Introduction

Since June 2015, I have offered Rolfing sessions. Approaching the fascia brings the posture into order, and the movement of the body improves along with it.

Sachiko Aimoto, the freelance announcer who took part this time, had muscle soreness from strength training, mostly around the shoulders, and that was what she wanted to address. What caught my own attention, though, was the pelvis. I could see that it did not sit in balance between left and right (see BEFORE in the photograph above).

What Changed Between BEFORE and AFTER

So, with the pelvis as the aim, I worked mainly around the abdominal muscles of the trunk, the gluteals, the shoulders, and the elbows. It also became clear that the pelvis, which joins the upper body to the lower, was not well connected, so I worked as well with the quadratus lumborum, which is often behind low-back pain, along with the multifidus of the spine and the latissimus dorsi. Gradually the pelvis began to move.

In the end, left and right came into balance at the pelvis, and with that as a foundation the balance of the shoulders improved as well. The day after the session, she said: “My body is light again this morning!”
