Module #15

 

I like the wave and to add the cross to it is great. I have done the circle before and it really is helpful. I like adding the cross wave to the session too. When doing the chest on a large breasted client would you do the side circles or would you avoid them? Could you purposefully place your hand to move the breast tissue so you had better contact with the rib cage and do the side circles? My client liked the upper chest work and the elephant walk on the shoulder.

"You just let the energy guide you" - that's a good recipe for being in a flow state! Once you know the techniques well enough that you don't have to think about them all the time, you can just go with the flow and you will spontaneously do the right thing.

Regarding hands on the side of the chest on large breasted clients, this depends on your relationship with the client and on the situation. If the breasts are kind of spilling over the sides, and the client is not wearing a bra, then you would probably mostly skip this movement. However there might be cases where the client is very comfortable with you and doesn't mind having their breasts moved around a bit as long as they like the move.

My partner liked the shoulder work. The shoulder/neck area was what she commented on, of how great that area felt. And the rocking or wiggle of the should/arm.

My partner liked this session but it was not a 'wow' like the legs and feet.  I liked the session - it was a relaxing session for me. Same pattern as the leg work.

Module #18

I have the transition from left to right side down. The shoulder '8' - I need to concentrate on my body mechanics more. And my partner agreed, she said it felt 'ok' but not smooth.

Module #19

I worked on the '8' and I am feeling better with it. My body mechanics are better and it feels to flow much easier. My partner enjoyed it 'better than the first time for sure".

My partner really enjoyed this module too. The stretch at the ish-tub was nice. I really can see where parts of one module can be incorporated with other modules, depending on the client needs.

I love doing hamstring work and glute work. Clients enjoy the work after even if they are a bit questionable before.

My partner enjoyed the leg stretches. I felt the resistance when my partner was at the limit but the next session I could go further. Seeing progress is rewarding.

Module #23

I like doing work on the sacrum.  I feel this is an overlooked area. My partner enjoyed this session as well. If I have a client that has SI problems (pinched nerve) would you work on that area in the supine or prone position first? I have in the past worked on them in the prone position first.

I like this module to add. I do a lot of back work on clients and I like to work on the erectors and this will save on my thumbs that I have used in the past. My partner likes the heel of my hand over my thumbs.

Module #25

I thought I would not like working with my knee on clients backs. I thought it would be too powerful but it was nice working with my knee. It will take a bit to perfect this move but I like it and will continue to use this on larger clients.

If you are sensitive, you can work very gently with your knees, even on not so big clients. It's just a matter of developing some feeling in your knees. It will never match the feeling in your hands, but with practice you can do a lot with your knees on many areas of the body: back, feet, legs, glutes, arms, back and shoulders.

I like the back work with the forearm and elbow to give hands a break. My client liked the elephant walking.

The circling and the kneading on the traps really loosen it well. My client liked the shoulder blade work.

I am not a fan of sitting on the client.  I do like the palming of the hip and my client did as well.

I enjoy doing the palming and the spinal twist. My client enjoyed the low back stretch.

I think this is my favorite. I have a lot of clients with tight shoulders and my client is one of them and she enjoyed the work.Laugh

Module# 32

I love the side lying position for the shoulder work and scapula. I have always done shoulder work in the prone position but the side lying opens for free range of motion and still able to get the trap too. It makes it feel free.
