Have you tried chiropractic, physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, surgery or drugs, and nothing seems to work? You haven't tried everything until you've tried the Ultimate Rolf Experience!

Rolfing - Structural Integration was developed by Dr. Ida P. Rolf.  Dr. Rolf was a biochemist who studied osteopathy, homeopathy, yoga, movement and the Alexander technique.  She was the founder of Rolfing, Structural Integration and formed the Original  Rolf Guild for Rolfing - Structural Integration Practitioners who had studied with her.

Ida Rolf's Original Rolf Method of Structural Integration (also referred to as “Rolfing”) realigns the body into its optimal organization.  This is achieved by assessing the body's structure and seeing the places where the muscles and fascia are frozen in place.  This is followed by a very specific system tailored to the individual of ungluing those fixed tissues until they are completely released, allowing the body to stand and move in a balanced structurally integrated position.

Rolfing, Massage, and Chiropractic

Rolfing differs from massage in that massage is not designed to change an individuals structural patterns. Massage may feel good when receiving and is soon lost because the fascial restrictions have not been released and reintegrated systematically. Chiropractic, like massage, does not address the fascial restrictions that envelope the bone and entire structure like Rolfing, thus after a manipulation the adjustment has lost its hold. Neither massage nor Chiropractic apart from Rolfing can accomplish the results. Massage and Chiropractic can be helpful, but can have more value when coupled with Rolfing-Structural Integration. What differentiates Rolfing and Chiropractic manipulation is that Rolfing directionally addresses the connective tissue that envelopes each vertebral segment and Chiropractic addresses only the osseous segment itself which is why after a Chiropractic adjustment the bone may drift back to its prior position.

WHO IT HELPS

Just about anyone! I have worked with people with steel rods in their backs, metal plates in their heads, pins and screws in their joints, and one person with as many as 5 neck, and 5 back operations! Even though these folks could not receive “as much” benefit as those who do NOT have all of that hardware in their bodies, even these folks said that it helped them tremendously, and they came for many sessions!

  •   Folks hoping to avoid a surgery. Some avoided the surgery altogether, and others had to have the surgery. It just depends on the individual person, and their particular case.
  • People with chronic problems who have had them for years and years, people who have been in car accidents, to people who are in perfect health, and want to reach even higher levels of benefits, ranging from Structural/physical, physiological, psychological, emotional, spiritual health, and all of those folks in between.
  • Children, who will benefit from a “head start”, in their growth on all levels, and help with their self confidence, to the Elderly, where they can regain some of their youth, vitality, and zest for life, and everyone in between.
  •  People who want to look and feel years younger, improve flexibility, strength, stamina, balance, energy, range of motion, joint mobility, self confidence, and ease and grace.
  • People who want to slim and trim, can see their hips, thighs and waist grow smaller as they become structurally aligned. They will also notice their face, neck, and arms tone and slim down.
  • Athletes (some professional football and baseball teams have their own “in house” Rolf / Structural Integration Practitioner), weight lifters in competition, (or not), runner and dancers
  • Mothers/women who need some self care, laborers, body workers, etc.

Rolfing - Structural Integration is an active process between the client and the practitioner.  The client participates in active breath, movement, visualization and feedback in general.  Rolfing - Structural Integration is movement re-education.  It is not massage or a medical treatment.

Begin to see and feel immediate results!  Better posture, deeper breathing, greater flexibility and joint mobility, and feeling more comfortable inside the body are a few advantages of receiving this work.  The results are cumulative and permanent. This is a transformational experience!
