Frozen pelvis
Hi Everyone,
Saw a client this morning for her first Somatics session. I did a Lesson 1. She has lots of pain in the groin area, both legs, and her right leg feels like it "locks" sometimes. She walks with no rotation, her pelvis especially.
When I got to the glute release, I was amazed at how there was no rotation at all. As soon as I moved her leg, her pelvis went with her. I did km of glute and low back, then did the glute release - not much happed with the latter. I decided instead of doing anything else with that protocol, I did hip release, both legs. Right leg frozen, left leg a bit of movement. She did get a slight increase in range.
While I was working with her right leg, I thought of going upstream, meaning next session with me, she needs to work on rotation in torso - to free up her muscles there.
So my question is - would a Lesson 2 be more appropriate or should I work more with the lessons from the somatics book, # 3 and 4, bringing her into wash cloth? I know a lot will depend on what she comes in like in 2 weeks, however, I'd like to think about this more and could use some guidance.
Thank you,
Nancy
