Palintonicity is one of the 5 principles of Rolfing.

Earlier I discussed Wholism.

Palintonicity in Rolfing seeks to create span and expansion in all the various planes of your body. From the base of your feet to the very top of your head.

In the sagittal plane (Front/Back) Rolfing seeks to find balance between your front and your back. We want to make sure neither one is more dominant than the other, or one more collapsed or rigid than the other. We want equal span for both.

With the frontal plane (Left/Right) we are looking to create equal span and expansion on both sides of your body.

The transverse plane is more about rotation. This is where we want to find the natural torque, spiral and undulation of your body in walking. We want all of this to happen around the vertical line of your body. This is often referred to as contralateral movement.

Palintonicity seeks balance in all dimensions of your body. Where your body feels whole and integrated, rather than disorganized and disconnected.

This principle, in tandem with others, helps bring your body back into structural alignment. Here you can become pain free, be more at home in your body, and feel at peace.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to do a Rolfing demo for a group of psychotherapists at Mindful Springs Counseling here in Seattle.

What a wonderful group!

It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase the effectiveness of Rolfing and how it has evolved over its 50 plus years of existence.

The person I was working on, and all those who attended left with a better understanding of how Rolfing can help you become pain free, become more at home in your body, and feel more at peace.

If you know of any wellness, healing and or movement groups who would be interested in having me come in and give a demo, please let me know!

More people deserve to know about the benefits of Rolfing.
