Services: Rolfing

Rolfing is a lot of things, but it is mostly about body alignment in gravity. Rolfing organizes the body around a vertical line, allowing gravity to support, nurture and maintain the body in 3-dimensional space. It is not a technique or a series of techniques, but rather a vision of the body's design. It helps the body so that gravity works with you instead of against you.

In a ten-session "recipe" developed by Dr. Ida Rolf over the course of decades, a Rolfer uses hands-on bodywork to realign the body by easing and lengthening the soft tissue (fascia) that holds the bones in place. As these soft-tissue structures become healthier and better nourished due to improved circulation, they adjust to the most comfortable and efficient positions possible, allowing the entire skeletal structure to align itself more efficiently. This leaves you feeling lighter, springier, and more "centered," with an improved range of motion in your joints and an increased ability to stand and move comfortably.
