@fixingpain: Grounding a guarded client starts with something simple — breath. @Alina Bravo 🇨🇱🇩🇪 When someone can't stop bracing, holding themselves up, or fighting the table, I pause and place my hand on their shoulder, hip, chest, or back. Then I walk them through a few slow, intentional breaths — in nice and slow, hold at the top, out nice and slow, hold empty for a second or two. Two or three rounds of that and you can feel the whole nervous system downshift. That's not just relaxation — that's a parasympathetic reset. And it changes everything about how the session goes from that point on. The body can't receive work it's busy defending against. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do before you start is help your client feel safe enough to let go. #massagetherapy #parasympatheticnervoussystem #breathwork #softtissuetherapy #manualtherapy
