PREFACE I practice Manual Medicine. My hands are the smartest part of me. My position is that those whom I have trained with and been trained by are physicians. Webster’ defines a physician as “any person or thing that heals, relieves, or comforts” and defines “heal” as “to make sound, well or healthy again; restore to health; to remedy or get rid of grief, troubles, etc.” After I examine my clients and their unique sets of conditions, I treat through education, words o guidance, numerous acts of God and a little manipulation. The purpose of this paper i to address a specific aspect of the latter. I am presenting this paper with a tacit understanding that the reader is a trained Rolfer. That is, you have a working knowledge of gross anatomy, are trained to identify and assess deviations in structure and function, and possess the basic manipulation skills required to address issues and restore function in a wide range of cases.
