TESTIMONIALS No. 21: Ms. Ayako Kakizaki’s Ten-Session Experience — I Can Grasp the Blockages and Stagnations Within My Body for Myself

1. Problems felt before receiving Rolfing (e.g., stiff shoulders, low-back pain):

  • Low-back pain.
  • Being swayed by others, so that my own axis wavered.
  • Even while noticing that my personal axis was wavering, leaving myself to be swayed.

2. What was resolved (or noticed) after receiving the ten sessions of Rolfing:

  • Improvement of low-back pain.
  • The breath passes through well; I no longer breathe in a forced way that raises the shoulders.
  • When breathing, I can feel the expansion of the back (I can hold awareness of my own back side).
  • Whether in everyday life or when taking yoga asanas, I have become able to make a point of observing the body in fine detail.
  • In linkage with my inner aspects, I can grasp the blockages and stagnations within my body for myself.

3. The kind of person this Rolfing work would be recommended to:

  • Someone who wants to experience the wonder of the body.
  • Someone who does yoga.
  • Someone who wants to feel their own axis.
  • Someone who wants to take a pleasant walk.
  • Someone with pain somewhere.
  • Someone who wants to taste a sensation different from the body so far.
  • Someone who keeps receiving massage but finds it unsatisfying.
