massage therapy reflexology Massage Tutorial: 4 techniques to make your client "feel taller"

These myofascial release techniques are profound, and they let your client stand up feeling more freedom and ease in their posture.
1:03 Stretching the spine
4:39 Stretching the hip/QL
6:15 Ankle pull
6:51 Cranial cradle

When applying these myofascial stretches, make sure to take your time. When working with broad areas of the body like this, I find that I can slow down and just hold the pressure without the massage feeling boring. In fact, these can be great ways to break up routines that could otherwise be monotonous. They're also great ways of beginning or ending your massage!

1) Craniosacral stretch. For this technique, start by gently applying pressure to the base of the skull at the occipital ridge. Your other hand can gently glide down to a resting place just superior to the sacrum and apply some pressure inferiorly. Allow this feeling to persist for 5 breaths and ease your way out.
2) Hip stretch. Apply pressure on the posterior ankle, sinking it in to the bolster. Use your other hand to press the lower ribs superiorly. Sink the weight of your torso down toward the table, applying a myofascial stretch to the QL region and hips.
3) Ankle pull. Scoop up both ankles with an encompassing grip and sink your weight back into your stance. Let your body weight apply this traction, and don't feel like you need to lift the ankles far above the table.
4) Cranial cradle: Strip up the paraspinals into the posterior neck and skull, allowing your fingers to curl once you're past the hairline. Let your 8 fingertips sink into the occiput while resting the backs of your hands on the table. Take your time, and slowly exit at the end.
