Where does this technique come from?
The treatment is a specific blend of massage modalities that derive from physical therapy, including deep lymphatic drainage and deep tissue release. Charles W. Wiltsie III, LMT, an internationally recognized massage therapy educator and practitioner created it. Mr. Wiltsie conducted a year-long study of 100 female subjects that documented the effectiveness of the technique, which was published in Massage and Bodywork magazine in 1999. In the study, notable results included an average inch loss per thigh of almost 1-1/2 inches.
