Sam introduces you to the pitfalls of client positioning on standard massage tables and offers some advice on proper positioning.
INTRODUCTION TO PEAK POSITIONING
Applying Peak Positioning involves using your observational and palpation skills to identify areas of tension or holding which require PEAK support. This process is a mindful approach which gives the practitioner important information about the client and encourages the client to develop a greater awareness of their body and their own tendency to hold or maintain positions which create more tension. This first video covers theory of positioning, reviews 4 treatment positions and examines postural variations of the feet, pelvis and lower back, thoracic and cervical spine.

ABOUT PEAK POSITIONING
Applying Peak Positioning involves using your observational and palpation skills to identify areas of tension or holding which require PEAK support. This process is a mindful approach which gives the practitioner important information about the client and encourages the client to develop a greater awareness of their body and their own tendency to hold or maintain positions/postures which create more tension. There are many causes of postural variations and muscular-skeletal tension. Some are congenital, others may be due to an accident or injury, still others may be caused by repetitive use of certain muscles, poor positioning and many are the result of cumulative physical and emotional stress. Bringing a client’s awareness to the difference between patterns of tension and areas where they are unconsciously holding and a more relaxed and open posture can have enormous benefits. Most clients will experience this as a time of relaxation and connection. Clients feel more secure and more connected to their bodies when they are positioned for optimal support.
