Pelvis Massage CPD Workshop - Iliopsoas & Adductors.

The Pelvis CPD Workshop – Iliopsoas & Adductors.

The Pelvis Workshop explores the world of the Iliopsoas and adductors, and how we might facilitate releasing this muscle group. Working safely, responsibly, and effectively in such a vulnerable, difficult to access area requires sensitivity, and finely tuned communication skills.

The attachments of the psoas major/minor on the lumbar vertebrae are deep to the abdominal contents. Access can be blocked by a forbidding network of compacted fascia that binds abdominal viscera together. Additionally clients might present further physical barriers in the abdominal wall in the form of contracted tissue.

The proximity of the genitals to the adductor attachments on the pubis presents the most obvious safety concern when working around the adductors. Additionally, adductor work might cause a number of issues to arise that can cause the client to experience emotional reactions as varied as arousal, embarrassment, shame, fear, and anger. If we do not manage the treatment correctly, we risk making the client feel unnecessarily uncomfortable. Awareness of what can (and does) go wrong is the foundation of ensuring safety for both client and therapist.

We will learn to maintain our awareness of danger and use it to develop a very calm and caring approach. By focusing on communication skills, towel management, and the therapeutic alliance we will learn to establish a safe environment for both our clients, and ourselves when working with the pelvic attachments.
