Rolfing Whitefish/Kalispell-Understanding the Unpredictable

The unpredictable dysfunctional asymmetries can seem daunting and believe me they are at times but once we understand what is functionally symmetric, functionally asymmetric, and now the dysfunctional asymmetric it becomes a fruitful challenge to explore the necessary combinations of tilt, shift and rotations to attempt to normalize the tissue so that the client can move freely with less or ideally no pain. With the functionally asymmetric it is easier to navigate what is necessary because changing shift and tilt can be initiated as the product of the same technique, but for now understanding that lengthening some, fluffing some, and de-rotating a little to see what has changed is what is important. With the dysfunctional asymmetric the lengthening happens on one side of the segment and then the fluffing happens on the opposite side of the segment. It is important to identify what the functional symmetric orientation is of the pelvis so that you know what to fluff more than lengthen and what to lengthen more than fluff. If the client appears to be more naturally posterior then keep the posterior side of the pelvis posterior and change the posterior shift to anterior shift on that side, but on the anterior side of the pelvis you will need to keep the anterior shift and focus more on changing the tilt to posterior shift so that the dysfunction is reduced to a functional asymmetric. Then the goal will change to systematically navigate reducing the asymmetry to a functional asymmetry. This is necessary to accomplish because it is an ordered array of dysfunctions that must be addressed categorically in terms of order to systematically reduce the associated tissues and structures to a level of adaptability that is conducive and consistent with structural integration. It is important to understand that reducing the pattern of a dysfunctional asymmetric client to the pattern of a functional asymmetric client is probably not going to happen in one session. The degree to which the dysfunction has diminished the integrity of the clients structure will dictate the amount of session work required to bring the structure to a more functional reality.
