Rolfing is the name coined for the original system of body work developed by Dr. Ida P. Rolf. It can and does make dramatic changes in a person's physical structure. Rolfing has an unequaled and unprecedented ability to dramatically alter a person's posture and structure. Professional athletes, dancers, children, business people and people from all walks of life have benefited from Rolfing. People seek Rolfing as a way to ease pain and chronic stress, and improve performance in their professional and daily activities. It's estimated that more than 1 million people have received Rolfing work.Rolfers believe that the shape of the body reflects how well it is operating and how balanced it is. The general goal of Rolfing is to bring the body (head, neck, torso, pelvis, legs, and feet), into a balanced and supportive relationship with one another. As this is achieved the body will no longer be "battling" the ever present pull of gravity, in fact it will be "lifted" by the tensional soft tissue system. Research has demonstrated that Rolfing creates a more efficient use of the muscles, allows the body to conserve energy, and creates more economical and refined patterns of movement. Research also shows that Rolfing significantly reduces chronic stress and makes postural changes in the body's structure.Traditionally, clients receive a basic 10-session sequence of Rolfing. This gives me the opportunity to work systematically and comprehensively in releasing the fascial patterns in the client's entire body. A second option that I offer is what Rolfers call "fix-it" work. These are anywhere from 1-3 sessions in length and address some issue that you feel you have (shoulder problems, headaches, backaches) that have an origin in fascial restrictions. Your health and well being has much more to do with keeping your body systems in balance and maintaining that harmony throughout life. Rolfing is a therapy that can help you restore and maintain your vitality and life force.
