Many thanks to Tom Myers, Nicholas French and Eric Jacobson for their
contributions to "How She Worked", pgs 13-14 of SI Journal March 2009.  I
remember my teachers "worrying" tissues and I caught on to the idea years ago,
but I never before heard a name for working this way.  What an interesting term!
What do you suppose Dr. Rolf was thinking in calling what she did "worrying"?? 
(Actually, it was ME who was worrying whenever I was in her presence.)

Thanks, everyone, for all of the great insight. I have forwarded all
pertinent information to my client, who I assume is forwarding to her
friend. Hopefully this kid will get some new kind of intervention to
help him out. Best, Bevin

I have seen some remarkable results with cranial adjustments done  via a
trained Osteopath or Chiropractor.  Upledger does not get into the  children
as well as some.  Dr. Carole Phillips can be reached via
_www.newdawnpublishing.com_ (http://www.newdawnpublishing.com)  .  I  was
trained by her and
have some remarkable results with infant torticollis and  ear infections.  The
idea is that the brain is being altered by pressures  in the skull and these
presssures need to be released, very, very gently by  someone who is fully
trained in the anatomy of the area.  The assumption is  that the brain,
nervous system is responding to pressure in directing the  muscles to do what
they are doing.   Muscles are merely switches  wrapped in connective tissues.
Switches only do what they are directed to  do....I would seek out someone
who could understand that  approach.

Bevin, I think my post was poorly worded. Your client may find development
movement therapy helpful. There may be some movement patterns that can help the
neurology that is affecting causing the muscular dysfunction. And I remember the
name of the practitoner I took my son to in Seattle. Betty Herman. She used to
be in the Greenwood area.



Like I said, there is a lot of information online about these types of
therapies. Good luck. Brenda

Do you know anything about developmental movement therapy? My son saw a

ton of information online. Good stuff. Brenda

Bevin,

It doesnąt sound like youąve tried any work with the boy and the outcome; my
first thought would be to draw on your own resources.  Subsequent to that,
trying other local practitioners and sampling the nerve work Michael
mentions would certainly be preferable to flying laps to Russia.

Dear Rob

I agree with Michael, and would just add:

The cavus foot and chronic tightness along the lines in the leg can
often have visceral connections, specifically with blood flow to the
affected leg.  So in addition to Don Hazen's work with adverse neural
tension, I would additionally have someone like Jeff Burch or Liz
Gaggini - well-versed in visceral manipulation - have a look at your
boy - especially since you say you can get changes with manual therapy
(as in Russia) but that they don't sustain.

Also, don't forget 'compound essence of time' - some of these
limitations may disappear as your boy gets in contact with other kids
at elementary school - nothing like competition to bring out the best
in young boys!

Good luck
Tom Myers

There are several issues going on here.  One is "can what we do help
him?" and another is the cost.

Since he's been going to PT for so long, I'm wondering what they've
done for him.  Usually traditional PT focuses on evaluation,
strengthening and movement, but not as much hands-on.  Has anyone
looked at birth trauma or neurological issues here (e.g. cerebral
palsy, torticollis, or something else)?  There's a Rolfer and
Chiropractor here in Oakland California that has a theory about long-
term shortness in various areas might be due to nerves being
"tethered" in the myofascia (Don Hazen's Neurology of Posture).  I've
had great success working on such things from this perspective but
your perspective client is very young for this.  Craniosacral might
also be helpful in the short term.  Mostly, I've had little luck
using Rolfing for this sort of client, but if the client can travel
to Russia, what's a trip to Oakland?

The cost is also an issue.  Most SI isn't covered by insurance and so
would have to be out of pocket.  That's a consideration that may
limit how much SI is explored for this little guy.

I doubt that Pharma would see enough profit in it.
But I have a suggestion that works for me

http://www.magnet-therapy-how-why.com/triggerpoint.html
I invite the community to ask questions and share experience on the site.
--
Hans Albert Quistorff, LMP

Friends and Colleagues,

I have been hoping to see appropriate pharmaceutical preparations
developed that support and enhance myofascial manipulation sessions.
For example there is Relaxin, a female hormone secreted by the corpus
luteum that helps soften the cervix and relax the pelvic ligaments in
childbirth.

Why not develop a short-acting time-released version of Relaxin?  A
lot of the hard work of connective tissue manipulation is necessary
because the hard stuff that binds and holds people together is warped
and needs to be changed.  If the 'set' of collagen could be chemically
pre-softened, the practitioner would have a lot less hard work to do
to create somatic transformation.  Structural Integration
practitioners know from simple direct palpation that pregnant people
have soft, easy to change tissue.

