4.1 Arm restraint in shibari: behind, in front, and overhead

Estimated reading time: 29 minutes.

A study of arm restraint behind, in front, and overhead based on the anatomy of the shoulder, so that it can be performed with stability and safety in any form.

4.1.1 Anatomy

Immobilizing the arms not only limits what the upper trunk can do; it also changes the overall posture of the body and affects breathing, balance, and the perception of control.

Estimated reading time: 10 minutes.

ACCEDER: 4.1.1 Anatomy

4.1.2 Arms behind the back

Bringing the arms behind the back is one of the most efficient forms of anatomical restriction.

Estimated reading time: 10 minutes.

ACCEDER: 4.1.2 Arms behind the back

4.1.3 Hands in front

There are times when restrictions with the hands behind the body can be difficult or even impossible. People who are not comfortable with shibari or do not trust their bodies often accept ties in front because they consider them safer, more comfortable, or more accessible.

Estimated reading time: 5 minutes.

ACCEDER: 4.1.3 Hands in front

4.1.4 Arms raised overhead

Restriction with the arms raised overhead is very common and rarely well executed. We study the sequence of movements and the scapulohumeral rhythm needed to perform it and hold it safely, bearing in mind that not every body has enough mobility.

Estimated reading time: 6 minutes.
