If you want to learn more about this treatment technique, simply read on to have your questions answered:
What is Rolfing?
Rolfing is a holistic system of soft tissue manipulation and movement education, which helps to organize the entire body and promote overall wellness. Rolfing aims to integrate full alignment of the body, which helps to ground movement within a responsive core. This practice has been around for over 50 years and has helped many patients to achieve greater wellbeing.
How does Rolfing work?
Rolfing works to ensure that the body’s muscles are used more efficiently, as well as changing the body’s structure to reduce chronic stress and other issues. Rolfing aims to balance the body in all directions, integrating various layers of connective tissue to maximize the body’s ability to remain in a state of balance. During a Rolfing treatment, we will apply mild and deep myofascial structural work, soft tissue manipulation, and motion enhancement to help you achieve greater ease of motion and minimize discomfort.
What types of issues can Rolfing help?
Rolfing is able to help with a variety of issues, as it aims to improve alignment throughout the entire body. Receiving these treatments can help to improve posture, promote more fluid movement, reduce chronic pain, assist with stress management, and more. If you have tried more conventional treatments for your health needs only to find that you end up right back where you started, it may be time to try something different!
How does Rolfing feel?
Although Rolfing is not painful, it may sometimes involve some discomfort, as the hands-on treatment varies in intensity based on your needs. During your treatment, we apply sustained pressure to help release harmful patterns, which although sometimes uncomfortable, creates increased mobility and improved wellness going forward.
Who should consider Rolfing?
Rolfing can be a great option for a wide variety of people with different situations, as it focuses on your individual needs to create the best possible outcomes. Whether you are looking to minimize discomfort that you regularly deal with, improve your range of motion, or try something new to help your body work at its best, Rolfing may be an excellent option for you.