Perhaps the pharmaceutical industry would be encouraged to explore
this area if it were pointed out that this kind of 'medication' would
dramatically enhance work with scars.

Anybody out there have connections in the much-maligned but ever-so-
potentially-effective pharmaceutical industry?  It would be easy to
show them that we can create dramatic changes in human structure.
Might they be interested in augmenting our process and procedures?

Colleagues:
We've had a last minute withdrawal and we have one opening in the Guild For
Structural Integration's Spring Kauai Advanced Class.  This class will be
co-taught by Emmett Hutchins and myself from May 2nd - June 12th.  This class
covers a re-examination of the 10 series as well as instruction in the 5
advanced series which Emmett has been teaching for nearly 30 years. If you are a
Rolfer this class will qualify to fulfill your advanced training requirement.

For more information regarding this opportunity you can contact the Guild at:

by phone  303.447.0122
by email  susan@...
	   cristina@...
or visit our website at:  www.rolfguild.org/schedule.html

Because the diaphragm and psoas/psoas minor cross over each other in
their attachment to the spine, I find that imbalance there can
frequently lead to burping and or hiccups.  Weakness there leads to
bracing with the abdominals and perhaps an abrupt kyphosis at the
thoracic lumbar junction.  Release of the abdominal obliques often
leads to coughing up fluid from lower lungs.
I use positional release which dose not require deep palpation.  The
palpation is along the border of the ilium and pubic bone to track the
anatomy train through the iliacus that is substituting for the
internal core muscles.

very interesting,
Thanks for sharing!  I would agree, your client would benefit from speaking with
a professional about this hiccup reaction.
 
It seems this work has given her a 'hiccup' to her normal routine!

Just a SWAG (scientific wild-assed guess), but I think she has some
"major fear issues" accessing her deep core. Touch may not be the
right approach for her right now. I'd go with movement work like
Rolf Movement, Feldencris, or even Pilates and Yoga.

Does she have a psychotherapist she's working with? She should bring
up what's going on in her sessions with her therapist.

Hi everyone,

I recently had a one time, abstract session with a new client (an LMT).  She
complained of some SI/hip discomfort due to a massage session two weeks prior.

I did some preliminary sleeve work to support the pelvis and set the stage for
some core work.  When trying to connect with the hip flexors things became very
intense and hard for her, with a strong fear response.  She described a history
of fear and anxiety / pain with psoas work.  I experimented a bit with using her
hand as the 'tool' to connect.  It was a bit easier and the fear response was
much reduced but still hard.  I don't think we made it past the abdominals and
did not connect directly with the psoas either time.  The session ended well
with good results and she expressed interest in the series.

She called back a week later complaining of daily, long lasting hiccups (30
minutes each time).

Any thoughts about the relationship here?
Thanks
Eli

Dear Friends & Colleagues,

Many of you have expressed interest in the school for Structural
Integration and for the Voice Dialog Process that my partner, Norie
Huddle, and I are creating in south-central Ecuador.

I am writing to give you an update on our project.  First, the
Universe has been very kind to us.  Thanks to our great work team,
we've been able to move forward very rapidly in building the shared
facilities.  Also we've been meeting some wonderful and talented
people who are definitely "resonating at the same frequency"—almost as
if we've been collaborating for years without knowing about each
other.  This has been a great gift.  And finally, after over a year of
searching for "the perfect URL" for our website about our project in
Ecuador, we found it!!  A whole new website has now been created that
you can find at www.gardenofparadise.net.

Please note:  for a short time only we are offering very reduced rates
for a small number of building lots for those of you who are
interested in full or part-time residency in this beautiful part of
Ecuador.  We look forward to hearing from you and arranging a visit to
"paradise"!

My Best,

Richard Wheeler

Hi Jon,

Yes, the mini-projector is great.  About offices, I worked in
Brentwood for years & don't recommend the place.  Too much traffic.
Commercial enterprises took over the ambiance emanating from UCLA.
I recommend you look for an office in Santa Monica.  No massage
license required (SI is exempt from the mass. ordinance there).  No
vice squad intrusion.  Get in touch with Karlis Ullis, MD in Santa
Monica.  Karlis works with Rolfers, actively refers and his office can
handle insurance for you...

After I had been working a few years after my advance class I felt I
knew the recipe pretty well and started testing it.  I did everything
backwards, inside out & broke all the rules & you know what?  It still
worked!  As long as you are systematic about your approach, you'll do
fine.

Dr. Rolf, in one of her lect. demos for the public -done during a
basic class I took in Boulder- broke all the rules she had
emphatically laid out in class.  When asked the next morning (What
The???!!!) she responded that she did what the body needed and that
when we had been working as long as she had, we'd be able to do that
too.  The recipe is a teaching tool.  An alphabet that we make words
with & later on, simple declarative sentences.  The poetry & prose
takes longer.

