VIDEO: How to Tape the Hand for Barbell and Gymnastics Work
Voodoo Floss
The other day I was using some of MobilityWOD’s Voodoo floss on my knee and some of you asked how it works. I honestly didn’t know how to explain it so I asked the Doc to do a short write up on it…
“Using a compression based mobilization of the joint you can restore proper mobility of the soft tissues and improve positions at end range of that joint. For this technique, a stretchy rubber material is used (bicycle tube or mobilitywod.com’s VooDoo floss). To use, create compression around the joint by wrapping the rubber band above and below the area of focus. The purpose of this flossing technique is to create a shearing force that restores the sliding surfaces of tissues around the joint; create a flexion gapping at the joint to restore full range of motion; to increase blood flow to areas around the joint that have been poorly saturated; and for swelling to help increase flow back into the lymphatic system to be drained. This is a very all inclusive mobilization technique to take care of the junk built up around the joints.” – Dr. Laura Koenig, P.T., D.P.T
