[edit] "Gravitational field"?
The line, "Dr. Ida Rolf developed Structural Integration or Rolfing in the 1950s, a holistic system of soft tissue manipulation and movement education that with the goal of balancing the body in gravitational field." is grammatically incorrect and appears to make little sense. I don't understand what a "gravitational field" means in this context, so I don't know how to properly correct the grammar. In this case the only "gravitational field" worth worrying about that I'm aware of is the Earth's gravitational field, and I think we can safely assume that all patients will be on Earth, which would make the last part of that sentence pointless. Can someone please fix the grammar and explain what is meant by a "gravitational field" here? Also, I don't know much about "Rolfing," but I'm not sure it fits the Wikipedia's description of holism in medicine. Can someone check that as well? -- 70.20.151.239 16:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree. In fact, this is where I had to stop reading before my head exploded. This whole thing is so grammatically atrocious as to be almost unintelligible. --DelCavallo 23:30, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
"Quantum Physics and CranioSacral Therapy"??? http://www.massagetoday.com/archives/2005/10/11.html
This article, referenced in the links, attempts to apply subatomic particle physics to cranialsacral therapy. It also attempts to apply entropy in the same context. i.e. ...
" 6. You should intend for most collisions to occur between positively charged quarks (subatomic particles) from within the atomic nucleus and the electrons, which are negatively charged..."
The salient point in quantum physics is that it only applies at the subatomic level. Attempting to mobilize quarks by the laying on of hands is utter nonsense. Human hands cannot perform the work of particle accelerators regardless of the 'intention'. At best the practitioner can induce friction or compression, both of which cause increased collisions in valence electrons only.
"...when you send organizing energy into a client, heat often radiates from his or her body. Schroedinger believed this heat radiation was a release of entropy (entropic energy) that was therapeutic, because it threw the balance in favor of syntropy. So, on the whole, the client would have more constructive and less destructive energy in his or her body."
The detected heat is more likely due to localized vasomotor response (similar to hot flash or rash) that is a response to trigger point nervous stimulation and has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the entropy of the affected tissue. Localized entropy cannot create palpable heat in a resting human body unless the patient has a spasm and is burning a significant quantity of glucose, or else perhaps the patient is on fire.
This link should be deleted. It only engenders confusion.

I added a external link since the theory behind the Myofascial Release is contested. Myofascial Release: The Great Conversation This link was removed by someone without any advice. Our discussion came on our board with the claims written in this paper. Scientific Rationale --Somasimple 15:16, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
The link to Myofascial Release: The Great Conversation was once more removed by a hidden people. I put it back in place.--Somasimple 15:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia's external link guidelines make it clear that forums are not appropriate places to link to. The Somasimple.com link has been removed. --Siobhan Hansa 21:24, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] recent external link
An IP address has been adding an external link to a site which is of unknown authorship and appears to be attacking an individual therapist - this link must not stay on the page. Apart from being nonencyclopedic, it is a violation of our policy on coverage of living people. Please delete any such links on sight. Thanks --Siobhan Hansa 17:36, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
