Rolfing works by balancing the body in all
directions by integrating all layers and types of connective tissue, also
known as Structural Integration. During sessions, Heather will watch you
walk and move. To facilitate seeing the body and remaining draped, swimsuits
or similar wear is worn. Table work will be interactive - you will be asked to
make small movements while strokes are applied which will encourage economy of
movement and increase flexibility. We will work together at a rate your body
dictates to reinforce support from the ground up in your structure.
Rolfing has been known to drastically reduce and sometimes erase chronic
pain long-term. Athletes often enjoy a better game after Rolfing because
they are able to do more while exerting less.
Research has demonstrated 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. Research also shows that Rolfing significantly reduces chronic stress
and promotes changes in the body structure; it also showed that Rolfing enhances
neurological functioning.
