In a Rolfing session, the function of the body’s fascial network is improved using targeted manual pressure. This in turn encourages a more upright posture with less effort, making the influence of gravity a positive one rather than a source of discomfort and dysfunction. The goal is a more relaxed and upright posture, easier movement and freer breathing.
An integrated structure – the true aim of Rolfing – is free of dysfunctional joint loading and connective tissue strain. The resulting improvement in integration often eliminates the deeper cause of chronic physical complaints; a welcome side effect, but not the actual goal of a Rolfing session or a series of Rolfing sessions. This is because the structural integration brought about by Rolfing is always a holistic and individual process for the whole person, and not a treatment for specific health problems.
Bettering oneself is an active process.
Becoming worse happens on its own.
First, your structure (i.e. your posture) and the way you move are analyzed. This results in an individualized progression of sessions, which takes place while you are lying down as well as sitting, standing and walking. With precise and sensitively applied pressure, your tissue is released and reshaped so that your bodily structure can move closer and closer to a more vertical internal alignment. You support this process through focused attention, conscious breathing and guided movements.
It is possible to document the positive results with photos taken before and after a series of ten sessions.
This seminal work made its debut in 1977. In this new edition, the late Dr. Rolf illustrates her theory and practice of Structural Integration, which brings the body into alignment and balance by manipulation of the connective tissue. Rolfing has helped thousands of people to stand taller, look better, move with greater ease, and have a greater sense of vitality and well-being.
The basic Rolfing series usually consists of an ongoing sequence of either three or ten sessions, which are systematically structured and tailored to your individual needs. Each session builds on the last. Individual sessions are of course always possible, likewise scheduling one or more "refresher" session some time after a completing a Rolfing series.
A Rolfing session lasts about 75 minutes and costs €75. I offer a discounted 10-series for new and returning clients – you have until your third session to take advantage of this offer. The per-session rate is always discounted for university students and retirees. I do not work with young people under 18 years of age.
