I could share a story or two about unusual places I have found myself treating a client, in a 5-star restaurant, on the forest floor, in the middle of a piazza, the list goes on... adapting it to fit the circumstance only needed my hands and a willingness to be creative.This week's Massage Monday takes our session to the floor, the client is in supine and I'm working on the calves. This position can potentially place a great deal of stress on your back. My top tips to help protect your back are:
👉 To use the longer leg in front as a counterforce to help balance your posture
👉 Find the best angle that helps you get into a position of ease
👉 Make sure the leg in front is active (i.e. pushing the heel of the foot into the ground) so you're using it as a counterforce that helps support and maintains an upright posture.
The top tip I forgot to mention in the video is to imagine a string pulling your umbilicus softly towards your spine, (avoid sucking in the gut, too hard to keep up for very long). This helps to engage your abs to support your back for the health of your spine, it is better than doing sit-ups!
