J'ai gradué de l'Université de Montréal et suis alors devenue kinésiologue en 1996!

30 ans plus t**d, heureusement avant ma retraite, les kinésiologues se font enfin prendre en mains par l'Office des Professions du Québec et ainsi se faire intégrer, encadrer et protéger par un ordre d'une profession connexe mais distincte à la nôtre; c'est-à-dire l'Odre des Ergothérapeutes du Québec!

Quel GRAND PAS en avant!

Je suis aujourd'hui très fière d'être kinésiologue! 🫠

~~~~~~~☆~~~~~~~☆~~~~~~~☆~~~~~~~

I graduated from the University of Montreal and became a kinesiologist in 1996!

30 years later, thankfully before my retirement, kinesiologists are finally being taken under the wing of the Quebec Professions Office, thus will be integrated, regulated, and protected by a professional order of a related but distinct profession to ours: the Quebec Order of Occupational Therapists!

What a HUGE step forward!

Today, I am very proud to be a kinesiologist! 🙃

Ida Rolf: “Women came to her with chronic pain doctors called "psychosomatic." She found the physical cause medicine had ignored—and they dismissed her too.
In the 1940s, Ida Pauline Rolf had a problem that wouldn't go away: she was a brilliant biochemist in a world that didn't know what to do with brilliant women.
She had earned her PhD in biological chemistry from Columbia University in 1920—one of the few women in her field. She had worked at the Rockefeller Institute. She had published research. She had the credentials, the training, the mind.
But chronic health issues—her own and her children's—kept leading her to doctors who had the same response: rest. Wait. Accept it. There's nothing structurally wrong.
Clean X-rays. Normal blood work. No visible pathology.
The implicit message: maybe it's in your head.
Ida Rolf didn't accept that answer. She was a scientist. If the pain was real—and she knew it was—there had to be a physical mechanism medicine was missing.
So she started looking where nobody else was looking: at fascia.
Fascia is the dense, fibrous connective tissue that wraps around every muscle, organ, nerve, and bone in the body. It's everywhere—a continuous web that holds you together, transmits force, and shapes your structure. In the 1940s, medical schools barely mentioned it. It was considered inert packing material, something you cut through to get to the "important" stuff during surgery.
Rolf saw something different. She saw fascia as dynamic, adaptive, and capable of holding patterns—patterns created by injury, posture, repetitive stress, and emotional trauma. When fascia tightened and reorganized around these patterns, it pulled the body out of alignment. And that misalignment created pain that no X-ray would ever show.
Women came to her with stories doctors had stopped listening to.
Shoulders that never relaxed. Hips that felt crooked. Backs that ached without visible injury. Necks that couldn't turn fully. Chronic headaches. Jaw pain. Pelvic pain. Exhaustion from holding their bodies together against invisible forces.
They had been told: lose weight. Exercise more. Take a vacation. See a psychiatrist. It's stress. It's hormones. It's menopause. It's motherhood. It's life.
The subtext was always the same: you're unreliable. Your pain isn't real. You're exaggerating. You're too emotional. You're a difficult patient.
Ida Rolf believed them.
She developed a method she called Structural Integration—a systematic approach to releasing fascial restrictions through deep, sustained manual pressure. She worked methodically through the body in ten sessions, each targeting specific fascial layers and regions. The goal wasn't relaxation. It was reorganization.
And it hurt.
Rolfing wasn't gentle. She pressed deeply into tissue, holding pressure until the fascia released. Patients cried. They trembled. They had emotional breakthroughs as their bodies let go of patterns they'd been holding for decades.
But when they stood up afterward, something had shifted. Shoulders dropped. Spines lengthened. Hips balanced. Pain that had been constant for years eased or disappeared entirely.
The women whose suffering had been dismissed as psychosomatic were getting structurally better. Their bodies were changing shape. Their movement was improving. The pain was real, the cause was physical, and the treatment worked.
Ida Rolf tried to bring her work to the medical establishment.
They rejected her completely.
She was a woman. She didn't have a medical degree. Her method was based on manipulation of tissue doctors considered irrelevant. She talked about "energy" and "gravity" and "structural integration" in ways that sounded unscientific. And worst of all, she was claiming to cure conditions medicine had already categorized as psychosomatic—which implied doctors had been wrong.
The medical community called her a quack. They dismissed Rolfing as pseudoscience, dangerous manipulation, and exploitative bodywork preying on desperate patients. Some doctors warned people to stay away from her.
But the people she helped kept coming. And they kept getting better.
Throughout the 1950s and 60s, Rolf trained practitioners, refined her technique, and built a following—mostly among people medicine had failed. Dancers and athletes came because they understood bodies in ways doctors didn't. People with chronic pain came because they had nowhere else to go.
Women came because Ida Rolf was one of the only people who believed them.
