Structural Integration – Vol. 37 – Nº 3

Editor’s Note: This is the transcript of a lecture presented at the Rolf Institute?s 2008 Annual Meeting in Boulder, Colorado.

Note on the vignettes heading the text sections: Blechschmidt identified and depicted a set of ?late metabolic fields? that signify biophysical forces. The employed stick figures illustrate these forces. They are actively involved in organizing the change of position, shape and structure of (biochemical) metabolic fields. They represent specific kinetics of ontogenetic developmental movements.

Editor?s Note: In this issue we profile two of the Rolfers who assist our community so much through their technical savvy. We owe them a big round of applause for keeping the Rolf Forum up and running and for birthing RolfBB and RolfHub.com.

In teaching my recent Unit III class, a student asked me to explain radial decompression and axial decompression. I gave my answer and then decided to go the source for the best answer possible. Jan Sultan, in his constant interest and devotion to developing our work, created this session and its name many years ago. The following is my interview with him about radial decompression and its development. I hope you will appreciate, as I did, his ongoing passion to explore and develop the dimension and depth of our work.
