In a search to resolve some long-standing structural imbalances in my body, I came across a unique bodywork technique called Rolfing. While it has a peculiar name, as a therapy it works wonders!
What the heck is Rolfing?
Developed by Dr. Ida Rolf, Rolfing, or Structural Integration, is designed to unwind whole body patterns of restriction and restore the body’s balanced relationship with gravity. Dr. Rolf’s theory was that the cause of human discomfort, both physical and emotional, may lie in our internal connective tissue and the relationship it has with the earth’s gravitational field. Through a series of 10 sessions, called a "recipe", Rolfing works to rebuild the body from the ground up.Structural Integration can help:
- poor posture, chronic aches and pains, accidents and trauma, everyday stress and strain
- athletes, musicians, performers, people looking to enhance performance of all kinds
- people interested in exploring personal growth, and improving overall health and well-being
