Founded by Dr. Ida Rolf - Rolfing® is a holistic system of soft tissue manipulation and movement education that organizes the whole body in gravity. This "realignment" of posture helps the body feel and work better. It affects the body's structure and alignment by manipulating the myofascial system (connective tissue, or fascia). The movement aspects of this work help to repattern how the nervous system controls our movement, coordination and posture. Research has demonstrated that rolfing® creates more efficient muscle use, allows the body to conserve energy, and creates more economical and refined patterns of movement.

We begin with an intake interview where we discuss why you want to receive SI, your physical history, and how you are currently feeling. This is also a time when I can answer any questions you have about the process. Next I will analyze your body structure and its functioning. To do this I look at you in standing or walking, places hands on your shoulders and hips to feel the alignment of your body and how it is balanced. From the analysis, I form an outline of a treatment plan. At each step of the process we are evaluating the progress of treatment based on your body’s response, and your feedback.

This “recipe” is how I was trained to create long lasting changes in the bosy. The goal of which is to systematically balance and optimize both the structure (shape) and function (movement) of the entire body in gravity over the course of ten sessions. (Most people should start to see the results they are looking for within one to three sessions.)

Each session focuses on freeing restrictions or holdings trapped in a particular region or layer of the body. After each session the client has a focus goal of one particular area. I recommend about 1-2 weeks between each session to allow for you integrate new patterns in your body.
