Rolfing Texas Ten Series-Movement 2

The

attention to detail can be observed and deeply felt with the second Rolf Movement

session. Integrating the spine, pelvis, and legs are the goals of this Rolfing

session. Begin by having the client on hands and knees.

The

integration of the pelvic girdle and spine is palpable when the articulation of

the spinal complex transmissions smoothly from the sacrum to the mid dorsal

hinge. With client on the floor, on hands and knees, and the practitioners

thumbs are into the laminar groove from L5 to L1 the client can begin to

articulate the micro movements of the spine. While forced exhalation engages

transverse abdominus, movement happens when that forced exhalation and lumbar

flexion is meet with resistance by pushing on T.P's. while client resists and

pushes back. This will activate core stability and should be repeated several

times for L5-L1.

The core

stability is what we are ultimately looking for. The body responds to pain by

drawing up and in, using tonic and phasic tissues to stabilize the area. These

movement exercises are cultivating a new nervous system potential that is using

only what is necessary to stabilize.

The client

can lye supine on table with their feet at a 90 degree angle onto a wall or

some thing of the like, bringing awareness to the four corners of their feet as

well as the whole plantar surface. Awareness of shifts in sensation should be

involved all the way up to the sacrum while alternating pressure through the

foot in a guided sensory experience. This movement exercise takes the client

out of gravity and on their back; this positioning is part of what makes this

so profound to the process. The alternating of pressure continues cultivating

contra-lateral potentials.

The client

can come to standing and walk through gait cycle assessing movement at MDH and

how that transmissions up and down to both or neither girdle. The final tool in

attempting integration of the legs and pelvis is known as ocular decoupling of

limbs of support and is experienced by the client supine while following the

range of movement of femur in hip with their peripheral vision. This movement

exercise is known to release bound energetic potential in the pelvis and enable

a more fluid gait cycle.

When the

client stands a new felt sense of integration typically emerges as they walk.

The psoas extension and associated toe hinge is usually observed as the client

explores the new freedom of contra lateral expression.

 This is a great place to end the

session. The Certified Rolfing Ten Series has the ability to reduce pain and

release tension in the connective and myofascial tissue of the body associated

with TMJ, CTS, RLS, Fibromyalgia, Sciatica, Fascitis, Bunions, Scoliosis, and

Cerebral Palsy. Fascial asymmetries can cause foot, leg, knee, hip, back,

shoulder, neck, arm, hand, and head pain; integration therapy is necessary.

Orthopedic, Chiropractic, Physical, and Massage Therapist recognize Rolfing and

Rolf Movement as premium pain management utilizing Structural, Functional, and

Postural Integration. . Bioceuticals are an alternative,natural and non-toxic method of
