Yep - killer, eh?
Elsie - how did you do your biofeedback? I'm very interested in what you've learned about hips / psoas. Could you direct me to a website that will explain???

Justine,
This is the book that my practitioner refers to and she was trained by him in Oregon. http://www.amazon.com/NeuroKinetic-.../ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
She basically did a series of "tests" with me do figure out where my dysfunction was (very small movements of muscle contraction etc. against a surface or her arm and then measured the feedback from areas around it) & for me personally, it was hiding in my psoas and fascial tissue over the groin. I say hiding cause for years (over 16) chiropractors and PTs have been trying to treat me for piriformis weakness and honestly the treatment was only going so far and I still have pain on one side (plus all the crunching etc. I was having). Since I have scoliosis, what is weak on one side or overcompensating etc. is not going to be the same on the other. So, on the bottom half of my body, the left front is weak and on the upper part of my body it's right back. Anyway, I won't go TOO into detail about my own ailments, lol, but you get the idea.
I have not gotten to reading the material myself yet as I am still immersed in some other things. Only so much time, right?
It just has been so helpful to know what is exactly going on in my hip. It was amazing to me that when she was releasing the congestion from my psoas, I could feel sensation in my mid back!! The hip is a complicated region of the body, particularly with women, and a lot can happen over the years.I do use what I have learned just in the classes about biofeedback and neurokinesis & incorporate it with what I also like to practice in Yin Yoga. This book has been so, so helpful for me http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/15..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1MGZM1MH1GN7M9QXH4YV
Sorry I cannot exactly explain technically to you.

Glad it worked
... Can not really try it myself as I do not own slanted risers. I have less risers to stack up to my hip girdle.With my weight bench, I get full range of motion (ROM). It works fine and will be using it on regular basis.
This exercise can be modified unilaterally standing with or without a band. It is less intense. Does not hit the shelf as much
The version below does not hit the erector spine (lower back) as the RHE. It is good to add it in from time
to time though as finisher or a pre-exhauster

Hi,
What model of a roman chair do you have that lets you do all three? I thought it would just let you do back extensions. Thanks for your time

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I don't get on my computer on the weekends. Here is the model I have. It technically wasn't designed for reverse hypers but I make it work.

I have this same model. It works very well!

Elsie - thank you so much for the info. I'm trying to understand why one of my hips (in fact all the left hand side of my body) has such restricted ROM compared to the right. Foam rollering the IT band on the left really hurts, whereas on the right it's sort of a 'good hurt'. I know it could be something like differing leg length etc, but I'm keen to try to even out the imbalance.
I'm off to have a closer look at the books now....

I'm the same, Justine. Everything on my left side is much tighter than the right side. Hoping my Mark Lauren Mobility Rx will help with that. I'm also going to check out the books.

Justine, I find if it is a good hurt that responds well to pressure, it means that you are successfully releiving congestion/inflammation there. If it's too tender to touch like you say on your left side though, I would suggest trying softer balls but using it more often rather than foam roller. I find tcm practitioners are really skilled at helping with this as well with electro-acupuncture. I actually prefer the traditional clinics where you notice that many of the clients/patients are Chinese or Korean. I realize that this might sound bad/rude, but I went through a few "western" ones and in all honesty, they did not get to my problems. I found one of the differences (perhaps cultural, I dunno?) was that at the more traditionally managed clinics they were not afraid to really "get in there" and find the problem spots whereas the more "western" ones seemed a bit uncomfortable in the pelvic area. I ran into this alot with the groin/psoas issue I was having and it got to be frustrating. I feel lucky here on the west coast to have plentyful access to various medical approaches, I suppose.
It's really been the neurokinesis though that has made the most impact because now I know why. That might not be important to everyone, but for some reason, I needed that. lol.

Elsie,
Cultural hmmm yes may be.
You have pointed out a valid point there about "getting in there" Western culture is not much open to touching interaction.
When I got my certification we were repeatedly told do not touch the client. God knows how many time that sentences came up
.Some of class participant failed assessment just because they have forgotten not to touch trainees while giving instructions.
In real life it is different. When someone get to know you, the person will be less apprehensive of course.
I do not necessarily agree with this when It comes to healing process especially. From coaching standing point it can prove to be necessary.
That being said people can easily get sued here just because someone allegedly claim you have touched someone in inappropriate way.
~Elsie
Cathlete
Exactly. And that's why the governing/regulatory bodies have these very strict codes of conduct put in place. Also, a lot of people cannot relax if there isn't adequate 'personal space' for them. I'm just not one of those people. lol. I feel entirely comfortable just getting nude during bodywork for example, cause the way I see it, I am just another body on the table that they are aiming to use their skills to heal. Although I understand that not everyone feels this way (or perhaps had a weird experience in the past).
So, what type of coach are you Nathalie?
(didn't intend on hijacking this thread)

Ha ha ha
Another body on the table --- Exactly you are right. Again it is all in the mind!
I think we all need time to get slightly loose
to relax!PhewOn a side note:
Sorry for the highjackIn Germany, It is compulsory to get in sauna completely naked. which is not the case in some european countries.
This makes sense to me. I am not against
You would feel comfortable ElsieThat being said, this below; online yoga nude classes is No no no for me and creepy!!

Elsie - that made me giggle. The guy I get massaged by is a good friend - I don't think he'd be able to look me in the eye at the pub, if I totally stripped whilst he was manipulating my legs!
Perhaps I ought to see someone else, as well?
Also, my Pilates instructor does Rolfing. Do you know if that's worth trying?
~Elsie
Cathlete
Haahahaa!!!! I see what you mean.
AWKward.The only thing I've heard of rolfing is that it's quite intense. (I think the most intense therapies I have tried are cupping which I have done regularly but I lost my dear acupuncturist cause she moved and traditional Russian sports massage) I have had not tried that type of bodywork myself. I think you ought to try it cause it is not a common practice as far as I know. In my area, there are only more than a handful of people certified. How much is a session?

The first (long) rolfing session is £60, and then £40 thereafter. (Is that about $40 and $25?) Helps that I live in the middle of nowhere, and things like that tend to be cheaper (my massage is only $30 / £20 ). I think I'll give it a go, and of course, I'll report back.

This is not British pound to US dollar exchange conversion is it?

When I lived in Seattle, I went to a Rolfer. LOVED IT!! Hurt sooo good. But, I felt great afterwards. My Rolfer was built like a linebacker, so it was intense. But so good. You're getting a great deal, Justine. I paid $80 a session.
