A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Ben Greenfield discussing hands-on skin work: the speaker comments on Ben’s oxygenated skin and demonstrates lifting and elongating the skin to release adhesions, reduce surface tension, and increase blood flow. The technique is described as a preparatory step that makes subsequent lotion application and massage more effective and faster.
It's hard with Ben. Ben is an oxenate. Oxygenated. How do you say that? Oxygenated. Human being. Oxygenated. Oxygenated. That's what I meant to say. Usually on people, you can really see how the blood flow comes to that surface level. But Ben has a pretty good. You can still see it, but not quite as good. What are you doing there with the skin? Lifting, moving it and elongating it. What that does is it works. That tension. Surface. Surface area getting all the adhesions out of it, a lot of blood flow comes. And the reason I do this is because when I go in with my lotion and my massage, all that prep work is already done. Because sometimes when you massage, you can massage 5, 10 minutes to get this much blood flow, and it just gets rid of that surface tension. It makes my job easier.
