The aim of this technique is to increase joint mobility.

At the end of treating of certain body parts or treatment zones the masseuse uses intensive three- line movements: trashing with the inner palm, hacking with the edge of the palm and nabbing with fingers, what speeds up the local blood circulation, relaxes and smoothest while muscle tone, relaxes the joints.
