Why is one of our MER modules called Inspiration?

Inspiration literally means breathing in, and this module looks closely at what happens in the body when we inhale.

The diaphragm descends. The ribs expand. The thorax changes shape. The spine responds. Fascia adapts to this movement with every breath.

When mobility in the thorax, diaphragm, ribs or surrounding fascia is reduced, breathing patterns change too. Accessory muscles may take on extra work, the rib cage may move unevenly, and certain areas can stay under constant tension.

During the Inspiration module, we explore these relationships through Myofascial Energetic Release.

We work with the thorax, ribs, diaphragm and related fascial structures, while using breath to support movement and tissue response. As breathing mechanics improve, the work can reach areas that pressure alone may struggle to access.

Breath gives us information throughout a session: where movement is available, where the body is holding, and how the tissue responds as that pattern begins to change.

That relationship between breath, fascia and touch is at the heart of the Inspiration module.

Your body holds onto things long after your mind has let them go.

You see it in shoulders that tilt, a pelvis pulled slightly to one side, a chest that never fully opens. None of that is random. It's protection, a shape the body built around old stress because that was the only way it knew to deal with it back then.

Give it enough time and that shape just becomes you, until you stop noticing it and it's simply how you stand now.

CENTERING is the next module in our MER training this November, and this is exactly what we work with there. We learn to read these patterns in the body and to help someone actually let go of them.

𝐋𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲.
In the new episode of the MER Pain Release Series, 𝐔𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐥, certified MER trainer, demonstrates how she approaches a client experiencing lower back pain.
Rather than going immediately to the painful area, Ulla begins with connection, breath and broad strokes across the full back. She then moves into deeper, more focused work:
→ Along the lower back and iliac crest
→ Through different layers of the glutes
→ Toward the psoas region while the client lies face down
The glutes and psoas can both be part of the wider pattern of tension experienced through the lower back and hips.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬. Working with the connections can help us understand where tension is being held and how the body responds to precise, attentive touch.

Bodyworkers: where do you usually begin when a client presents with lower back pain?

25/08/2026

Your hips do much more than move you.

The psoas connects the spine, pelvis, and legs, and it can play an important role in how the body responds to stress and fight-or-flight activation.

When there has been a lot of stress, tension can build in this area and become part of the way the body holds and protects itself.

In this reel, Ulla shares why working with the hips and psoas is such an important part of Myofascial Energetic Release and why this area can tell us so much about how the body has adapted over time.

In MER, we don’t only work with muscles. We pay attention to the whole pattern: tension, movement, breath, sensation, and the way the body responds when it begins to feel more supported.

This will be one of the key areas we explore in our next True North Bodywork module:
CENTERING - November 2026

Working with the pelvis, hips, legs, and our physical center, with time to feel, explore and understand what is actually happening in the body.

People usually notice their breath only when someone points it out.

That's often where bodywork starts, with noticing.

Fear and anxiety live in the body long after the moment that caused them has passed. They sit in the chest, in the shoulders, in the pattern of the breath itself. Over time this becomes the default, so familiar it feels normal.

Breath is usually the first place that shows. A shallow inhale. A held exhale. A rhythm that stays stuck in one part of the body instead of moving through all of it.

Bodywork creates space for the body to feel safe enough to let go of that pattern. Changing how you breathe happens naturally from there - a fuller, more spontaneous breath that responds to the present moment.

That shift ripples outward. When the breath settles, the whole nervous system follows.

Think about how many hours you spend seated in a day. Commuting, working, eating, scrolling. The pelvis holds one angle through most of it, tilted back, hip flexors shortened, weight settled into the same two points.

Tissue adapts to what it repeats. Over weeks and months, that seated angle becomes familiar territory for the fascia around the pelvis. It stops being a temporary position and starts being the shape the body defaults to, even when you stand up.

That's why alignment work isn't only about fixing a moment of bad posture. It's about reintroducing range the tissue has quietly stopped using. The pelvis can rotate, tilt, shift and settle in dozens of ways. Sitting for hours narrows that range down to one.

In the Centering module, this is exactly the territory we work in. Releasing the myofascial restrictions that build up around the pelvis and core, and helping the body rediscover movement options it had all along.

A few minutes of varied movement through the day can start to shift this. Standing, walking, changing position, letting the hips move through their full range. Small, but the tissue notices.

Your ribs move less than you think.

Most people breathe into a fraction of their lung capacity. The rest stays locked in a ribcage that's forgotten how to expand. Old injuries. Years hunched over a desk. Cold weather makes it worse, tightening tissue that was already stuck.

Athletes hit this hardest. You can train lungs and legs for years and still hit a ceiling because the thorax itself won't open.

MER works the diaphragm and the ribs directly, breaking up what's been stuck for years.

A tight pelvis can quietly reshape everything from your knees to your neck.

This part of the body holds a lot. Old posture habits, movement patterns, tension you stopped noticing years ago. When the pelvis is out of alignment, the rest of the body pays for it. Lower back pain, tight hips, even neck tension often trace back here.

Centering Modul from Myofascial Energetic Release teaches you to work with the pelvis and core as one connected system. You'll learn palpation, functional evaluation, myofascial release, and assisted stretches. As alignment shifts, breath tends to deepen and the body finds a stronger sense of internal support.

You don't need prior experience to join. Just curiosity and a willingness to work with the body.

Early bird pricing ends August 30. Details in bio.
