unção tônica é o nome para um modelo de integração estrutural desenvolvido pelo professor de dança, pesquisador e rolfista, Hubert Godard. Função tônica conecta a integração estrutural com a pesquisa científica atual e os estudos históricos sobre o movimento e o desenvolvimento. É uma tentativa de desmistificar a linguagem da gravidade e, tendo feito isso, aprimorar nossa capacidade de fazer mudanças duradouras e significativas na vida das pessoa

Chronic low back pain is among the most burdensome of health problems in prevalence and cost of care [1]. It is the leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide and the most frequent cause of functional loss in high-income countries [2, 3]. Much of the economic burden is expended on costly surgical and rehabilitative services. Up to onethird of acute low back pain cases may become chronic and lead to disability [4]. In a majority of chronic cases (estimated at 85–95%) a definitive diagnosis, that is, infection, neoplasm, osteoporosis, arthritis, fracture, radiculopathy, or inflammatory rheumatic processes, is ruled out, and these are designated as chronic “uncomplicated,” “mechanical,” Hindawi Publishing Corporation Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Volume 2015, Article ID 813418, 19 pages http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2015/813418 2 Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine or “nonspecific” low back pain (CNSLBP) [5]. There is no consensus on the optimal approach to the treatment of CNSLBP. Management typically includes some combination of analgesic or anti-inflammatory medication, directed therapeutic exercise, manipulation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and patient education [6]. Systematic reviews have generally concluded that the benefits of these approaches are limited and mostly short-lived [7–11]. A large survey in the United States found that 54% of patients with low back or neck pain used complementary therapies and that approximately onethird of all visits to alternative care practices were for back or neck pain [12]. Low back pain has been reported to be the primary complaint in 40% of all visits to chiropractors, 20% to massage therapists, and 15% to acupuncturists [13]. Structural Integration (SI) is an alternative manual therapy that is increasingly available and sometimes resorted to for the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain and disability. Developed by the biochemist Ida Rolf outside of orthodox medical science, it has been propagated as an alternative therapy since the mid-1950s. A few preliminary studies of low quality with small samples suggest effectiveness for musculoskeletal pain, but aside from a single case report, no clinical studies of SI for CNSLBP have been published to date [14–16]. The musculoskeletal pain studies and preliminary evidence regarding a number of hypothesized therapeutic mechanisms have been reviewed elsewhere [17]. The experience of SI treatment sometimes involves notable discomfort which has led to a reputation of being excessively painful and even to concerns as to its safety [18]. This has been a barrier to a more widespread adoption by conventional clinical services, although SI was successfully incorporated into at least one [15, 19]. Despite these concerns, published data on adverse events (AE) associated with SI are limited to a single case and a small prospective case series [20, 21]. This study was designed to collect preliminary data on the feasibility, effectiveness, and AE associated with SI as an adjunct to outpatient rehabilitation (OR) versus OR alone for CNSLBP. The outcomes will inform the design of a more adequately powered clinical trial. We hypothesized that we could recruit and retain qualified participants who would comply with treatment regimens and data collection, that a course of SI + OR would improve low back related pain and disability significantly more than OR alone, and that SI could be delivered with acceptable levels of AE.

From “Physical Therapy”From “Physical Therapy”From “Physical Therapy”From “Physical Therapy”From “Physical Therapy”The effects of soft tissue manipulation (Rolfing method) were evaluated on young healthy men using two dependent variables: 1) angle of pelvic inclination and 2) parasympathetic activity. Pelvic inclination was assessed by determining the angle of standing pelvic tilt (SPT) with an inclinometer. Autonomic tone was assessed by a measure of cardiac vagal tone (amplitude of respiratory sinus arrhythmia) derived from monitoring heart rate. Thirty-two subjects, pre-selected for exhibiting an anteriorly tilted pelvis, were randomly assigned to either an Experimental Group (n = 16) that received a 45-minute Rolfing pelvic mobilization session or a Control Group (n = 16) that received a 45-minute control session without manipulation. Dependent variables were assessed before the 45-minute session, immediately after the session, and 24 hours later. Comparing pretest to posttest assessments, the Experimental Group demonstrated a significant decrease in SPT angle and a significant increase in vagal tone. The Control Group did not show significant pretest or posttest differences. The results provide theoretical support for the reported clinical uses of soft tissue pelvic manipulation for 1) certain types of low back dysfunction and 2) musculoskeletal disorders associated with autonomic stress.

Introduction: Gravity profoundly influences us every moment of our existence. Yet, like air, we almost forget it exists. Our bodies are designed to be in a state of equilibrium with gravity for proper functioning. Dr. Ida Rolf recognized the importance of gravity over fifty years ago. As I have traveled around the world, I have attempted to personally experience every form of therapeutic intervention. I have been fortunate enough to have been Rolf ed by the highly skilled hands of Jim Boyce. Jim is an Advanced Certified Rolfer with an in-depth knowledge of this valuable approach. I asked Jim to share Ida Roles philosophies and the insights gained from his vast experience.-John F. Barnes, PT”One individual may experience his losing fight with gravity as a sharp pain in the back another as the unflattering contour of his body, another as constant fatigue, and yet another as an unrelenting threatening environment. Those over forty may call it old age, yet all these signals may be pointing to a single problem so prominent in their own structures and the structures of others, that it has been ignored; they are off balance. They are all at war with gravity”.Dr. Ida P. Rolf

…Linearity probably arose originally as a projection of man himself, because man speaks linearly one word after another he tends to think linearly, one idea after another…. Basically this was the frame on which hich the physiomechanical revolution of the 17th century was constructed…..When I was a “scientist” fifty years ago, my credo was that given time, this type of science of logical, linear thinking would describe-all that is within our universe. Life and time have uncovered the limitations of the notion…. The universe is opening its “nothing but” hard boundaries are disappearing. It is becoming defined by the position of its center rather than by hard boundaries…. A closed universe can be seen as a projection of a higher abstraction of an Open Universe.-Ida P.

Cells and the extracellutar matrix (ECM) immediately surrounding them engage in reciprocal determinations. But the ECM is also a global structure because iris continuous throughout the body. We argue that this local-global articulation is a central element in the determination of an animal’s form, and we show how it participates in all the other dimensions of animal life. Specific experimental implications and further consequences of this view are discussed.

Note: In (a previous) article I stated that the body’s reaction to trauma–or to the expectation of trauma–was a combination of predictable responses, withdrawal and collapse. Withdrawal can be separated into four components: contraction, retraction, immobilization, and often, rotation. (Hence, the mnemonic “CRIOR”.) We maintain the withdrawal posture as long as we believe re- injury is possible. There is a two fold value in understanding these responses. First it establishes a referent to evaluate the effectiveness of a particular treatment. Second, it gives the therapist a larger perspective: the whole body reaction can provide a strategy for the overall rehabilitation.
