Posture & Gait
Much of our chronic pain comes from how we hold ourselves and move throughout the day. The problem is, most parents don't model good alignment or how to move well and we as children develop poor moving habits while standing, walking and sit. Throughout a Traditional Rolf® Method 10 Series, you will learn how
Structural Alignment
Posture
Of all the risk factors contributing to chronic pain, posture and gait are the leaders. People who move and stand with good alignment are less at risk for having chronic pain.
Understanding structural alignment is the foundation for creating good movement habits. This workshop will give you guidelines for being in alignment with every move you make.
Gait
Modern Human structure evolved over millions of years to walk far and wide to hunt and gather enough food to stay alive. In just the last 10,000 years since we discovered farming, we went from being the best walkers to the absolute worst walkers in all of human history.
We now move way less than any of our ancestors and we have unprecedented chronic pain. I think, sometime, long, long ago, teaching children how to walk well fell off the list of essential teachings.
This workshop will begin to fill in the gait gaps.
