ABOUT ROLFING®

Rolfing® is body education and physical manipulation. It can increase your sense of well-being by bringing your body into an easier alignment with gravity. Following Rolfing® , you often experience greater range of motion, improved coordination and a sense of rejuvenation.

Although it can be beneficial to receive just one session, Rolfing® is traditionally and ideally performed over a series of ten sessions. This initial series never needs to be repeated. Most people continue to receive "tune-ups" or advanced work from time to time.

Rolfing® was developed over several decades, spanning to the late 1970's, by Dr. Ida P. Rolf. Dr Rolf recognized the vital roles that gravity and connective tissue play in the body's organization. Connective tissue wraps and connects all of our muscles, bones, and organs. It supports the soft tissues, positions the bones, determines the direction of muscle pulls and movement and gives the body its shape. A Rolfer™ works to free restrictions in this connective tissue matrix while focusing on increasing the internal support, adaptability, lift and groundedness of the individual.

The Rolfing® touch varies from very gentle and almost indiscernible to deep manipulation of the connective tissue. It can be an intense experience but it should never be painful.
