Lifting. Begin by grasping the tissue in an approximation-compression manner (apply enough

pressure to be able to securely hold onto the tissue), then lift the tissue away from underlying

structures. This technique can be used near and directly over scars (in the appropriate stage of

healing). Lifting can be combined with shearing (see B) and oscillations – with oscillations the

tissue is lifted and then sheared in a back and forth manner. (B) Lift and shear. As in (A), the

therapist’s left hand grasps the tissue in an approximation-compression manner and lifts the tissue –

simultaneously, the right hand shears underneath the lifted tissue. This technique application

achieves a skin rolling-type effect.
