"I'm going to be palming Carrie's back in a nice prayer pose. So help your client into the prayer pose. I'm going to take one foot on the mat, lift the elbow slightly as I ease her down. Now the good thing about palming the back here is that we can do three different stances here to protect us from not over extending. So first, I'm going to be starting in a nice little open diamond pose here. I'm going to start gently palming the lower part of the back and then we'll start moving up so now I come into a kneeling diamond pose, making sure my shoulders do not pass my wrist so I don't hyper extend my wrist. Make sure you're safe. And then to get a little higher on the back, I'm going to come in to a nice Warrior Pose. So start easing at that, palming that upper part of the back. Make sure on either side of the spine never directly pushing on any bones. Start all the way down, so here I come down. Coming up, changing your stance. It's kind of like a dance, surround, the person you're massaging. Give lots of meta, lots of loving kindness."
