Rolfing Movement: A Self-Help Approach

Mary Bond introduces a unique self-help program for body transformation that goes beyond simply focusing on good posture and movement efficiency. She explains that much of the physical tension and stress we experience is a result of having an imbalanced body. When our physical structure is habitually bent, twisted, and compressed, the body responds by holding itself together with tension in order to remain upright.

Bond emphasizes the flexibility of the connective tissue that holds our bodies together and explains that it will adapt to new, healthy patterns of posture and movement with the right encouragement. Rolfing Movement, as presented by Bond, utilizes touch and verbal messages to help individuals become more responsive to their body's internal cues.

In addition to the Rolfing Movement techniques, the author provides a practical series of structural awareness exercises aimed at redirecting awareness to internal sensations of tension or balance. These movement explorations are detailed as scripts, allowing individuals to practice the movements with specific instructions.

By learning to recognize and appropriately respond to the body's internal messages, individuals can experience a newfound freedom of expression in their bodies, resulting in a noticeable increase in health and vitality. Bond's program offers a comprehensive approach to transforming the body, focusing on both physical and internal awareness for overall well-being.
