Under the skin lies fascia, a complex network of connective tissue that encases and links every muscle, joint, organ, and nerve.

Modern fascia research supports what Dr. Ida Rolf observed decades ago: fascia isn’t inert. It helps transmit force, support posture, and influence movement and balance.

Rolfing® practitioners use gentle, precise manipulation to help free fascial restrictions and restore the body’s flow.

Better fascia = better balance, function, and ease in gravity.

Last week I had another great course with the Barral Institute New Zealand. Often I spend some time reflecting on the newly learned skills and approach, and on how this fits into Structural Integration.

These courses add another layer of depth to these sessions, it gives me more tools to assess and evaluate. It helps me to understand and bring into my sessions the relationships between the different systems, musculoskeletal, visceral and nervous systems. All contributing to achieving better outcomes for my clients.

There are many reasons for people to come for Structural Integration sessions. Some come to seek relief from persistent pain, or to be able to move more freely and fluidly. Others are looking to understand themselves and the way they are compensating and responding to previous injuries or trauma.

What is your reason? Would you like to find out more?

Later this week sees another trip into Christchurch for more training with Barral Institute New Zealand. This time the focus is going to be on assessment and evaluation. A deep dive in the where and what of a session. You can have all the techniques in the world, but knowing where to apply and what tissue system to target is what creates a successful session.

The diaphragm is one of those important structures that influence our breath, but also how we hold ourselves.
