A Bio Reverent Approach Part Two

Published in MASSAGE Magazine (USA) May/June 2005 and co-authored with David Berceli Ph.D. Part Two offers a practical approach for working with the psoas. Direct palpation and manipulative techniques traditionally taught in most massage schools and bodywork programs do not provide the psoas with the respect crucial for gaining its dynamic function. As an instinctually reflexive and emotionally expressive tissue, the psoas has many intricate and interdependent relationships that need to be understood as well as neurological and chemical expressions specifically associated with trauma that must be respected.
