Empowerment Rolfing

Can a person get taller and more vital at 71 years old? This client of mine is pretty spry and does not show his age but is struggling against a forward postural habit that has slowly closed his front line over the years, pulling his head and shoulders forward and rounding his spine. Today he was happy to get almost 2 cm of his old height back!

The lower mark in the picture is after our 4th session in August, after we both noticed he had already shifted perceptibly upwards.

This afternoon was our 6th session. After some careful indirect and decompression work freeing structures deep in the thorax around heart and lungs, he stood up and we were both immediately struck that he had again gained some more height in addition to moving more freely.

Even after many decades, soft tissue remains amazingly adaptable. Sometimes it just needs the right encouragement! Very exciting to see the deeper anatomical understanding I gained recently in Colorado already manifesting clear benefits for my clients.

This week I am back from a class in Colorado and appreciating the exceptional men and women with great, persistant curiosities who have enriched my life and countless others beyond belief. I'm proud and humbled to be able to bring this work to the people of Calgary, and grateful for the amazing Rolfing community I have to learn from.

How can we improve quality of life through fascial manipulation and body education? I will be talking to people and giving away free 10-20 minute Rolfing Sessions at the PineRidge Community Association on September 7th. If you're in Calgary come check out the market and say hi! Or tell a friend or loved one if they have body, movement, or pain issues and they can get a bit of free work and maybe learn something about their body in the process! This is a great opportunity to experience this powerful fascia focused therapy for yourself or to help someone you love.
