session 4 inner leg work: Ben & Carol
In this session we are trying to lengthen in inner leg and start to free the pelvis from the leg. Most of this session is done with the client laying on their side.
Ben: looking at our progress since session three Ben seems to be finding a line of energy that runs through him and supports him. Looking to see what we will pay attention to in this session it looks as though Ben’s adductors come forward when he bends his knees, we want to see them fall back. Also his ankle hinge seems a bit restricted. Through the session his tissue felt very tight and sticky as though there wasn’t good separation of his muscles. After the session as Ben bent his knees his adductors fell back and his ankle had more freedom, not causing his heel to rise.
Carol: as we saw with Ben, Carol has also begun to find this line of energy and support, so that she finds herself with better posture that is easy. As we assessed what stands out before session 4 there was a slight forward movement of the adductors. Working on Carol she felt that this was an easier session for her, and I felt that her body was more quick to respond to what we were doing. At the end of the session her adductors fell back.
