Rolfing

Imagine living in a flexible and balanced body that is free of pain, stiffness and chronic stress. Imagine your body at ease with itself and able to adapt to life’s physical, mental and emotional challenges.

This is what you can expect from Rolfing, the highly respected process of soft tissue manipulation that balances and realigns your body by releasing tension and strain.

If you think your body should feel better and move more easily, then Rolfing may be right for you. Rolfing can resolve pain and discomfort from many different causes, including those related to the lingering effects of accidents, illnesses, trauma, repetitive motion injuries, aging and strain.

Rolfing is for everyone, for people of all ages and all walks of life — especially those seeking to live a healthy lifestyle.

What is Rolfing

Rolfing, otherwise known as Structural Integration, is a dynamic method of therapeutic bodywork and movement re-education that really works. Rolfing creates changes in a person’s physical structure and sculpts a body to a more natural, effortless alignment and working order. Rolfing goes much deeper than traditional massage. It is a whole systems approach to re-integrating your entire body.

How Rolfing Works

Linking all internal structures within the human frame is the fascial web. This plastic connective tissue unites the structure of the inner form and divides its individual functioning units.

Fascia is constantly changing and adapting in response to demands placed on an individual's body. It reacts to particular physical damage – to a joint for example – by producing extra material to enhance stability and support. However, it can produce more than is necessary. In time, rather than stabilizing movement it can actually reduce mobility, leading to a changed postural position and altered patterns of movement.

Rolfing works by lengthening and freeing the soft tissue fascial wrapping around the muscles that lock the body into shortened, compressed and twisted patterns. Rolfing makes use of the fact that these fascial wrappings are plastic, which means they are malleable, and therefore the fascial wrappings have a capacity for adaptive change. Through the Rolfing touch, the elasticity and sliding capacity of the tissue can be restored and the body realigned in such a way that it is can function with more ease.
