Rolfing® Structural Integration
This hands-on manipulation of the connective tissue was developed 50 years ago. People seek Rolfing as a way to ease pain and discomfort from many different causes including back pain, repetitive motion injury, trauma and aging. It also relieves stress and improves performance in professional and daily activities. A Rolfing practitioner uses mild, direct pressure release holdings of fascia, the body’s internal system of flexible support that surrounds every muscle fiber, encases all joints and has a role in the nervous system. The slow, deep strokes stimulate sensory neurons of the muscle nerve and trigger the nervous system to reduce tension. Thus, the body finds health through the re-establishment of balance. Studies show that Rolfing creates a more efficient use of the muscles, allows the body to conserve energy, and creates more economical and refined patterns of movement. Findings also show it significantly improves alignment and enhances neurological function.
