Restore Vitality to Your Body!
Rolfing* is used by professional
and Olympic athletes as well as classical and modern dancers to restore vitality and function to damaged tissue and as a method
of injury prevention. In addition to the direct hands-on manipulation, Rolfing provides the individual with movement and behavioral
education to lessen trauma associated with chronic and acute musculoskeletal complaints.
Rolfing is a Hands-on Process for Change Rolfing is a system of deep-tissue bodywork that brings the
body into a new alignment and establishes better balance, greater flexibility and improved physical abilities. Rolfing works in a series of 10 sessions to release the fibrous
and thickened connective tissue (myofascial system) that influences alignment of the skeletal structure. By releasing the
deep soft-tissue of the body, a person realizes benefits including relief of chronic pain, ease of movement, improved posture
and a a sense of emotional well being.
Rolfing for Injury and Trauma By working with the strain patterns
formed in the connective tissue of the body (fascia or myofascial system), Rolfing directly addresses the issue of compensations
the human structure makes to the adaptations required when compensating for injuries and trauma. These alterations form around
areas of injury leaving deep impressions in the layers of fascial tissue influencing skeletal alignment, joint and muscle
mobility. It is important to note, Rolfiing is a process that works by taking the most superficial layers of tissue first
and then working deeper as the body surrenders and softens to the touch. By working in this manner, pain and discomfort is
eliminated and the tissue of the client's body is encouraged to change.
