Releasing the Lower Back and Hips with Darien Pritchard

This workshop presents a variety of ways of working to release accumulated tension in the lower trunk – a common area of stiffness and soreness – and to increase mobility in the lower back and at the hip joints. It covers specific deep massage, vibration and pressure techniques for releasing tensions. These are allied with passive movements and dynamic stretches to promote a greater ease and flexibility.

The workshop looks at the choice of appropriate techniques for each client, ways of moderating the pressure, how to blend them smoothly into a massage session, and relevant exercises to offer the client for self-maintenance. There is an emphasis on good bodyuse for the practitioner, and ‘listening’ with your hands (monitoring and adapting to the client’s responses).
