Rolfing Texas Ten Series-Session 6

This Rolfing session will complete the leg work of 2-4-6 of support, and complete pelvic work of 4-5-6 of transmission. The support was initiated in the second hour and cyclically returns bi-session as a focus and goal. Transmission is viewed as a session-to-session goal and focus when we are finished opening the sleeve.

The potentials initiated in each and every session up to session six have been preparing the body to differentiate making more space and integrate the space in motion. When looking at the back of the body it is important to recognize the posterior reflections of the fifth hour anterior work. The drift's in the tissue flow in the transverse plane or x-axis and thus are a rotational issue in the asymmetry of the thorax.

"Adaptive capacity at the hips precedes order in the spine. Organization in the core and sleeve precedes order in the spine. Order in Axial complex precedes order in the head." The main goals are to balance the pelvic girdle by organizing legs and intra pelvic structures, and free the sacrum and the spine from any remaining drift's and rotations in posterior soft tissue. Establish horizontals in the legs by working the lines of tension to resolve rotations and counter rotations in posterior leg segments.

The primary tilter's and shifter's are different from left to right side so special attention should be given to working the asymmetry in a way that is congruent. This session literally travel's from the plantar fascia all the way up superficial back line over the calcaneous, gastroc, soleus, knee, hamstrings, rotators, sacro-tuberous and sacrospinous ligaments. When observing the posterior axial fascia, side bends with rotations are to be worked in the direction of correction so that the organization in the whole structure from toe to head can emerge. Neck work should be with client supine for mobility and translation in flexion/extension.

Rolfing addresses the osseous components in the neck by affecting the direction of the tissue in translation; Chiropractic deals with translating the bone with high velocity manipulation, leaving the tissue unaddressed. Seated work is assisted movement through all three functional planes depending on the amount of integration that has occurred thus far so G or G' tendency should be obvious and observed. A deep felt sense of verticality and support are usually experienced when this session is concluded. Pelvic lift or pull will end sixth-hour 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 effectively addressing health and wellness through the lense of Bioceutical nutrition.
