Then the hip is fully extended on treatment table and CMR is applied on Vastus lateralis muscle for 1 minute. Treatment consists of broad strokes applied with clinicians knuckles to release superficial restrictions, followed by more specific strokes applied with clinicians' thumb on tight muscle. Strokes are applied at a contact point of 45 degree. With pressure directed from distal to proximal.