She was uncompromising, intense, and absolutely convinced she was right. She didn't soften her approach to make doctors comfortable. She didn't apologize for lacking an MD. She kept working, kept teaching, kept proving that the pain medicine dismissed was structurally real.
And slowly, science began to catch up.
In the 1970s and 80s, researchers started studying fascia seriously. They discovered it wasn't inert—it was rich with nerve endings, mechanoreceptors, and cells that responded to mechanical stress. They found that fascial restrictions could create referred pain, limit range of motion, and alter movement patterns. They confirmed what Rolf had been saying for decades: fascia mattered.
By the 2000s, fascia research had exploded. Biomechanics labs were mapping fascial networks. Physical therapists were incorporating fascial release into treatment. Medical textbooks were updating their anatomy sections. Scientists were publishing papers on fascial plasticity, myofascial pain syndromes, and the role of connective tissue in chronic conditions.
Ida Rolf had been right all along.
Today, Rolfing is practiced worldwide. The Rolf Institute trains certified practitioners. Research continues to validate the biomechanical principles underlying her work. Fascia is now recognized as a key player in chronic pain, postural dysfunction, and movement disorders.
But here's what still needs saying: Ida Rolf's story isn't just about fascia. It's about who gets believed.
Women are significantly more likely than men to have their pain dismissed, minimized, or attributed to psychological causes. Studies show women wait longer in emergency rooms, receive less pain medication, and are more likely to be prescribed psychiatric drugs for physical symptoms. Chronic pain conditions that predominantly affect women—fibromyalgia, endometriosis, chronic fatigue syndrome—took decades longer to be taken seriously than comparable conditions affecting men.
Ida Rolf saw this pattern in the 1940s. She saw women being gaslit by a medical system that didn't have the tools—or the interest—to understand their suffering.
And when she developed those tools, when she found the physical mechanism medicine had missed, the same system dismissed her too.
A PhD biochemist with reproducible results was called a quack because she was a woman working outside traditional medical hierarchies, treating a patient population medicine had already decided was unreliable.
It took decades for science to validate what she and her patients already knew: the pain was real. The tissue held the story. The body could be reorganized. And women weren't making it up.
Ida Pauline Rolf died in 1979 at age 83. She lived just long enough to see her work begin to gain scientific recognition, but not long enough to see fascia become a major field of research.
She spent most of her career being dismissed by the very establishment she had been trained in.
But she kept working. She kept believing her patients. She kept insisting that invisible pain deserved visible solutions.
And she proved that the most profound healing often begins not with a diagnosis written by someone who doesn't believe you, but with someone who listens—to your body's structure, its silent stories, and the tissue that remembers what medicine chose to overlook.”

SCROLL 4 ENGLISH: 😉

Lors de ma toute première classe à l'Université de Montréal, au trimestre de janvier 1993, notre professeur de philosophie nous a fait part d'un énoncé lourd précisant que les programmes universitaires de premier cycle au Canada commencèrent dans les années 1940s mais qu'il n'existait toujours pas d'ordre professionnel pour notre future profession; qu'à notre graduation de ne point s'attendre à se faire servir un emploi en or sur un plateau d'argent.

Je peux dire que mes plus grandes satisfactions professionnelles proviennent de mes propres réalisations en en tant que travailleuse autonome, parcontre reconnaissant que j'ai appris et grandi énormément dans les divers milieux, endroits et entreprises où j'ai été employées.

Cependant, le plus difficile durant mon parcours professionnel, à été la non-reconnaissance et la méconnaissance de mon milieu professionnel, incluant ses capacités et qualités. J'ai peinement transporté sur mes épaules ce poids tout au long de ma carrière de kinésiologue.

Mais aujourd'hui, les kinésiologues, nous recevons de bonnes nouvelles vers la reconnaissance et l'encadrement de notre profession auprès du gouvernement du Québec. SVP voir ci-bas dans la publication de la Fédération des kinésiologues du Québec.
Mieux vaut t**d que jamais! Majo🙏

ENGLISH: 😁

During my very first class at the University of Montreal, in the January 1993 semester, our philosophy professor shared a heavy statement indicating that undergraduate university programs in Canada began in the 1940s, but that there still was no professional order for our future profession; that upon graduation, we should not expect to be handed a golden job on a silver platter.

I can say that my greatest professional satisfactions come from my own achievements as a self-employed worker, although I acknowledge that I have learned and grown tremendously in the various environments, places, and companies where I have been employed.

However, the most difficult part of my professional journey has been the lack of recognition and understanding of my field, including its capabilities and qualities. I have carried this burden on my shoulders throughout my career as a kinesiologist.

But today, kinesiologists are receiving good news regarding the recognition and regulation of our profession by the Quebec government. Please see furter down the Fédération des Kinésiologues du Québec’s post in French or read this ENGLISH translation just here below.
