Often times, in an attempt to get back into a fitness routine, we often go out to buy a pair of shoes thinking they are going to make us a better jogger, climber, hiker, etc.  But we seldom think about the state of body and whether we are "in shape" to begin a rigorous exercise program.

After starting your workout, have you ever felt like some of the muscles in your body were stuck together?  Well, you're right.  Repetitive motion and physical and emotional trauma store in the body causing chronic pain.  This is because the fascia (connective tissue), literally gets glued together.

According to Rolf's teachings, "Falls, illnesses, psychological stress, even the way children copy their parents, all leave a mark in the body's structure.  If you structure is out of alignment, you are out of alignment with gravity and your body is simply incapable of producing maximum energy output".  

Rolf's teachings explain that if you fall and hurt your arm, let, etc., and the area of the body is forced into a less efficient position, it may heal in that position without correcting itself causing one side of the body to be lopsided.  Misalignments in the body hamper the energy ordinarily carried through the nervous system.
