- How Massage May Complement Mental Health Therapies
[Health-and-Fitness:Mental-Health] "Clients are better able to make cognitive connections in psychotherapy sessions that follow bodywork sessions.

- Massaging Muscles in Their Shortened Positions
[Health-and-Fitness:Massage] Muscles relax when the brain feels safe. The brain has created muscle guarding because this feels like the safest choice. A therapist "agrees" with the brain's choices, when he or she holds a muscle in its shortened position. During shortening, the brain feels its goal has been met, so it can afford to reduce contraction during this time. The therapist's other hand now palpates the same muscle that is being shortened. Applying any level of pressure to the muscle, from the lightest to whatever feels good, will now trigger a melting response--the sensation of pressure reminds the brain to recalculate, and because it feels safe, the guarding is relinquished. This is the first published article on the method, reprinted from the 2002 Massage&Bodywork article (reprinted with permission from both author and magazine), marking the reuniting of this method with the world.
- Treating the Obliquus Muscles During Their Shortening Phases

Three atlanto-axial rotators are covered and occipito-atlantal sidebenders. Both shortened positions and cranially shortening phases are discussed.
