The Rolfing
Fourth-hour is a session of Support and Palintonicity (4-5-6). Transmission and
support are goals for the client that is running concurrently in sessions four
and six. By the Ten Series fourth session the sleeve should be at ease so that
a deeper layer can be affected. 

Support is
vital in the structure and should be resourceful after this session. Support
from the second and third hour should be observable, so going into a third
opportunity of working with the feet is optimal. With the lateral line
established we can further the bi-Lateral and pre-vertebral support initiated
in the second hour by working the internal midline including pelvic floor. Work
to resolve tilt and shift in the pelvic girdle by addressing the primary
contributors in the midline.

 

The main
Rolfing goals are to lengthen the midline and to initiate support of the legs
through the pelvis by releasing lines of tension at the ramus of ischium,
perineum and peritoneal cavity, thereby effecting pelvic floor. By de-rotating
the tissue of the femur it is possible to normalize and balance this segment at
the pelvis. The fascia of the rami of the pelvis must also be addressed to
normalize the fascia of the femur. Horizontals at knees and ankles could be
resolved by the end of this session.

 

The
direction of correction switch’s between most segments and must be understood
and observed for the palintonic line to emerge. It should include
differentiating the peronials from gastroc/soleus and quadriceps from adductors
for hip extension. The sacro-tuberous ligament extending off of hamstring
attachment on both sides of the coccyx will be addressed to create space for
the sacrum to breathe. Continue to work the primary contributors to shift in
the pelvic girdle. The back work will further consider side bends with rotations
and develop the integration of the pelvis/spinal relationship in seated work by
working LDH and trapezius.

 

The first
half of a two-part indirect diaphragm release can be done in this session and
completed in session five so that potential in core by breath can emerge. This
release is done with the client on their side and practitioner’s hands gamma
contacting pelvic and respiratory diaphragms with awareness on breath cycle.

 

Head and
neck work will be general in the compartment where lines of tension manifests
from first rib, enabling continuity and congruence in thoracic inlet. A Pelvic
lift will finish. ” Pay special attention to the Adductor Magnus, this is
as much a hamstring as it is an adductor.” -IPR.

 

The
Certified Rolfing Ten Series has the potential 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.
