MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS TOOL IN BIOENERGETIC ANALYSIS
I suppose many therapists have heard that John Pierrakos’ Core Energetics created an
alternative tool to substitute the Bionergetic Analysis stool. This tool is called Roller; it’s a
wooden cylinder structure, covered with a thick layer of sponge. It’s 32 cm high and 62 cm
long.
I tried the Roller on myself for the first time in 2006 and was surprised by the emotional
somatic opening I felt. I soon tried it on all my patients and the results were equally surprising.
I use the Roller with a mattress that has the same height, so that head, neck and arms are
well supported (see photograph).
The two objects combined, allow me to help my patients breath deeply, expanding the
deep muscular tissue, enabling me to work legs, pelvis, torso and head as a whole, with less
stress than on the stool.
Last January in Seville, I decided to introduce the Roller and it’s use in Bioenergetic
Analysis at the Iberian Conference in a workshop called: « Working with the Involuntary
Movement ».
These are some advantages that I have found in my Bioenergetic Analysis’ work with the Roller:
� The therapist’s physical posture is closer to the patient and that makes bonding easier.
� Improves therapist and patient’s grounding, because they are both at the same low
ground level.
� Gives better support to important body parts like spine, neck and head, because these
parts rest on the mattress and the Roller.
� More muscle extension and opening of the pelvis, abdomen and chest tissue is possible,
with less physical pain and psychological struggle, because the Roller is less aggressive
on the expansion of the connective tissue.
