Basis of Support
Early in the Rolfing process we are working with the lower legs and feet. Significant changes can occur within a single session, but sustained alignment will require ongoing effort due to long-established posture. The objective is to achieve a more parallel foot orientation and reposition the gastrocnemius muscles toward the back of the lower leg where they belong. Both feet exhibit pronation, with the left showing greater pronation, which necessitates additional attention in future sessions. Here my client’s shift in the feet, and the lower legs provide a more lengthened torso far away from the focus of the session showing how working the lower body has a powerful effect on the upper body.
