Before I try to create a more fluid rotational movement in the spine, I work on creating space between the vertebrae using a variety of soft tissue techniques. This helps to minimise any negative effects from a tight compressed spinal column trying to rotate.
Sometimes creating space is enough to address lower back complaints, but it's an important concept to address the whole of the spine. It can help ease the transition from a rigid upright behaviour when your aim is to increase the circular & rotational movements of the torso.
This week's Massage Monday demonstrates STR on the sacrum and along the crest of the hip. This is the start of the process of opening up the lower back & pelvis connection, increasing movement & ease. It is a subtle but strong technique and can be applied in a couple of directions as well as specifically to an area that needs change.
Top Tip - you know you've taken up the right amount of slack with your lock when your client can only move a small amount, the saying 'less is more' is very apt in this case.
