Working with Octogenarians

 

Individuals seek Rolfing for a variety of purposes, including enhancing their mobility. For many octogenarians, the primary motivation might be to maintain balance and reduce the risk of unexpected falls, which can often initiate a series of complications leading to decreased mobility and diminished quality of life. In this session my client shifts dramatically toward a better-balanced structure.  Movement is from left to right, with a more horizontal pelvis, which is one of the hallmarks in the Rolfing process, and there is more equal weight distribution through both legs, Rolfing can help clients regain confidence in their movement patterns and foster a greater sense of independence. If you have relatives in this age group, consider referring them to Rolfing Iowa to support their stability.
