It releases the body’s segments – legs, torso, arms etc. – from life-long patterns of tension and bracing, and permits gravity to re-align them. By so doing it brings the body more into balance. In the body the connective tissue network, known as the Myofascial system is “the organ of structure.” It supports the skeleton and soft tissues, positions the bones, determines the muscle composition and the direction of movement, giving the body its shape. Accidents, physical injuries, physically demanding work, emotional impacts including social and cultural conditioning, can influence holding patterns within the body, and as a result the structure can become misaligned. Gravity is among the most powerful of all forces affecting the human body. Body misalignment in gravity results in chronic strain, lowered vitality and impaired biological and psychological functioning. Because Rolfing is a Wholistic technique, it is recognised that changes in structure will impact upon the whole person, physically, emotionally, and energetically.
