure to melt away tension and guide it toward lymphatic drainage, this massage follows the skeletal framework, developed through years of hands-on expertise. Ideal for therapists and wellness enthusiasts, this DVD offers a step-by-step guide to mastering this innovative approach.
