"When the body becomes more aligned through Rolfing, the posture can become taller, straighter and free from chronic pain" - Dr. Ida P Rolf
What is the typical process?
The actual Rolfing process is conducted over a series of 10 carefully devised sessions with each session lasting from 75 to 90 minutes. The sessions are typically spaced a week or two apart so the process takes from 2 to 4 months to complete.The sessions are cumulative and each session builds on the work of the previous sessions. You do not need to commit to the ten sessions at the start and most people experience positive changes in just one session. Within the first three sessions most people will know if Rolfing provides them with what they are seeking.
How does Rolfing differ from Chiropractic and Massage?
Chiropractors work to re-align bones and tend to use high velocity thrusting methods. However if the patterns in the soft tissue are not addressed then the bones will continue to be pulled out of alignment.Massage focuses on relaxing individual muscles and detoxification.
Rolfing looks at changing the construction and organisation of the
whole body's structure.
Do the changes from Rolfing last?
Yes! Photographs taken of client's years after the Basic Ten Series show that changes are still present and structure often improved. Keep in mind however, as life changes, bodies change in response. Any injuries, accidents, lengthy illnesses and emotional stress may necessitate additional work.What specific symptoms is Rolfing recognized to help?
