It seems that many experienced people can do it, but in fact many professional therapists misunderstand the elbow press technique. If you push your elbow down, the angle of pressure changes and the pressure does not reach deep into the muscles. Not only that, it can also lead to poking bones and inflicting unnecessary injuries. The elbow press uses the power of the hips rather than the arms and shoulders to apply pressure. It is difficult if the therapist himself does not start by taking into account the central pressure and setting up a system and taking a comfortable posture. Elbow press technique that looks easy but is actually very difficult. The distance and stance will also change depending on the physique of the therapist.

Elbow presses and knee presses are categories of power presses, but they can actually express a very gentle touch. For example, in the elbow press, there is an approach where only the elbow bone is applied, and there are also cases where a few centimeters including the elbow bone are used as a surface. It may not be exactly an elbow press, but I sometimes use about 10 centimeters of the forearm. By changing the direction of the arm, you can approach with both bones and muscles, or use only the muscles by gently applying them. Anyway, a tool that can be used in a wide variety of ways is called an elbow. Knee press also has a trick. If you just push it against it, it will wobble, so you have to be creative with how you pull it. It is also necessary to control the area to be hit by the angle of the knee. A powerful knee press that can easily damage your ribs if you make a mistake. If you can use it, your level as a therapist will improve dramatically. to meet client demand.
