What is a Rossiter session like?
Most of the work is done with you, the client, lying on a mat on the floor.
In a Rossiter session, you, the client, are called the Person in Charge (PIC) as only you know the area that is painful. Only you know how much discomfort you can tolerate when doing a stretch. The therapist is called the Coach. The role of the coach is to make sure that you understand what movement is required and that you are encouraged to it to the best of your ability. The better you do the stretch, the quicker you will feel the improvements.
So, you lie on a mat on the floor. The Coach then places their foot on the muscle to be stretched. The coach applies pressure until you, the PIC, says that it is enough. The Coach then asks the PIC assume the "lock position." (This is a posture that helps to enhance the effect of the stretch.) The PIC then performs the stretch for about 10 seconds. The procedure will be repeated with the pressure being increased or the position of the foot maybe slightly altered. Sometimes by slightly shifting the foot, the PIC can feel that the stretch is "right on the spot."
This type of release results in improved mobility and freer movement. Best of all, the pain is gone! The effect of the release is immediate so you can get back to your activity straight away but pain free.
