Vancouver – Rooted Movement: Trunk Techniques for Core and Psoas Balance

Rooted Movement draws from the rich history of Myofascial Bodywork, Structural Bodywork, and Martial Arts, offering unique techniques and perspectives to help your clients explore and change how they hold their center, allowing for ease, balance and efficient, comfortable movement. Rooted Movement Trunk explores the tissues and habits that contribute to or detract from “core stability” in pelvis, spine, and ribcage, with a focus on working with Iliopsoas and Rib Restrictions to balance their relationships with the base of support, the feet.
