Clinical ConsiderationIt is common to employ combinations of loading techniques. Example:combining compression with shearing/oscillation creates a heat generatingand friction-like effect that impacts HA in ways that increase its lubricationpotential and thereby improves tissue slide/glide capabilities (Roman et al.2013).
Lifting techniquesThe techniques in this category are aimed at lifting and separating onecomponent away from another, such as muscle away from underlying bone orskin away from underlying SF. Lifting techniques can be combined with tension,bending, shear and torsion and can be utilized to address both superficial anddeeper tissues/layers. Barrier considerations apply.Vertical liftsVertical lifts, a form of tension loading, can be used to treat scars and/or tissuethat can be gripped between the thumb and fingers. A vertical or perpendicularlift/stretch is applied and held until a release is felt, allowing for further stretch.The technique can be applied in sequence, with brief rest periods, until nofurther tissue mobilization or stretch can be elicited (Fourie 2014), as illustratedin Figure 9.12.Skin rollingSkin that is stuck or adhered to SF can occur as a result of trauma and maysuggest underlying problems such as scarring that extends to deeper tissue.

Lifting techniques
The techniques in this category are aimed at lifting and separating one
component away from another, such as muscle away from underlying bone or
skin away from underlying SF. Lifting techniques can be combined with tension,
bending, shear and torsion and can be utilized to address both superficial and
deeper tissues/layers. Barrier considerations apply.
Vertical lifts
Vertical lifts, a form of tension loading, can be used to treat scars and/or tissue
that can be gripped between the thumb and fingers. A vertical or perpendicular
lift/stretch is applied and held until a release is felt, allowing for further stretch.
The technique can be applied in sequence, with brief rest periods, until no
further tissue mobilization or stretch can be elicited (Fourie 2014), as illustrated
in Figure 9.12.
Skin rolling
Skin that is stuck or adhered to SF can occur as a result of trauma and may
suggest underlying problems such as scarring that extends to deeper tissue.
