Check this out – a post on “shoes” that aren’t shoes. These quasi-shoes support you in walking and running naturally. I agree, most running shoes and orthotics make the problem worse.
Trail Running
While I had my clinic in Scottsdale, AZ I treated many ultra-marathon runners and trail runners. These runners like others saw a huge improvement with their injuries and their performance. Walking and running are natural activities for our bodies. When performed with the help of gravity you move as if you are going downhill.
The elite runners in the study we did with ASU collaborated what my clients were experiencing. Rolfing fixes the problems, then enhances you ability to run naturally with more ease.
Certified Advance Rolfer from Boulder, Colorado Dave Sheldon wrote an excellent article on trail running for Trail Running Magazine. I highly recommend the article for any runner.
True Transformation of Our Healthcare System
Deepak Chopra, a physician by training wrote an excellent manifesto on the efficacy of holistic health. Quoting statistics from several diverse sources that support what many of us know – we are turning to holistic health even when it means we have to pay for it all out of our own pockets.
Rolfing as one of the first holistic therapies is at the core of this shift Chopra speaks about in his article. For decades, Rolfers have shown that improving you total health is the best investment you can make.
Self-responsibility is the key ingredient to creating a sustainable shift in our healthcare. More people need to see themselves, not a doctor, a health insurance company or the government as the one responsible for their health. Living in a country where it citizens expect a free pill that will immediately cure their current problem with no side effects only perpetuates this dilemma. There will never be such a pill.
Articles on Rolfing
Here is a list of articles I wrote on Rolfing for local publications that are on www.sandpointwellnesscouncil.com, a blog I created for our association of health care practitioners:
Where Is Your Pain in the Neck?
How to Heal Your Old Sprains and Strains
What is the Problem with Cellulite?
I hope these articles are helpful.
Rolfing in the Movies
The movie Semi-Tough released in 1977 starring Burt Reynolds, Kris Kristofferson, Jill Clayburgh, and Brian Dennehy follows the story of pro-football friends who explore raising their conscious through experiencing a training similar to est and other new age endeavors. Even to this day, I occasionally run into someone who remembers the parody in the film portraying Burt Reynolds being Rolfed. Now you can watch the film for free via your computer –https://www.hulu.com/watch/49754/semi-tough. This film added to Rolfing’s rep of being painful.
Watch it. You will see what you are missing by not receiving the “old school Rolfing.” Let us know what you think.
