I am so happy to see this list! I just joined the group and notice
that there has been moderate activity in the past. I am hoping that
the activity picks up as I would truly love to learn from other
bodyworkers and share my experiences whenever they may be useful. I
have been a certified neuromuscular therapist for several years, but
am only now beginning to focus my practice on NMT once again. After
several years doing massage and skin care in "day spas" I have begun
studying St.John's NMT and am reading one of Ida Rolfs books. I have
my own practice now and wish to expand my knowledge of the more
clinical approach and refresh what I have learned in the past.
I received the full series of ten Rolfing sessions many years ago in
the Boulder school and have had other "advanced" Rolfing sessions
since. I would love to know if anyone is willing to share the sequence
in which the series of ten treatments is performed. I think the last
session is the one they attempt the septum and I think the second to
last is the feet--although it's been at least twenty years ago since I
experienced it. I would love any info anyone may have on the series
and any elaboration you may wish to share.

There are many good schools that offer that kind of

to those that had to pay for it.