Better late than never! Majo🙏

« The Fédération des Kinésiologues du Québec welcomes with enthusiasm the announcement from the Quebec Government confirming the start of work towards integrating kinesiologists into the professional system! 🎉

The opportunity notice published by the Quebec Office of Professions reminds us that "the level of autonomy enjoyed by kinesiologists in performing their tasks and activities is significant, regardless of their work setting. Although their interventions may be part of a continuum of care, including in clinical environments, they remain autonomous in choosing interventions related to their scope of practice. The specificity of their activities and the specialized knowledge and skills required make judgment about their practice difficult for individuals without their training or qualifications. This advocates for a regulatory model based on peer regulation." The Federation shares this assessment and emphasizes that the contribution of kinesiologists in various practice contexts directly addresses these concerns.

Integrating kinesiologists into the professional system will provide a clear framework for practice, based on high standards of competence, rigor, and ethics, while also promoting better interprofessional collaboration, especially in a context where access to care and population aging are growing challenges.

The Quebec Kinesiologists Federation reaffirms its full collaboration with the government and the Quebec Office of Professions in the efforts to integrate the profession into the professional system. »

La Fédération des kinésiologues du Québec accueille avec enthousiasme l’annonce du du Québec confirmant le début des travaux visant l’intégration des kinésiologues au système professionnel! 🎉

L’avis d’opportunité publié par l’Office des professions du Québec qui rappelle que « le degré d’autonomie dont jouissent les kinésiologues dans l’exercice de leurs tâches et activités est important, quel que soit leur lieu de travail. Bien que leur intervention puisse s’inscrire dans un continuum de soins, notamment en milieu clinique, ils demeurent autonomes dans le choix des interventions liées à leur champ d’exercice. La spécificité de leurs activités et les connaissances et compétences spécialisées requises rendent le jugement sur leur pratique difficile pour des personnes n’ayant pas leur formation ou qualification. Cela milite en faveur d’un modèle d’encadrement basé sur la régulation par les pairs ». La Fédération partage cette analyse et souligne que la contribution des kinésiologues dans divers contextes de pratique répond directement à ces préoccupations.

L’intégration des kinésiologues au système professionnel offrira un cadre d’exercice clair, fondé sur des standards élevés de compétence, de rigueur et d’éthique, tout en favorisant une meilleure collaboration interprofessionnelle, dans un contexte où notamment les enjeux d’accès aux soins et de vieillissement de la population sont grandissants.

La Fédération des kinésiologues du Québec réitère sa pleine collaboration au gouvernement et à l’Office des professions du Québec, dans le cadre des travaux visant l’intégration de la profession au système professionnel.

YEP! Interconnectivity of fascia. Mouvement = fluidity + resiliency + strength

Watch this fun video that visualize it well.

Fascia + Lymph = 4Eva This 4D connective tissue matrix gives your body its strength and flexibility. It wraps every muscle, organ, nerve, and vessel; from foot to face, skin to individual cell. Fascia is the fabric (and seams) of your body. Researcher Dr. Robert Schleip has changed how we understand fascia. His work shows just how alive and responsive it is, AND that it’s capable of shortening and stiffening over time. In our sedentary culture, low-movement conditions can shorten fascia over time (~1 cm per month)— if you’ve ever had frozen shoulder…you’re familiar with fascia’s contracture. Aka: a loss of glide, hydration, and adaptability in the fascial layers. Sure, you can get “frozen lumbar”. When fascia becomes dense or dehydrated, it limits range of motion and changes how fluid moves. Congestion isn’t always “too much fluid”; sometimes, much of the time, it’s the terrain the fluid is moving through. “How do I take care of my fascia?” Well, it responds to load, stretch, compression, shear, and variability. I prioritize abundant variety in my movement, which tells tissue it’s safe to stay adaptable. More filet mignon, less beef jerky. Caring for fascia doesn’t need to be extreme. Neither fascia nor I are big fans of blasting. Try instead: ❤️‍🔥 Daily, non-rigid movement (walking, spirals, swaying, reaching) ❤️‍🔥 Slow, mindful loading, not just stretching ❤️‍🔥 Hydration (fascia loves water) ❤️‍🔥 Breath that moves the ribs and belly ❤️‍🔥 Touch: self-massage, MLD, fascia-informed work ❤️‍🔥 Rest (fascia remodels when we rest) The goal isn’t to fix your body or “train” your fascia. The goal is to reconnect with the natural movements that have fed, informed, and sustained fascia since the beginning of our species. Give it the input it needs to stay fluid, responsive, and alive. ✌🏼 Much Lymph Love,�Leah LYMPH LAYERS PART 2: PHYSIO (lots of fascia talk y’all) Saturday 1/24 @ 11 CT �🐳 LYMPHLOVECLUB.COM
