An investigation into psoas-related trauma
I wanted to share this recent series of posts on my blog Aquapoetics. It recounts an exploration of psoas-related trauma in the water and also on land.
It is actually one article, so reading Parts 1, 2 and 3 in order is probably advisable. When you have time!
I welcome comments on the blog posts themselves or here if you prefer.
Part 1: Personal experience of psoas trauma
Part 2: How aquatic bodywork can help with psoas trauma recovery
Part 3: Some ways of working with the psoas on land and in water
The ideas are presented in a context of inquiry based on my personal experience as someone troubled by psoas issues and likely underlying trauma, and also my professional observations as a massage and movement therapist with a special interest in aquatic bodywork.
They are intended to stimulate exchange rather than to suggest definitive methods for working with someone who has psoas-related trauma.

Other thought: to provide another opportunity nearby for the car…
