CLASS

Since we are dividing Chapter 9 into two weeks, let's narrow the focus a little bit for each week.  Next week we will cover Massage and the section on Bioenergetic Healing.  This week, we will cover everything else!  

Let's start with the Structural Bodywork section on Rolfing, Hellerwork, Aston-Patterning and Myofascial Release.  Was anyone familiar with any of these techniques?  Has anyone tried any of these?  If so, share with us your experience, if you'd like!  If not, pick one of these techniques and share what you think the pros and cons might be of this technique.  

Structural Bodyworks, best know in the category are Rolfing, Hellerwork, Aston-patterning, and Myofascial Release. “These approaches seek to enhance body function by addressing chronic muscular tension and imbalance and improving skeletal alignment.” (Larry TrivierI. Jr pg221). Rolfing development of her own technique was created because of herself having diabetes and arthritis. Teacher other her newly developed style was created in the 50 and 60’s.

Rolfing taught to chiropractors and osteopath medicine in the United States, Canada, and Europe before starting the Rolf Institute in 1972.

Rolfing say’s the weaken imbalance system results in compromised body function. “The aim is to restore the alignment, so head, legs, ankles and feet correspond. The body tends to compensate for areas of imbalances or misalignment in one area through adaptive changes in other areas.”(Larry TrivierI. Jr pg221).

By manipulating the fascia, using their fingers, thumbs, and sometimes elbows. Each session is conducted with the client in his or her underwear with no oil.I like the Rolfing technique and would use it in my daily live for the propose to alignment of the spine and to have the blood circulations come back.

Rolfing, more known as Structural Integration. Developed by Ida Rolf, Ph.D. (1896-1979). “Doctorate of biochemistry and physiology, combined with year of study of other bodywork techniques.” (Larry TrivierI. Jr pg221).
