I learned how to work on the quadratus lumborum at a physcial therapy office, but your info helped me so much more! Never realized all the different directions of the fibers. The spiral motioning to get to the psoas is priceless! Thank you. - MIchelle Daniel, LMT, Florida ... the book is so wonderful for future reference, I'll wear it out! Melanie Grabowske, LMT, Texas I wanted to let you know that your book has changed my practice. I've been practicing physical therapy for 18 years and have always shied away from treating the psoas as it never caused relief for patients in my early career. My very first patient after your course was a young woman who did crew in college. For years she has been poked and prodded and expected the same. She couldn't believe the effects right away. I'm still treating her, but she is continuously improving. Michelle Packowski, PT, Rhode Island As a fitness trainer and massage therapist your instruction was invaluable to me and my clients in your Releasing the Iliopsoas class. I have already begun implementing on some of my low back pain clients with great success! Rod Murray, LMT, New Jersey

Author Information

"Peggy Lamb will tell you she is a massage therapist. She is a massage therapist, but she is so much more than that. She is the author of four books, a creator of 3 DVD instructional sets, a teacher of massage therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists and personal trainers - a leader in her field. When Peggy confronts a problem, she doesn't just solve the problem for herself. She will solve the problem for others, and try to insure that the problem isn't a problem for all her clients. When she tore a rotator cuff, she learned about shoulders, about how they move, how the function, and how they function well. Not only did she completely recover from her injury, she wrote a book ""Releasing the Rotator Cuff"" so other massage therapists can help their clients with shoulder injuries. When faced with a back injury, Peggy worked to recover from that, and recover she did. Not content to just overcome her own injury, she wrote another book ""Releasing the Iliopsoas and Quadratus Lumborum"", with content geared to help others, and other massage therapists, with back problems. Peggy doesn't just fix issues that come up in her life, but she fixes those issues for others. All of this comes from one feeling.....the desire to touch, to heal, and to be touched."
