Details
At the intersection of Rolfing Structural Integration and Visceral Osteopathy, Structural-Visceral Integration (S-VI) anatomically bridges the container and the contents.
Addressing the viscera of the abdomen and pelvis in the same spatial framework as 'Recipe' Sessions 1-6, this class leans into our roots of working with direct technique. Especially when the client has had competent musculoskeletal care, visceral restrictions can be the anatomical elephant in the room.
Generally following the trail of the larger visceral ligaments of the Gastrointestinal Track, visceral components covered include the large intestine, small intestine, cecum, ascending colon, hepatic flexure, liver, gall bladder, transverse colon, stomach, spleen, splenic flexure, descending colon, sigmoid colon, urinary bladder, lesser and greater omentum, root of the mesentery, umbilical ligament, perineum, and parietal peritoneum. Peritoneal gliding is an overarching theme and therapeutic intent.
Structural components include the lower extremity, respiratory diaphragm, diaphragmatic recess, pelvis, sacrum, coccyx, pubic symphysis, lumbar spine, sacroiliac joints, transverses abdominus, iliacus, psoas, QL, etc..
Appropriate for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike, this class supports your preexisting Rolfing practice and is focused on improving outcomes both inside and outside the 10-Series. Class focuses on clinical reasoning skills, body mechanics, palpation, anatomy review, and learning clinically relevant manual therapy techniques through lecture, demonstrations, practicums, and Q&A’s. Long lever technique will be incorporated. S-VI addresses post-surgical scar tissue issues.
S-VI curates a broader anatomical landscape and framework for interfacing anatomies and working with more of the whole person. The objective is systems anatomy structural integration.
