(BQ) Part 2 book “Advanced myofascial techniques” has contents: Hip mobility, sciatic pain, the sacrotuberous ligament, the sacroiliac joints, the ilia, the wrist and carpal bones, the thenar eminence, frozen shoulder. | Pelvic Girdle 10 Hip Mobility 11 Sciatic Pain 12 The Sacrotuberous Ligament 13 The Sacroiliac Joints 14 The Ilia Hip Mobility 10 Figure The iliofemoral, pubofemoral, and ischiofemoral ligaments limit hip motion. When I was a student at the Rolf Institute in the 1980s, I heard a story about its founder, Dr. Ida Rolf, which underlined the importance of pelvic mobility in her work. According to the story, Dr. Rolf would regularly quiz her trainees about the aims of each of her ten “hours” or sessions. She reportedly asked her classes questions such as, “What is the goal of the fifth hour?” As a demanding teacher, very few answers would satisfy her; but even though each session was different, she reportedly accepted the answer “free the pelvis” as a correct one, no matter which session she would ask about. While this story probably has an element of folklore to it (since her death in 1979, many “Ida stories” have assumed the status of legend in the structural integration community), it illustrates the key role that pelvic adaptability at the hip joints played in her vision of an integrated body. Dr. Rolf referred to the hips and pelvis as “the joint that determines symmetry.” She was not alone in emphasizing the key role of the hips; balanced hip joint mobility is important in fields as diverse as athletics, dance, geriatrics, and back pain management. I became even more curious about the relationship of the low back to hip-joint mobility when I traveled to Japan to teach and practice manual therapy, a few years after graduating from the Rolf Institute. I noticed challenges in my own hip mobility as I adjusted to the Japanese practice of sitting on floor cushions more often than on chairs. I noticed considerably more hip mobility (especially external rotation) in my Japanese clientele than I had seen in my American and European clients. My Japanese clients also seemed to have generally flatter spinal curves. Was this also related to their hip mobility? In .
