Linda responds well to nonthrust work and a wholebody approach. This treatment is different than what we usually post. The work is largely based on osteopathic methods such as positional release, induction, and of course myofascial release.

She has a small frame, small bones, and a highly sensitive nervous system. Many patients present this way and they all need (and appreciate) slow, gentle, mindful work. If you can gain experience and confidence working with this population, you will always have people who want to work with you.

This treatment started at the bottom and we worked our way up, but that is not necessarily the only way to start. You can always start where it hurts.

Taking time to palpate and assess each region prior to starting allows for the patient's body to acclimate to the touch and movement.

Palpate structures out and be as precise as you can with your contacts, the patient's body will respond with relaxation as their nervous system senses the knowledge and caring in your hands.

I demonstrate techniques for the foot/ankle, knee, hip, SI and lumbosacral junctions, ribs, midback, shoulders, neck and cranium.
