Hip and low back pain are two of the most common complaints that massage therapists address on a daily basis. Let's get a little deeper into our practice and get comfortable working with the Iliopsoas complex.

​

Quite often, common trigger point patterns and fascial connections of the Iliopsoas can create dysfunctional breathing along with discomfort anywhere in the abdominopelvic region. 

​

• Review the anatomy of the entire abdominopelvic region

• Create a deeper understanding of the kinesiological aspects of the Iliopsoas

• Learn how to advise clients how to improve the function of the Iliopsoas, and who to refer out to when no longer within our scope of practice

• Have a deeper understanding of how the Iliopsoas integrates movement with stabilization

• Understand the indications and contraindications of addressing the Iliopsoas

• Have time to practice effectively addressing the iliopsoas prone, supine, and side-lying.

 

*Massage tables, linens, and lubricant for the skin, are required for this course
