“Some individuals may perceive their losing fight with gravity as a sharp pain in their back, others as the unflattering contour of their body, others as constant fatigue, yet others as an unrelentingly threatening environment. Those over forty may call it old age. And yet all these signals may be pointing to a single problem so prominent in their own structure, as well as others, that it has been ignored: they are off balance, they are at war with gravity.”
Rolfers® Are Educators.
Our work is the inquiry and study into the physical experience of balance and being human beings
Through the process of the Rolfing® Ten Series ( 10 weeks consisting of 10 total 90 minute sessions of meticulous manual therapy- 1 session each week) the client will learn many ways in which their human body is inherently designed to move balance and strengthen; I, Amber, your Certified Advanced Rolfer®, will introduce full body coordinations of movement and articulation while walking, how the movement of the breath moves through the paths of the limbs and trunk, and educate you on how the body can stabilize itself with the support of gravity using deep tonal muscles rather than over-exerting smaller muscles during any given activity. Let gravity assist you rather than impede you! Just as our logo depicts, the client’s body will be reviewed in a series of geometric models of seeing, highlight geometrical compensations within each segment, then each Rolfing® session will be designed to change the relationship of those compensations and counterbalances to allow the body to find more of a central line of balance. When a body can balance 3-dimesionally around a central axis it has better integrity, balance and structural support, the body experiences less pain, better coordination and more fluid movement.
What is the position your body is living in space? Where are its opportunities for shift and change? What activation is being skipped over during routine movement? What compensations didn’t fully come back online after an injury? What antagonistic muscular relationships are running into each other rather than fluidly opposing each other?
