This is the gospel of Rolfing: when the body gets working appropriately, the force of gravity can flow through. Then, spontaneously the body heals itself.

Gravity

Ida Rolf believed that humans would take energy from gravity if the body was oriented to gravity in a correct way. She believed that beliefs about a subtle energy body arose from the experience of effortless and plentiful energy that occurred for some people when excellent-enough alignment happened. Like all phenomena of excellence, this is rare, and scientifically unprovable

However, it is self-evident that human movement and stability is based around gravity. Adaptation to gravity can be awkward or graceful. Graceful movement has been likened to a 'controlled' continuous fall.
