Rolfing is the recognized expert bodywork system that sequentially addresses structural imbalance in the body.  We use a combined approach of soft tissue manipulation, movement education, and personal coaching to optimize balance, and efficiency.  As the body is organized in gravity, structure determines function, and symptoms resolve.  Rolfing is wholistic, works with organic systems, rebuilding your beauty and balance in symmetry and grace.  Click to see what people are saying.



FAQs


WHO GETS ROLFED?

  1. -Chronically tight muscles: anyone seeking greater body awareness, now recognized as essential to health and the feeling of aliveness.  Often people come in to optimize performance or due to symptom or injury:

  2. -Repetitive stress injury: Rolfing is proven effective in reducing repetitive stress injury (e.g.  carpal tunnel syndrome) in the workplace, and reducing the amount of energy involved in movement.

  3. -Athletes: improved efficiency optimizes performance

  4. -Yoga: body awareness, postural awareness, increased range of motion optimize yoga practice

  5. -Injury: sprains, falls, whiplash, breaks, etc. produce lasting structural change remediable with proper attention to the issue.

  6. -Bad Posture: most of us are parked at a computer or at a desk longer than our hunter / gatherer bodies are designed for.  Flexors get tight, shoulders round, back pain ensues.   Skillful intervention and proper maintenance will maintain a balanced open system.

tensions in soft tissue, Rolfers are structural engineers of the human body, balancing tension systems and weight segments, aligning joints.  Like Chiropractors, but we work with the whole soft tissue system and movement training.  Like massage therapists, but with deep training in an expert system specific to optimizing balance and function.  Like physical therapists, but working with the whole body rather than local injury rehab.  Using a holistic approach, we create whole body balance treating causes rather than symptoms.  Using soft tissue manipulation techniques and movement education, I will help you restore balance, efficiency, and grace, so you look and feel your best.


Rolfing is a sequential transformational process.  We strategize a series based on proven methods, your needs and goals. 


WHAT WILL WE DO?

Using soft tissue manipulation, movement education, and assisted stretching, we balance the tensions pulling the body out of balance.  Rolfing is traditionally done over a 10 series to strategically and methodologically address your whole body, it’s relationship to your mind, itself, and gravity.


WHY BOTHER WITH POSTURAL INTEGRATION?

With the body again balanced, noticeable relief comes of no longer battling gravity.  Symmetry is beautiful.  Upright posture looks and feels great.  Moving with efficiency appears as grace.


WHY ROLFING?

Widely recognized as the preeminent expert system in structural integration, Rolfers are required to meet the highest standard of practice, meet stringent qualifying, and training standards.  As a tradition and expert system, Rolfing has been in development for over 50 years.


IS IT PAINFUL?

Rolfing seeks the deepest accessible layer where change occurs.  This level is different for each person, and changes with deeper integration.  Like yoga
