Posterior Chain Release: The Core Sequence

The posterior chain — from occiput to calcaneus — is where most neurodivergent clients carry their primary tension load. This lesson teaches the NeuralTouch posterior chain release sequence: a 45-minute protocol that works systematically through superficial fascia from sacrum to skull.

We'll cover hand positioning, pressure calibration, transition timing, and the cues that tell you when a segment has released sufficiently to move on. This sequence is the foundation of every NeuralTouch session.

Sequence Overview

1. Sacral hold — 3-5 minutes
2. Lumbar sweep — bilateral
3. Thoracic cross-hands release
4. Scapular glide
5. Cervical traction and release
6. Cranial hold and integration
