During session three of SI, I saw and felt a huge difference in my body. I felt like I got new shoulders. My posture and stance feels upright. You can tell in the before and after photos. HUGE difference! These before and after photos were taken before and immediately after the session. Approximately a difference of one and a half hours.
This session focuses on seperating the front from the back. Not only did Rama do that, he put my shoulders back where they need to be, which allows my head to fit on my body better. My torso was lengthened, which I totally need. Session three is where I became more aware of how my structure and how it is compromised through repetitive daily movements. Rama demonstrated for me movement excersises that involed how to properly stand up from a seated position. That was my homework... A few days later, when I was at work, I noticed that I didn't have that normal tightening sensation in my back or shoulders while blowdrying. I can feel how each session builds on the one before.

I went in for my second session of Structural Integration (aka Rolfing). This session focuses on the part of the leg from below the knees to the feet. I must say..."I have new feet". I don't feel like I have new feet...I _actually _have _NEW_ feet!
I never thought about how much abuse my feet takes. Standing. Heels. Standing in heels all day. I learned the fascia in our feet crystalize over time. This process gets rid of that build up. After an intense session, my lower leg and feet feel and look extremely relaxed! My toes even rest in a relaxed position when I'm standing or sitting. I highly recommend wearing flats for this session and a few days later. It's interesting to see how relaxed the muscles in my feet look even when I have all my weight on them. When I stand, my feet are naturally more parallel instead of a slight "V" shape. At first, it was awkward walking in my new feet. But now... I feel GROUNDED. In my Clark's, it feels like I'm walking on marshmellows. I still love my heels though! For more information on Structural Integration (SI) visit www.ramadavis.com |
