Rolfing
Whether from poor habits, chronic stress, past injuries, surgeries, and persistent discomfort, Rolfing is designed to help you feel and move better by addressing the chronic patterns of tension and bracing in your body.
Live’s bumps and bruises, either physically or mentally, inevitably alters how we organize ourselves. These patterns can become deeply ingrained—even long after they’ve fulfilled their purpose to adapt and protect —to the point that we’ve lost whatever fluidity we once had. Ever thought to yourself how for your age you really should have more vitality? Yeah, well, your intuition isn’t wrong.
What To Expect During A Session
With every session, we begin with an assessment of your structure taken, standing and walking, to strategize and tailor the session to address your individual needs. This takes place with you wearing your sportswear or everyday undergarments for me to see how you move and have access to the areas we will be working. During the treatment, your awareness will be at work and periodically you’ll be asked to stand and move around to assess the effects of the areas just worked. This allows you to integrate the new sensations of spaciousness and fluidity.
While individual Rolfing sessions can help address specific issues it’s best utilized over a series of sessions. Again, what we’re doing here is breaking established habits of tension and bracing. While you’re no doubt motivated to change some patterns require more work, approached differently than the last attempt. Rolfing is a systematic approach. Meaning, the treatments are designed so that each session builds on the previous one, eventually decompressing all of you, from head to toe. There are specific goals we have for each area of the body, optimizing the way each part interacts with the others with the intention to leave you “structurally integrated.”
