Zdravá záda – Schwind Peter (2002)

Healthy backs are a symptom of health and vitality. There are various methods to successfully or less successfully restore the spine's elasticity and flexibility, usually in the form of active movement exercises. A new method of working with the body, known as rolfing, offers a completely new perspective on the function of the body and movement. It is based on the interconnectedness of distant body parts and organs through connective tissue, whose emphasized movement manifests as a reflex response and connects different levels of the organism. It thus aligns with ancient Eastern energy systems, such as acupuncture, but on strictly anatomical foundations. Rolfing has developed a range of special techniques, including work with cranial sutures or manual treatment of internal organs using the so-called visceral method. In this book, you will find a detailed description of the "ten sessions," in which all surface connective tissue layers are gradually treated, focusing on creating what is known as structural integration. It also includes a self-help movement course that teaches sensory dynamics – a tool for deeper awareness of basic movement patterns.
