Medical Flossing

Medical flossing, also known as tissue flossing or voodoo flossing, is a therapeutic technique used to enhance mobility and reduce pain in muscles and joints. This method involves wrapping a specialized elastic band tightly around a specific area of the body to create compression. The band is typically applied for a short duration while the patient performs specific movements or exercises. The compression and subsequent release are believed to help increase blood flow, break up adhesions, and improve tissue mobility. Medical flossing is commonly used by physical therapists, chiropractors, and athletes to aid in recovery, improve performance, and alleviate pain from conditions such as tendinitis, sprains, and joint stiffness.
