Rolfing Structural Integration
Breathe Deep, Stand Tall, Sit with Ease.
Rolfing® is an approach to releasing tension that is held in the connective tissue of the body, called fascia. Sometimes compared to glue or fabric, fascia gives the body its own unique shape - it literally holds everything together! Fascia is found around every cell, muscle, nerve bundle and bone in the body. Through a variety of life experiences this connective tissue can become bunched together (think scar tissue), pulled or twisted, creating an imbalance in the body which can lead to pain, stiffness or a lack of mobility, and possibly even illness.
Rolfers ‘see’ the body in a unique way - as it relates to gravity. This relationship can be as complex as the body itself, so we use a framework called ‘The 10 Sessions’, which aims at resolving the root of inconsistencies and imbalances through an embodied educational process. This framework addresses the body's structure (how we look), coordination (how we move) and perception (how we use our senses), giving the client agency to navigate through space from a place of awareness and ease, changing one’s understanding of physical reality.

Benefits of Rolfing
Rolfing realigns and balances our physical structure, improving posture and alignment. By addressing imbalances and misalignments in the body, Rolfing helps individuals stand, move, and sit more efficiently, reducing strain on muscles and joints.
Rolfing therapy can alleviate chronic pain such as back pain, neck pain, and joint discomfort. By releasing tension in the fascia and reorganising the body's structure, Rolfing helps to reduce pain caused by imbalances and misalignments. The nervous system is calmed and people experience less stress.
Rolfing sessions involve gentle manipulation of connective tissue to increase flexibility and range of motion. This improved mobility enhances athletic performance, daily activities, and overall physical comfort.
Rolfing is an education in body awareness: movements, sensations, and alignment. This heightened body awareness helps to prevent injuries by encouraging adaptablity in movement patterns.
Emotional Release
Long-Term Benefits
Rolfing releases stored tension in the body's tissues due to emotional stress and trauma. Through Rolfing sessions, clients often experience emotional catharsis and greater well-being.
The effects of Rolfing are long-lasting. The structural changes achieved during Rolfing sessions endure beyond the completion of the therapy resulting in long-term improvements in posture, alignment, better breathing and overall physical comfort
