It’s one thing to look at static posture, it’s another thing to look at movement as movement is a representation of life. No movement, no life. These photos shared by Dr. Rolf in her book on Rolfing illustrate the changes made from 10 sessions with a client, not just in alignment with some center line but an ease that can be seen in having a less strained relationship with gravity. Less effort to live and walk.
Rolfing is more than simply fascial manipulation, it is work on relationships via the whole person in an environment. No part of our structure exists in isolation.

“If you can imagine how it feels to live in a fluid, light-balanced body, free of pain, stiffness and chronic stress, at ease with itself and the earth’s gravitational field; then you will understand the goals of Rolfing”.

Feeling full circle today leading a massage CE class at the Technical College of the Lowcountry in Beaufort where I grew up and where I stared massage school 20 years ago. Denise Van Nostran is still running the show and I can remember my initial conversation with her about joining the program, taking me from handling boxes at UPS to a wide world of bodywork. I always wondered if she had any class photos from 2006-2007 and was surprised to see this sitting on the book shelf, a 19 year old Noel.

“Phoros (-φόρος) is an Ancient Greek term meaning “bearing,” “carrying,” or “producing,” derived from the verb phérein (to bear/carry). It commonly functions as a suffix (-phorus, -phore) in English to denote a bearer or carrier of a specific thing”

In terms of movement “phoricity” may be considered a type of activity where you move as if you’re carrying a sense of HERE and THERE simultaneously to establish a stronger connection between your axis and your activity.

I’ve been recently intrigued by this concept, despite it’s vagueness, and gradually trying t employ more opportunities for embodying it because it does feel as though I am more connected to my activity and can maintain a longer/more adaptable spine. We’ll see what fun is exercised come up.

A little review of some ways your pelvis can move and have positional preferences or fixations. It’s not just anterior and posterior tilt around the tailbone. It also includes the relationship between your left and right innominate bones, which have some fun and not so fun ways of moving.

Torsion
Flare
and Shears or Slips

are ways in which these bones can get stuck and just some simple mechanics with patience can help coax them back home.

Here’s a quick exercise I picked up that helps mimic reverse hyperextensions done at the gym. Usually prescribed for lower back weakness/pain this exercise helps to strengthen the glutes, hams, and lower back muscles while allowing for a decent range of flexion and extension. Enjoy!

Congrats to the Rolf Institute’s recent graduating class! Welcoming many more great Rolfers.

Some heart warming feedback from assisting Phase III at the Rolf Institute these past couple of months. Also was presented with a pretty epic gift from the class. Inspired to keep working on my own lumbar curve ; )

The Story

The only constant is change. Though we may agree with this truth we often find ourselves resisting change in both our minds and bodies which are inherently tied in with our parts of ourselves. Resistance develops through such things as injury, habits, beliefs, norms, models, and other forms of behavioral and environmental adaptations. I was enlightened to these challenges early on and found the capacity to alter my resistance through practices focused on promoting movement and mindfulness. Initially this started as a teenager with martial arts, weightlifting, and meditation. Practices which shifted my perspective on my life’s potential and opened up paths towards other practices such as massage therapy, yoga therapy, and structural integration.​

There’s been a long time of me wearing many different hats in health and wellness starting with personal training in 2005, adding on massage therapy in 2007, and wearing the hat of yoga instructor starting in 2013. In 2016 I decided to consolidate my hats into one by diving headfirst into my practice in 2016 after becoming a Certified Rolfer. This practice has given me the space and freedom to utilize a wide variety of skills and experience while wearing just one outfit. As that outfit became more adaptable I began to truly appreciate the holistic effects of what we do in the business of health promotion. This awareness continues to lead me towards further training and education.

With each year that passes and each human being that I help there is so much palpable change in both my visitors as well as myself. My purpose is to help continue sharing the benefits of structural integration and movement based therapies. I believe this requires being always open to shifting my own perspective on how to help support optimal movement, radiant health, and purpose driven lives.

​Though are many valuable questions to ask in regards to making healthy changes I invite you to consider just a few:
