"By the way I think it's fair to assume that we have all had ample training and experience in communication skills but I thought I'd just sort of remind us all that "when we use the word 'you' while sort of…"

"Is that a typo or did you really mean 'stressing the glutes'???  If you meant stressing...or even if you meant stretching...neither in itself will release a Psoas.  The Psoas doesn't necessarily have an on/off switch to it,…"

"I haven't seen the Psoas book, but I'm going to guess that Liz Koch might have explained what has become my Psoas motto, which is "where the Psoas goes....you ARE going to follow"!  King Pin....absolutely!!!  "

"A pretty good "no fail" quick test for the Psoas......gently touch the Anterior side where the thigh and pelvis connect, if the client jumps or squeals....ding, ding, ding!  It may be tender or "tender/ticklish" and be…"

" Ahhh stretching...for myself...I do sort of a Neutral "let gravity do the work" stretch using things like furniture or walls as the support.  I breathe into it and rest until I feel myself "let down".  I tend to…"

"To finish quickly here...The Psoas has been quite a teacher for me and prompted me to stretch beyond the basic training I got at Massage School.  LOVE this work!!!  What amazing and phenominal vehicles we've got!    "

""Like minds"...I love it!  I send my clients home with homework too!  The Psoas...was not really on my radar screen as a new practitioner...until it brought me to my knees and landed me in bed to essentially do what I call my…"

"Too bad I found this so late...would have liked to join in while it was actually going on.  I have been that person with nerve impingement....thus, it gave me some insight and tools with which to unravel the nasty thing! (*~*)  What I…"
