Summary and Additional Back Crossovers (EP 6, page 16) – very helpful for spinal curvature, scoliosis, twist in the hips and shoulders
For tight and uneven shoulder height, pain or restriction at trapezius / latissimus dorsi overlap (EP2, page 7):
- Levator Scapula (Modules 1&2, page 22) X Inferior Lat Dorsi (Module 4, page 9)
For tightness and cramp in the hips, restricted lateral flexion and / or rotation; difficulty reaching across the body when bending forward (EP3, page 8):
- Superior Lat Dorsi (Module 4, page 9) X Piriformis (Module 5, page 14)
For upper back cramp and upper back pain; unable to straighten up and lack of movement in lifting arms; difficulty taking a deep breath, mid-back restriction and rib tightness (EP3, page 9):
- Superior Lat Dorsi (Module 4, page 9) X Lats-Traps (EP3, page 9)
EP 4 Combinations to allow access to address pain, where pain radiates outwards from a central area, contributing to restricted flexion and rotation and lower back compression:
- QL Point (Modules 1&2, page 11)
- Superior Lat Dorsi (Module 4, page 9)
- Levator Scapula (Modules 1&2, page 22)
- SI Joint (EP3, page 6)
Use crossovers below as indicated
Where pain radiates centrally around the QL area:
- Lat Dorsi (Module 4, page 9) X QL (Modules 1&2, page 11)
Where pain radiates down into the sacral area:
- Lat dorsi (Module 4, page 9) X SI Joint (EP3, page 6)
Where pain radiates up into the upper back:
- Lev Scap (Modules 1&2, page 22) X SI Joint (EP3, page 6)
The following is also found in EP 6, page 16). It is a long back crossover to stretch out between the points; to release tension along the TFL, to take pressure off the SI Joint; to take pressure off the shoulders. This is also good prep for SI Joint releases (EP5, page 6):
- Superior Lat Dorsi (Module 4, page 9) X Mid ITB Point (Module 3, page 8)
