User description

In general our goal, is not to create flexibility, our goal is to create order and balance. In ProJoint Plus Ingredients takes time for the gel-to-sol transformation that takes place through the application of our tools. So we have to be patient, because as Rolfers our goal was to create a body that lengthens as it moves. Using words to encourage and then applying angles of pressure with our tools, determines the efficiency of Rolfing. We know that fascia is stubborn by nature and it will resist direct force. As tissue gets disorganized or as it ages, the fascia has a tendency to move laterally and wide. Think in layers. Try to see layers. We look for the relationship between the blocks from the feet to the knees, knees to the waist, waist to the shoulders, and from the shoulders to the head. These are the four blocks to we use to visualize the areas of the body that are most disorganized. Then we learn as Rolfers to develop a language to describe movement with the intrinsics, so the client can feel it from the inside. We learn to give verbal cues, always in a way that encourages the client to lengthen instead of shorten the area that we are working in. We work in places until the pattern is broken; and we try not to work until perfection is achieved. We look for choices, not perfection.We begin to think of muscles not as things, but in relationship to each other. Our job is to find balance between the core and the sleeve, and between intrinsics and extrinsic. If our intent is to affect intrinsics, we have to go slowly. Sometimes the client is too sensitive to let us go deeply, so we use our hands on the surface to meet to stimulate and to go deep with the other hand. A big muscle will use a lot more input from the central nervous system and will do all the work at the expense of the smaller ones. Part of our job is to balance the two. Judah began his career in body work at the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration in 1989 becoming certified in the techniques of Dr. Ida P. Rolf. After certification from the Rolf Institute, he continued his studies at The Guild for Structural Integration, The Upledger Institute focusing on CranioSacral Therapy and the British Sports Institute concentrating on sports injuries. Judah studied the Biodynamic model of Craniosacral Therapy with Franklyn Sills in England at the Karuna Institute for two years. He has also studied Visceral Manipulation with Didier Pratt, D.O. and is a certified practitioner of The Bowen Technique of Australia.
