Rolfing - Alliance Integrative Medicine

Rolfing® seeks to integrate alignment of the entire body, so movement is grounded in a responsive core, rather than anchored and restricted in an uneasy shell. Developed by biochemist Ida P. Rolf over 50 years ago, Rolfing® can:

Improve posture and promote fluid, graceful movement
Ease chronic pain or discomfort resulting from injury or repetitive motion stress
Improve overall function through stress reduction and increased awareness of self as a whole being

How Does Rolfing® Work?

Rolfing® creates more efficient use of the muscles, helps reduce chronic stress, and can change the body’s structure. One theory is that the practice of Rolfing® balances the body in all directions, from head to toe, integrating layers of connective tissue. By doing so, the body can return to a state of balance, which helps to maximize its functions.

How Does a Rolfing® Treatment Feel?

Rolfing® is a hands-on practice that includes mild and deep myofascial structural work, soft tissue manipulation, and motion enhancement. Because Rolfing® is a holistic technique, clients may experience powerful physical, emotional, and energetic effects.

Because movement education is an essential component of the practice, Rolfing® addresses more efficient transitions while lying down, sitting, standing, walking, and performing daily activities. Patients often experience an improved sense of body awareness.

Although Rolfing® is not painful, it may cause some temporary discomfort. The hands-on treatment varies in intensity, depending on your needs. A Rolfing® therapist may apply sustained pressure to release “stuck” patterns. This “good” pain can lead to increased mobility, creating a deeply satisfying, healing, and transformative experience.

At Alliance Integrative Medicine, our goal is to effect greater ease of motion and freedom for our patients. All of our certified Rolfing® therapists are trained at The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration’s headquarters in Boulder, Colorado — the only school in the United States that certifies Rolfers™.
