Once a client has built up onto their knees/elbow or higher our techniques have to change significantly, but don't panic we are still dominant positionally. We are now looking to place more weight on the shoulders/upper back to prevent them from building up to a standing position.

We are establishing "chest to back" connection so we can

1) Prevent the client from being able to take their arms off the ground and stand, and

2) Establish direct rotational control so that the client cannot turn and face us. We are still behind the client and we want to keep it that way.
