The tissue can be navigated in the three planes of movement and dimension. The Frontal, sagital, and transverse planes are functional movement planes of potentials (x,y,z) that are usually inhibited because of asymmetries in the tissue and structure. The tissue in a similar manner has three primary planes of potential, it can lengthen, rotate, and flatten (x,y,z).
The main goals in the Rolfing third-hour are to address structural relationships that limit the lateral line, Z dimension, and address associated rotations/counter rotations in the arms, legs, and torso. Develop a more balanced relationship between the shoulder girdle and thorax enabling it to move freely on ribcage and in lateral line by addressing the structures that shift the body anterior and posterior.
Differentiate the arms from the scapula and address inspiration/expiration issues and horizontals by resolving the structures that are associated with the primary tilt contributors. The thorax to pelvis relationship of freeing eleventh and twelfth ribs, Q.L. and thoraco lumbar fascia down to L4 must all be addressed in the third-hour. Tractioning on the clients arm while it is extended above their head in sideline exposes the spatial relationships of these segments. Work to further normalize side bends with rotations in the spine and the effect that it has on the ribs.
This is a great opportunity to detail work up each vertebrae addressing side bends with rotations, and drift's of the thorax. The position of the vertebrae dictate's the direction of the drift. The ribs are directly affected by the asymmetry in the spine. The ribs are directly affected and acted upon by the position of the segments above and below one another. Make sure to work the x,y,z planes in the tissue of the IT band lateral line and continue to horizontalize the pelvis.
Address the interosseous membrane of low leg by addressing the x,y,z planes in the tissue and the tibia fibular relationship. Seated back work in flexion and extension, and push reach with pelvic triangle awareness. The back work at MDH should lengthen front and back proportionately. The client should be seated on rami with cued direction of awareness, rolling forward into flexion (yield) and extending up (push). Pelvic lift, general neck work and lift at the sub occipitals to end.
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.
