Support, Mobility, Release – The lower back is central to our sense of support and stability, yet it is also an area that can become easily overburdened. Long hours of sitting, stress, repetitive movements, or injury can contribute to pain and stiffness. Thai Massage offers a dynamic, whole-body approach to working with lower back discomfort, addressing not just the site of pain but the wider patterns of tension and restriction that often surround it.

In this workshop, we will explore rhythmic, rocking, and oscillatory techniques that support the lumbar region by encouraging movement, decompression, and nervous system regulation. You’ll learn how to work with fascia, joints, and soft tissues in ways that gently release holding patterns and restore a sense of integration and ease through the lower body.

We will work on:

• Using rhythmic and oscillatory movements to decompress and mobilise the lower back
• Techniques to release tension in the hips, pelvis, abdomen, and legs – key areas that influence lumbar health
• Creating space and traction through gentle rocking and dynamic stretching
• Understanding how to approach back pain in a safe, responsive, and trauma-informed way
• Exploring the energetic and emotional dimensions of the lower back, including themes of support, fear, and vitality