How long have you been working?  During my advanced class one focus
was on making up one's own series.

I've probably mentioned this before, but the best place in LA to learn
more is the Page Museum.  Become a volunteer and learn from
sabertoothed cats, ground sloths & bison bones.  Comparative anatomy
is where it is at!

Happy New Year,

Richard

This from Alice Billman, Hellerwork Practitioner from  California:

For the past five years, I have maintained a tithing practice  of offering
free bodywork to any of my friends and clients who are undergoing  chemo.  The
"deal" is that they can schedule as often as they wish, for as  long as they
wish, and I work them in.  Some people take a lot of work,  others very little.
I rarely do any serious structural work during these  sessions, as it usually
doesn't feel right for me, or for them.  Most of  the time, I work in a
gentle flowing manner with their tissue, calming the  nerves and the spirit.
That's what I do.  The patients love it, I  love it, and their physicians
approve.

Dear Friends & Colleagues,

A breakthrough in mini-projectors - we're talking the size of a cell
phone - is just now hitting the market.  It's called the MP1, for mini-
projector one.  I got one of the first ones and can say that it's
really a great tool in my work.  (And, hey, I'm the "tool guy",
right?  :-)

The MP1 is LED-based and enables you to project a good quality 6 inch
- 50 inch image on any flat surface for your sessions or your
presentations to small groups.  (You can project even larger images
but the colors & resolution suffer.)

This mini-projector accepts input from digital cameras, computers,
cell phones, iPods, camcorders and more.  It operates without fan
noise or excess heat production, has a re-chargable battery and costs
less than ordinary projectors' replacement bulbs!

I'm excited about how we in the Rolfing community can use the MP1 as a
low-cost tool to show our clients their session results, either by
projecting practically life-sized still images -- or even video images
for motion education and live feedback.

One cool way I've found to use my MP1 is to hook it up to a digital
camera to project a live image on the wall or ceiling.  This way,
clients can see themselves live, in real time, but from a different
angle than a mirror.  This helps them see past their usual body image
to experience themselves from different perspectives.  Imagine being
able to watch your own breathing patterns change during a session
without having to use an overhead mirror!

Another great application is for projecting grids & structured
lighting patterns for session documentation & research.

My partner Norie Huddle & I have imported a limited number of these
projectors.  Because we don't have the usual costs of overhead, our
price is lower than any other retail offering you'll find on the
internet.  3M has just reduced their price to $349 plus tax and
shipping and our price is $330, with us covering tax and shipping.
First come, first served.

Our unit comes with the manufacturer's one-year warranty—and, if
you're not happy with it, just send it back in resalable condition in
the original box within the first 30 days and we'll send you a full
refund.  But we think you'll love it!

I agree, though we had someone this spring in the latter stages of
chemo for breast cancer, and her treatments - usually right after she
had the chemo treatment, before it had a chance to get to her, made
the treatments easier to take.

Of course, whatever work you do needs to be run by the primary care
physician.

Best wishes
Tom

Hi Lucia,

I've only had one client with Leukemia and I didn't take him through
a Rolfing series.  Instead with did CST and it seemed to calm him
down.  We reached this decision based on what he and his MD felt like
he wanted & needed.  He was in the middle of his chemo treatment.
Hope this helps!

Hello all

I had a call from a mother of a 17yr old with Leukemia. He is going through
chemotherapy and is in a lot of muscle pain and discomfort. He has another
year  of this treatment. Does anyone have experience with this?
I don't feel good about si while his body is under so much  stress with these
treatments.
any thoughts?

thanks ahead
Lucia

Dear Friends & Colleagues,

A breakthrough in mini-projectors - we're talking the size of a cell
phone - is just now hitting the market.  It's called the MP1, for mini-
projector one.  I got one of the first ones and can say that it's
really a great tool in my work.  (And, hey, I'm the "tool guy",
right?  :-)

The MP1 is LED-based and enables you to project a good quality 6 inch
- 50 inch image on any flat surface for your sessions or your
presentations to small groups.  (You can project even larger images
but the colors & resolution suffer.)

This mini-projector accepts input from digital cameras, computers,
cell phones, iPods, camcorders and more.  It operates without fan
noise or excess heat production, has a re-chargable battery and costs
less than ordinary projectors' replacement bulbs!

I'm excited about how we in the Rolfing community can use the MP1 as a
low-cost tool to show our clients their session results, either by
projecting practically life-sized still images -- or even video images
for motion education and live feedback.

One cool way I've found to use my MP1 is to hook it up to a digital
camera to project a live image on the wall or ceiling.  This way,
