To be successful in treating lesions, frictions should be repeated during massage two to three times a week. The purpose is to deliberately break down tissue, stimulate vaso-dilation (widening of the blood vessels), increase localised circulation, and restore elasticity.

Particular attention must be paid to how long and how vigorously frictions are applied. Applying frictions for a period of several minutes during a massage session to a very confined area is quite normal. Using frictions for longer can have a particularly detrimental effect by irritating or even damaging healthy muscle fibres and causing inflammation. It is far better to err on the side of caution and increase the amount of frictions applied during a subsequent massage session if necessary.
