The 3rd in a very popular series of Pain Free Release, trying to take the normally most noxious techniques and make them pain free for everyone, not just people in pain.
Technique
- stand behind patient
- using an EDGE Mobility Ball (other ball or your fist lightly), place between inferior 12 rib and superior iliac crest space
- position should be slightly behind midline
- apply light pressure medially until resistance is felt
- may be slightly uncomfortable, but pain is not acceptable
- takes 3-5 diaphragmatic breaths
- concentrate on a slow full exhale to reduce tone with a 2-3 second hold of breath at the end of exhale
- as tone reduces, slowly progress in medial depth
Improves:
- ipsilateral sidegliding in standing, ability to load ipsilateral lumbar pain
- if someone is blocked in SGIS, rotation in flexion, or is threatened under load to their own HEP, this along with a pain free psoas release is key to mitigate threat
