THE METHOD
WHAT IS
MYOFASCIAL
FLUSHING?
Myofascial flushing is a hands-on recovery technique designed to work through the body's fascial tissue — the connective layer that surrounds and supports muscles, tendons, and joints.
The Rodrigo Method applies this technique using a precision-engineered, free-spinning steel instrument. Operated by qualified professionals, the flushing stick moves along specific tissue pathways to apply controlled, directional force — supporting mobility and recovery for athletes and high-performers.
Not medical care. Performance-focused recovery.
THE INSTRUMENT
THE FLUSHING STICK
The flushing stick is a stainless steel roller with a 360° free-spinning axis. Unlike percussive devices that impact tissue perpendicularly, it moves along tissue pathways — following the body's contours and adjusting direction in real time.
It is a professional steel instrument used in every session, operated by qualified professionals.
This instrument is not a medical device and is not used to diagnose or treat any condition.
ENGINEERING SPEC
THE PROTOCOL
THREE PRINCIPLES
PRECISION
Targeted compression and guided positioning along key movement pathways, working systematically through the body's tissue layers.
VELOCITY
Rapid, directional strokes along the muscle. Pressure and direction are adjusted throughout the session.
RESILIENCE
Consistent protocol built for active people. Sessions are designed to fit around a training schedule, not interrupt it.

HOW IT DIFFERS
NOT A MASSAGE.
NOT A GUN.
NOT A ROLLER.
Myofascial flushing is a distinct technique. The following comparisons describe the mechanical differences — not medical or clinical equivalence claims.
Traditional massage focuses on muscle relaxation through sustained pressure. Myofascial flushing uses a precision steel instrument to apply controlled, directional force along tissue pathways — a fundamentally different mechanical approach.
Foam rolling relies on body weight and self-application. The Rodrigo Method is performed by qualified professionals using a free-spinning steel tool, allowing for depth and directionality that cannot be replicated by self-tools.
Massage guns produce perpendicular percussive impact at preset depths. Myofascial flushing uses a 360°-axis rolling motion that can follow the body's contours, adjust pressure in real time, and move along tissue rather than striking it.
Assisted stretching targets muscle length and joint range. Myofascial flushing targets the connective tissue layer around the muscle. The methods can complement each other but are not equivalent.
COMMON QUESTIONS
MYOFASCIAL FLUSHING,
EXPLAINED
How is it different from sports massage?
Sports massage is mainly hands-only. A Rodrigo Method session centers on the Rodrigo Method Flushing Stick, a free-spinning stainless steel tool used for rapid, directional strokes along the muscle, combined with deep stretching and guided breathwork.
How is it different from compression boots?
Compression boots are a passive, automated device. A session is hands-on and delivered by qualified professionals, with pressure and direction adjusted throughout, and it covers more than the legs.
How is it different from a massage gun or foam roller?
Massage guns deliver perpendicular percussion and foam rollers depend on your body weight. Both are self-applied. The Flushing Stick rolls on a free-spinning axis and is operated by qualified professionals, so pressure and direction can change stroke by stroke.
Who is it for?
Runners, lifters, CrossFit athletes, cyclists, and busy professionals who want recovery to be a regular part of their routine. People managing an injury, acute pain, or a health condition should consult a qualified healthcare professional before booking.
What does a first session feel like?
Intense but controlled. Every session starts with a short intake, then the full protocol. Many clients report feeling lighter and moving more freely afterwards. Individual responses vary.
How often do clients book sessions?
Clients in active training typically book once or twice per week. Monthly plans are built for that rhythm.
