Just like the tires on your car start to wear out when your wheels are out of alignment, poor posture can lead to aches and pains in your body. Rolfing® Structural Integration is not unlike taking your body in for an alignment check.
Rolfing® generally entails a series of 10 sessions, that realign and retrain your body head to toe. We do this primarily by working with the connective tissue in your body, known as fascia. Fascia runs throughout our bodies, like a flexible matrix giving our cells, muscles, organs, etc. their shape. Rolfing sessions usually consist of long slow strokes that free up adhesions between or within structures (muscles, bones, organs, nerves). Often Rolfing sessions will also involve movement repatterning, in which the receiver learns to move in ways that continue to improve posture and comfort.
