The low back and hips are central to how the body supports itself and moves through the world. When tension, guarding, or imbalance develops in this region, the nervous system often responds by holding patterns that make movement feel restricted or uncomfortable.
The Position of Relief approach works by gently placing the body in positions where strain is reduced and the nervous system can soften its protective response. Rather than forcing change, this method allows muscles to release naturally, giving the body an opportunity to reset and reorganize with greater ease.
In this class, you’ll learn how to apply specific positions of relief for the low back and hips to help calm overactive muscles, reduce discomfort, and support more balanced movement. Through thoughtful positioning, hands-on guidance, and simple integration strategies, the body is encouraged to move out of protective patterns and toward comfort and stability.
This course is ideal for therapists who work with clients experiencing low-back tension, hip discomfort, or movement guarding, and who want gentle yet effective tools that support lasting change without strain.
Why this matters:
Reducing strain allows movement to return more naturally.
