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.
Look better. Feel better.
Rolfing improves the body.
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.
In contrast to traditional massage, Rolfing aims to achieve lasting structural and functional change.
“Strength that has effort in it
is not what you need;
you need the strength
that is the result of ease,”

Rolfing Structural Integration
A Rolfing session lasts around 75 minutes. 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.
Some Rolfing clients choose to document the positive physical changes with before and after photos.
The basic Rolfing series usually consists of an ongoing sequence of either three or ten sessions, which are systematically connected to one another 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 months after a completing a Rolfing series.
A normal first Rolfing session costs €60. I offer two payment levels for further sessions so that Rolfing is doable for most everyone. I also offer a discounted 10-series – you have until your third session to decide.
