Peter Lelean's Migratory Fascia Syndrome
I am having the pleasure of Peter spending a few days with me in Rochester, NY. He's teaching me some fascinating information that he has uncovered over the past ten years and hoping to begin to spread on to a larger audience. Peter hails from Australia and is a frequent contributor here.
The strength of this work, as I see it thus far, is to open up the posterior lumbosacral region utilizing some unique concepts. There is adaptability in technique that can be used, as Peter's methods are quite different than my myofascial release skill. But the modality utilized is less important than the concept of a newly discovered ligament that gets pulled over the top of the posterior and lateral iliac crest as a result of excessive posterior fascial tightness. Remediation is really quite simple, once the basics are laid down.
Peter has been ever so gracious to take the time to come to teach this work to me and I am hoping to begin spreading this work to others in the States. I am hoping to introduce it in March, 2011, at my Advanced Foundations in Myofascial Release Seminar in Tucson, AZ.
Peter, do you have anything to add at this point?

Hi Walt, thank you for your kind comments. The relevance of this finding to all bodywork modalities will become apparent as it is rolled out by experienced practitioners across the USA and beyond. Observers at the World LBP Congress last week in LA expressed great interest, with a fully funded clinical trial on offer concerning a new risk factor for Ductal Carcinoma, and a proposed lecture tour to highlight the fundamental role of Lelean's Ligament on pelvic stability and myofascial recruitment.
The clients that we saw today at your clinic were a fine example of the high level of targeted remediation that is now possible. Certainly some fashionable modalities will have their foundations tested . . . to the benefit of the clients whose interests we serve. Early days . . . and the impact of the ligament on therapeutic outcomes can only grow from here. Tomorrow its the turn of Highered Hands (Kevin and Robyn Green) in Kansas City, and its time for a fledgling group of practitioners to get excited.
Best Regards,
Peter L

Peter,
I will be eager to learn of your further investigations. I will also be interested in your observations of how posture/pelvic asymmetries vary from Northern to Southern Hemispheres. We came across a bit of discrepancy over the past few days. I noted that the norm here is a right anterior pelvic rotations, while you were quite used to a left anterior rotation in Australia.
I had heard of this phenomenon in the past, but had little empirical evidence. Keep us informed!

Hi Peter and Walt,
Just want to say a big Thank You Peter for sharing you incredible Bodywork with us! In working with the clients since you left Kansas City, I continue to be absolutely amazed at the profound changes clients experience! This work is so exciting!
It was a profound experience when you came here nine years ago, you have exceeded any possible expectation I may have had! I look forward to your evolving success, I'm feel so blessed to be a part of this.

Hi Peter
I hope your fellow manipulators give significant recognition to these "ligaments" as repeatedly manipulating the lumber and S I joints while these thickened fascial spiral crossover lines are left untreated is not likely to help. imo
I don't know that using words like migratory or ligament make an easy to understand terminology when describing the fascia in this condition.?
Great that you are getting this out and under the noses of therapists, researchers etc

Stephen,
I think if you can get access to the full text version of this paper, those words may have greater meaning.

Thanks Walt I will try and get hold of the full transcriped.
Can you link any diagrams, MRI's, sketches, pics ect that might offer a better insight into position, depth, thickness, origin insertion etc?.
just tryin to get us all on the same page ....i y k w i m.

Peter,
After using your techniques for a couple of weeks, I will say that the results are impressive. Your approach has caused me to rethink my treatment, which is always a great thing. I find the most common result is a vast reduction in posterior pelvic tightness. Patients report much less pressure in this region after treatment.
Many thanks,
Walt
