Wow. Just wow. Beside going back to school for more training in 2006, this is absolutely the best investment I’ve made in my business.
Being able to adjust the table height in the fly was utterly incredible; it let me put the client at the perfect height for whatever I was doing to him at that particular moment. I got to use my legs for more power and less for my positioning in relation to a stationary client. My body was much more comfortable as a result and I used less energy to accomplish the same work. So that’s a big win right there.
But it was the mid-split that really made the session outstanding. The front of the table opens up to forty degrees from flat. At around 9 or so degrees, the lower back is put in a mechanically neutral position, and decompresses the lumbar spine. So I started out there for the first part of the session, then increased the angle more and more. I strapped his legs to the table and went all the way open, which took him into a nearly fully inverted position. I could see his back pull apart, and did some deep work that way. Wow, it was incredible to open his back up like that.
All the while he was inverted, his arms were fully supported on the adjustable arm rests, and his head cradled in the sliding head rest, so his neck vertebrae never got compressed at all.
My mind is racing with the possibilities of how to use this incredible tool.
