Rolfing is a holistic philosophy, science and art that structurally and functionally integrates the body in gravity through myofascial manipulation and movement education. 

Chronic pain, acute trauma, and emotional distress limit ease and function in the body; thus disturbing the balance of our inherent capabilities.  Rolfing supports restoration and maintenance of that balance.

“Rolfing must be painful.”  This popular misconception dates back to a time when structural integrators worked ON clients rather than WITH them.  Rolfing has evolved.  The practice is slow and gentle.  Pain is not the catalyst for change.  Transformative change occurs with realization of individual resources and freedom of choice.  Assisting that transformation is the practice.

“The Ten Series.”  Rolfing is commonly practiced in a series of ten, one-hour sessions conducted weekly or monthly, allowing for sufficient integration time.  Post “ten-work” is available three to six months after an initial series.

Rolfing is a participatory form of bodywork.  Practitioner and recipient attend to structure and function/movement, with both subtle and active intentions.  Your comfort and security is most important.  Form-fitted undergarments or bikini-style swimwear are typical attire for clients throughout the series.  Such attire best supports structural analysis and fascial manipulation.
