[Le massage transversal profond (M.T.P.)] s'adresse électivement aux manifestations douloureuses post-traumatiques des appareils musculo-tendineux et capsulo-ligamentaire [...] Quant à son impact musculaire, Cyriax attribue au massage profond la rupture d'adhérences, qui ne se reconstitueront pas si le M.T.P. est suivi d'un travail actif : «la friction transversale profonde peut être résumée comme procurant une mobilisation que ni l'étirement passif ni les exercices actifs ne peuvent apporter» Cyriax.  1, record 1, French, - friction%20transversale%20profonde
