Possibly one of Lauren Berry's greatest contributions to Massage therapy was in recognizing that muscles, tendons and ligaments have an optimal anatomical position and can be shifted off that position via trauma, adaptation, etc. Through recognizing, respecting and responding to that functional organization, therapists can often reduce tension and pain rather quickly. Often times it is a simple matter of putting the tissue back where it belongs. Think about that! Muscles to be studied will include; Psoas, Biceps Femoris, Quadratus Lumborum, Obturator Internus, Tensor Fascia Latae, Gracilis, Iliocostalis Lumborum and Thoracis, Longissimus Thoracis, Sacrotuberous Ligament....and more. There will be lots of 'hands on' practice.
The next time a client comes in you address their specific back tension, these techniques will provide you with advanced' tactile tools' that can relax the specific soft tissue associated with many back problems. There are as many styles of massage and bodywork as there are cultures and the variations on each style are infinite. As they are a personal art as much as a science, each personality will add some unique feature.
As a student progress through the sequence they begin to gather a greater appreciation for the 'inter-connectedness' of the body...for example how carpal tunnel symptoms can often be successfully addressed by including specific elbow massage or that ankle issues can be traced to distortions around the knee.(The Nose Ring)
