M.Tam Massage Therapy & Structural Inegration

BEFORE

Legs are further apart (the body needs a larger base of support), and ribcage is shifted to the right. Her right shoulder is lower than the left. There is an asymetrical space between elbows and either side of the waist, and hands are hidden from the back view (due to rotation of the arms inward). Fold behind the knee heads downward towards the midline of the body, and the inside of the left foot is contacting the floor.

AFTER

Legs are closer together and ribcage sits more on top of the pelvis. Shoulders are more level and equal in shape, direction and slope from the head. The space between elbows and waist are more symmetrical, and more of the hand and fingers can be seen. The folds behind the knees are more horizontal, and the left arch has a bit more support.

Note 1: To be consistent, the line on the photos on the side is drawn up cutting the middle of the sacrum and coccyx (through the centre of the tailbone). We will always be describing observations from the client’s left and right, not which side they appear on the photo.

Note 2: These photos are a snapshot in time. It is difficult to show a 3D object, in a 2D photo. You will be unable to see the new movement possibilities of the models, hear how they felt differently, or how where they are feeling the change in their body if at all. Many thanks to the models shown for graciously allowing us to view and utilize their before and after photos.
