Your Rolfing practitioner will use his hands, fingers and elbows to release fascial restrictions allowing for a more balanced structure. Some movement and postural cues will be also used to affect those changes.

When our structure is out of allignment, our muscles and eventually our fascia is recruited to help support us. Eventually those muscles and the fascia starts to complain. You'll feel this as a low grade (sometimes sharp) chronic pain.

Massage alleviates the pain temporarily, Chiropractic may help realign the various bones. But until the way that you are using your body changes anything you do will only be temporary. Rolfing changes how we sit , stand and move and with these changes come less pain, more confidence in our bodies to support us.

During a session, you can expect to receive hands-on manipulation, movement education, and breathwork exercises to help realign your body and release tension. The sessions usualy last between 75 and 90 minutes and are mainly performed on a massage table. The clients will wear a bra or sports bra, shorts or underwear. Because we are affecting the fascia, slippery or thick clothing can impede the work.

 The "Rolfing® uniform" is typically a bra and underwear or shorts and a tank top, whatever is most comfortable . The technique works best when we can make contact with the skin.
