Structural Integration – Vol. 36 – Nº 4

Editor’s Note: We have expanded the original “Ask the Advanced Faculty” column to include the entire Rolfing faculty, for broader participation and insight. In this issue we are fortunate to have a number of responses to our question. Please note that the topic is also addressed in articles throughout this issue.

Traditionally, the seventh hour of the Rolfing structural integration Ten Series is focused around the neck and head. We address the neck to increase circulation into and out of the cranium, balance the cervical curve, work on the cranium itself, do the mouth and the nose work, and complete the session by balancing the spine and sacrum. In this article I will explain the specific benefits of mouth and nose work and give some examples of its importance in sessions with babies, children and adults.
