Better than 90% of the brain's output is directed towards maintaining your body in its gravitational field. Therefore, the less energy one spends on one's posture, the more energy is available for healing, digestion, and thinking.

Roger W. Sperry, Nobel laureate, 1981

POSTURE & ADAPTATION

Repetitive activities such as work or sport
create dysfunctional movement and structural patterns.
Examples: computer/office workers, runners, musicians,
dancers, postal carriers, football players, taxi drivers, etc.

•

Emotional and psychological stress affect the body
as patterns of held tension, restrictions to free movement, etc.
Examples: hunching of the shoulders,
restriction of breathing, teeth grinding

•

Injury and illness create residual scar tissue and adhesions,
resulting in chronic postural adaptations to pain.
Examples: surgery, fractures, disease

•

Chronic poor body use, stressing and warping of the physical structure.
Examples: improper weight lifting, bad postural habits

Ideally, the body is
brought into greater
alignment through a
series of 10 Rolfing
sessions.
