Rolfing Whitefish/Kalispell and Unpredictable Patterns

Working with unpredictable patterns can sometimes prove to be very difficult and even disheartening as a Structural Integrator. The human body is not easily understood but it appears that we can probably depend on a number of predictable variables to help in making decisions about unpredictable patterns. It is important to point out and to understand that the functional symmetric orientation of the pelvis is with both sides either posterior or anterior and the shoulder girdle needs to oppose direction so that we do not fall backwards or forwards. The spine has curvature for a number of important reasons but one of them is to accommodate a posterior pelvic girdle with an anterior shoulder girdle, or an anterior pelvic girdle with a posterior shoulder girdle. In most of the clients I see ( 7 out of 10) The patterns are functional asymmetric which means that one side of the pelvis is posterior and the opposite side shoulder mirrors the pattern, shift and tilt, and because the pelvis can orientate its position because it counter-rotates transversely with the other hip, the other side of the pelvis will, lets say right side, counter rotate the left side of the pelvis with the left side of the shoulder mirroring the right side of the pelvis tilt and shift. This is why as practitioners we see on hip higher or lower and also one shoulder higher or lower. The higher hip is a product of the posterior rotation of the innominate bone, and likewise the lower hip is a product of the anterior innominate. It is often not so much that they are actually changing height they are simply rotating to produce the perceived change. The shoulder girdle is a little different in that the counter-rotation between T1 & T2 produce a rib that is more elevated on the posterior side and a subsequent lower rib on the anterior side. The elevated rib actually raises all structures that are superior to the rib most notably the trapezious muscle and clavicle. This series of rotation and counter-rotation permeates its way throughout the entire structure of the body from the tip of the toes to the top of the head.
