Dynamic capacity in the physical body is based on its dynamic capacity in all 3 planes of movement. The 3 normal planes of function in the body are frontal, sagital, and transverse. The body’s many movement potentials are a sum total of the combinations of movements produced in the 3 planes from each segment involved. Like wise the spines 3 primary functions are in these planes and are known as flexion/extension, side bend, and rotation.
Any inhibited or restricted tissue in any plane or any segment shifts the body’s house of cards. Rolfing provides the Certified Rolfer an opportunity to organize the body in gravity in all three planes.
Rolfing and yoga are two parts of a whole that utilize an inquiry of a greater potential. Hydrating, differentiating, and integrating the connective tissue matrix of the body can reduce resistance in the body. Budokon provides technique designed to bring the whole being to a higher level of order through dynamic and integrative movement enabling a more authentic expression.
