Thanks for visiting my Rolfing site. I’ve tried to create a site that has as much information as you’ll need to learn about Rolfing, get a sense of me as a practitioner, and give you a resource to dig a little deeper about how Rolfing can fit for you. Get in touch! I’m happy to answer questions, schedule a free consultation, or schedule a session.
Rolfing® Structural Integration is a system of soft tissue manipulation and movement education.
Ida Rolf believed that our physical form – our posture, or structure – is not stuck in place. The way your body has become molded in place over time – with the accompanying slumping shoulders, chronic back pain, restricted movement, or an inability to relax – can be changed, at almost any point in life.
The goal of Rolfing is to change you body’s structure so that you can rediscover, or find for the first time, an easier, healthier sense of balance and equilibrium.
Benefits of Rolfing:
Help with chronic pain
Increased mobility
Improved posture and appearance
Enhanced athletic performance
Greater sense of well-being
“Some individuals may perceive their losing fight with gravity as a sharp pain in their back, others as the unflattering contour of their body, others as a constant fatigue, yet others as an unrelentingly threatening environment. Those over 40 may call it old age. And yet all these signals may be pointing to a single problem, so prominent in their own structure, as well as others, that it has been ignored: they are off balance. They are at war with gravity.”
–Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D.
