What is ROLFING® structural integration?

"One individual may experience his losing fight with gravity as a sharp pain in the back, another as
the unflattering contour of his body, another as constant fatigue, and yet another as an unrelenting threatening environment. Those over forty may call it old age; yet all these signals may be pointing
to a single problem so prominent in their own structures and the structures of others that it has been ignored: they are off-balance; they are all at war with gravity." – Dr. Ida P. Rolf

Rolfing helps the body be better aligned in gravity. It does not focus on one precise area of pain but rather sees the body as a whole. Even while working locally, the Rolfer™ thinks globally.

Rolfing manipulates the soft or connective tissue in your body. Connective tissue or fascia is a complex network present throughout your body, from the bone level to the skin. Through gentle pressure and strokes we free the tissue from adhesions and tensions that have appeared throughout the years and your body can regain length, elasticity, alignment and balance.

Rolfing is usually practiced in a series of 10 sessions. During those 10 sessions we work together on the entire body.

Sessions 1 through 3 are referred to as the sleeve sessions. They teach your body how to respond to Rolfing, start unwrapping the layers of tension, and help find breath and support.

Sessions 4 through 7 are referred to as the core sessions. They focus on the mid-line and structures close to the spine to give you more postural lift and length.

Sessions 8 through 10 focus on the alignment of the body as a whole; not only as a group of independently working parts.
