In the Advanced Rolfing Fort Worth hour six the work begins to make another shift in the Rolfing\u00ae protocol: Palintonicity Adaptability/Support (6–7–8) Core expressing through the lower pole. This session will complete the leg work of 2–4–6 of support, and complete pelvic work of 4–5–6 of transmission. When looking at the back of the body it is important to recognize the posterior reflections of the fifth hour anterior work. "Adaptive capacity at the hips precedes order in the spine. Organization in the core and sleeve precedes order in the spine. Order in Axial complex precedes order in the head." The main goals are to balance the pelvic girdle by organizing legs and intra pelvic structures, and free the sacrum and the spine from any remaining drifts and rotations in posterior soft tissue. Establish horizontals in the legs by working the lines of tension to resolve rotations and counter rotations in posterior leg segments.
The primary tilters and shifters are different from left to right side so special attention should be given to working the asymmetry in a way that is congruent. This Rolfing Fort Worth session travels from the plantar fascia all the way up superficial back line over the calcaneus, gastroc, soleus, knee, hamstrings, rotators, sacro-tuberous and sacro-spinous ligaments. When observing the posterior axial fascia, side bends with rotations are to be worked in the direction of correction so that the organization in the whole structure from toe to head can emerge. Neck work should be with client supine for mobility and translation in flexion/extension Seated work is assisted movement through all three functional planes depending on the amount of integration that has occurred thus far so G or G' tendency should be obvious and observed. Pelvic lift or pull will end in hour six the work begins to make another shift in the Rolfing\u00ae protocol: Palintonicity Adaptability/Support (6–7–8) Core expressing through the lower pole.
