Rolfing Ft Worth/Dallas-Session 2
The first session is a beautiful way to introduce the work to the body. It cultivates a deeper
awareness of what is really happening, it is a place of adaptability & inquiry. An awareness of
more support is palpable going into the second session. The coded description of the work is
Second hour: support/palintonicity (2-3-4) bilateral support. "The feet and lower legs are critical;
you must have support for the parts above. Even more critical is the ankle and the way those
joints fit into each other."-IPR.
Assess lower legs & the arches of the feet. The main goals are to create support for the pelvis
with structures above it and lengthening the back. To create support we look at the spring of the
arches in the foot and how the weight is transmitted through the foot. Rotations in talus &
calcaneous balance or inhibit the structure from aligning based on rotation/counter rotations and
horizontal hinges at knees, ankles, and toes. Counter rotations between agreeable segments of
the carpal or metacarpal bones deepen an imbalance in the body above. Work towards resolving
asymmetries in low leg & knee. This is great opportunity to work in a way that brings relief for
plantar fascitis and bunions, two different dysfunctions that cause leg and foot pain.
After working plantar fascia, and retinaculum, test how the fibula responds in dorsiflexion via
interosseous membrane, working to resolve rotations & counter rotations between segments of
the feet and low legs. Free up restricted drifts in the tissue so that the legs & feet can
differentiate & integrate. Dr. Rolf called this the body geometry or the natural organizing effect
based upon the structures balance & alignment in the vertical gravitational field.
The back needs lengthening and releasing of the erectors of the back, moving up & in at the
wide portions & down & away where the tissue is narrow. Work with flat spots & side bends with
their associated rotations to integrate the support and palintonicity above the supported pelvis.
It's great for the client to connect through the feet while seated, exploring the relationship of the
eye of the foot.
An exploration with down/up is always a profitable movement in the second session resourcing.
Rolf yoga works well with integrating the second hour work. This exercise mimic's the movement
of the foot in gait. For the neck, work the cervical tissue in the direction of correction. Slow
melting amounts of pressure can be given with the client seated and work with elbows into the
clients traps. With client supine, place fingers in sub-occipitals, lengthening into posterior portion.
If there is time some standing tracking before finishing is great. Pelvic lift or pull should be
considered when ending.

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, and Scoliosis. 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.
