Rolfing is "A process and technique of preparing the body to be able to accept the gravitational field of the earth for support, by working on the soft tissue to loosen the body blocks and allow them to allign vertically" I Rolf (Rolfing® Founder).
When Doctor Ida Rolf pioneered the development of the highly skilled manipulation of the connective tissue, more than 50 years ago, She named her work Structural Integration. This later became known as Rolfing®. Rolfing® Structural Integration is a comprehensive system of physically applied manipulation of the connective tissue, and movement education. It is an original and scientifically proven system, administered by a qualified practitioner, in a series of 10 sessions.
With the object of balancing and re-aligning the body by releasing tension and strain patterns, caused by physical trauma, sickness, emotional difficulties or continued poor posture. Part of how Rolfing® affects this is by engaging the body's ability to heal itself. Our primary role is to remove obstacles to the process which allows this to occur. As these pattern restrictions are released, the body changes shape, and functions with greater mobility and ease, thus creating an effortlessly maintained, more upright posture.
