By 2014 the technique had been updated, refreshed and fit for the 21st century. Allyn and Sue had been using, teaching, experimenting and refining this technique in the light of a more modern understanding of anatomy and physiology.
They were encouraged by Dr. Rosquist over about 10 years to refine the technique again for their generation.
In 2008 Dr. Rosquist wrote to them and charged them with keeping this technique alive and with developing it further for posterity. Dr Rosquist died in 2012.
To mark the centenary of John Hurley’s insight they decided to re-launch the technique.
After consulting with their students and graduates it was decided to change the name to Core Postural Alignment as this name better reflected what the technique had evolved into.

Why is poor posture a stressor and why does stress affect your posture? Gravity and the Stress Response.
The reason we are so concerned with effects of gravity is that if you are gravitationally challenged gravity becomes a constant stressor which causes many and profound physiological changes in the body.
Why is the body like a bowl of custard? This is a more whimsical way of asking “Why is Thixotropia so important?” This blog explains how, by using the properties of a non-Newtonian fluid, information is disseminated throughout the body.
Why did Ida Rolf say? “The balanced body does not experience weight due to gravity”
Using Newton’s third law of motion we explain what is happening when gravity is balance by the ground reaction force, giving us ease and poise and grace.
Is there such a thing as Geo-fascia? This started off as a joke at a conference but eventually led to a new understanding of how gravity interacts with the fascial system of the body. It opened up a whole new way of talking about Core Postural Alignment.
