Hello all, I (Eli) am new to this group and looking forward to
learning and sharing lots...
I am a beginner KMI practitioner (taken the first workshops)
practicing lots of the basic 3-part series. Love the work and so do
my clients.

My latest (haven't started yet) is a middle aged woman who has been
through massive weight fluctuations in her life (5'6" between 115 to
245, now about 160ish?). She seems like a pretty straightforward 3-
part session; however, I am concerned about working through her fat
layers. It almost seems as if the structural tissues organizing her
adipose layers have been overstretched. The fat around her arms,
thighs, and to a lesser extent, waist acts like a half filled
balloon, sloshing around and pooling on the table around her
structurally stable musculature. I'm concerned that doing deep,
broad structural work over these compromised tissues might exaggerate
the problem (i.e. stretch the balloon out even more).
Seeing and working on this kind of tissue has re-awakened an old
concern of doing structural work on the obese. Could this work push
structurally sound fat layers toward this extreme? Might our fat
clients stand straighter but sag a little lower? (Is there net height
gain?) I think the origin of my unease was a picture I saw on the
web of a severely obese woman who jumped out of a window. It seemed
as if the impact completely sheared the structural stability of her
superficial tissues. What I saw was a moderately obese woman lying
within a pool of her own skin/fat. Quite disturbing.... (Hope I'm
not sharing too much)
Any comments would be appreciated, thanks. Eli
