Session 8: Balance and Being in the Present
Connecting the Body: The essence of Rolfing begins with the very last thing we do in session 10. Your body/life begins a new sense of balance and alignment
Chest and Shoulders: the first session focuses on ribs, shoulders, and abdominal muscles. The session introduces the idea of breathing into areas of the body to help release tensions.
Abdomen: Opens and lengthens the rest of the front body. Covers hips to chest and deeper work including the front of the neck. Clients who tend to slump forward at the shoulders or hips, find this to be a primary session that helps.
The Inner Legs: Works on legs for a deeper run and focus on lengthening the inner line of the legs from ankle to pelvic floor.
The Extensor Muscles: The session with the largest territory. Covers the entire back body from heels to neck. Opens the backs of the legs, eases issues with spinal curves and brings the body into a better balance.
