Neurological Distraction — Low Trap

One of the concepts I’ve learned from Chuck Duff’s approach to bodywork is the use of neurological distraction to change how the nervous system responds to a sensitive or restricted area.

Here I’m using vibration over the lower trapezius while working with the client in side-lying. The goal isn’t simply to “loosen the muscle,” but to introduce a different sensory input while working with the tissue and movement.

Sometimes changing the input to the nervous system can make it easier to work with an area that doesn’t respond well to traditional pressure alone.

This is one of the tools I like incorporating into my trigger point work when appropriate.

Glute work isn’t always about pushing harder.

In this technique, I’m combining forearm compression with contract-relax to work the glutes while incorporating active movement.

The client contracts the muscle, relaxes, and then I repeat the compression before moving into adduction. This gives me a way to combine hands-on tissue work with active mobility rather than simply holding a passive stretch.

This is one of the ways I like to approach restricted movement and stubborn areas of tension.

If your glutes always feel tight no matter how much you stretch them, sometimes the answer isn’t just more stretching.

Would you receive this shoulder treatment that’s pretending to be a neck treatment? 🤓

Fixing the bodies muscles like you fix a car is just outdated science. Work with the body not against it
