This Continuing Education class is open to Certified Rolfers and practitioners of Structural Integration who have completed an IASI Recognized SI Program.
"Remember to close the session with integrative neck work." We heard something like this from our teachers and know the importance of neck work, along with back work and a pelvic lift, for integration at the end of the session. But how can our neck work best serve our client's integration at the end of the session? What is a way to provide neck work that is specific to each session within a series?
In this two-day workshop, we will explore neck work through the series in a thematic way. For example, functional bilateral support is a theme of Session 2, and A/P depth on the lateral line is a theme of Session 3. What is neck work that serves those themes? How do we ensure our neck work serves the goals of the client within the session and the series?
We will deepen our understanding of neck work for the first six sessions (and how that translates to the entire ten-series) through anatomy presentations, ten-series review, and neck work exchanges. We will also look at the rib complex and how addressing rib dysfunctions can serve to increase range of motion and ease of motion in the neck.
About the Instructor
Neal Anderson is a faculty member of the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute®, chairs the DIRI Executive Education Committee, and co-chairs the Phase I department with Lu Mueller-Kaul. Neal trained as a Rolfer® after sixteen years as a practicing architect. This background continues to inform his work, which he describes as "working with the dynamic architecture of the body as opposed to the static architecture of a building. Gravity affects buildings and bodies alike and, in both cases, gravity is the organizing force for the structure."
In Neal's words: "It is very important to have work that is fun and evokes laughter. For me, this is true of both my Rolfing practice and my Rolfing teaching. I love engaging with clients and students to help bring them to a higher level of function and living on this planet." He currently lives and works in Loveland, Colorado.
