Your core isn’t just muscles. It’s pressure.
Your spine stays upright because of how you breathe and how your ribs sit over your pelvis.
Diaphragm on top. Pelvic floor on bottom. Belly wraps the sides.
That’s the system.
When those parts stack and move together, pressure builds inside you—like an internal support column. Your spine loves that. Less gripping. More stability. Happier discs.
When posture’s off—rib flare, tucked or dumped pelvis—pressure leaks.
Now your back, hips, and neck are working way too hard. That’s when pain and fatigue creep in.
This is why posture work starts immediately in Rolfing®.
In session one, we usually begin by working with:
• the diaphragm
• the sides of the hips
• the hamstrings
• the front of the chest
Those areas set the foundation. Once pressure can move and distribute better, posture starts changing without forcing it.
Posture without breath is half the story.
Breath without posture is half the story.
Standing, walking, lifting, living—it all runs on this pressure system.
This is the kind of work we do in Rolfing®—not correcting you, but helping your body support itself better.
