Techniques & positions

The seated position

How seated work fits into a session or a teaching sequence.

What the name means

Seated work means the recipient is upright. It may appear in a lesson or in a focused appointment, but the service should explain what it includes rather than relying on the label.

Check support and balance

Discuss whether a chair or floor seat is more comfortable and whether additional support is needed. You should not feel responsible for holding an uncomfortable position to make a technique possible.

Watch the transitions

In a lesson, observe how the teacher prepares the move into and out of sitting, checks stability and asks permission before contact. Good communication is part of the technique, not an optional introduction.

What belongs in a course

Assisted stretching and neck or shoulder work need individual assessment and hands-on supervision. This guide does not provide a manipulation sequence. Ask a qualified teacher to observe and correct your practice.
