ABSTRACT This article by Rolfer® and sports scientist Jakob Reichardt integrates the philosophy of Rolfing® Structural Integration with athletics, biomechanics, and neurology to optimize movement and performance in gravity. Key mechanical properties explored are force and power, and the rate of force application. The myofascial system, particularly the structure and tension of the fascia, is shown to amplify muscular strength and participate in force transmission. Neurologically, fast, high-impact movements rely heavily on rapid reflex arcs and the precise monitoring provided by muscle spindles and the Golgi tendon organs. Reichardt critically assesses traditional Rolfing approaches, like releasing hamstring tension in the First Hour of a Rolfing Ten Series®. The author also urges the Rolfing community to overcome its biases against strength training, emphasizing its crucial role in injury prevention, metabolic health, and supporting a client’s ability to cope with the strenuous demands of daily work or sport. Ultimately, effective Rolfing work for clients who engage with high-impact movement requires integrating the demands of force and power with the myofascial and neuromuscular realities of movement in gravity.
