Rolfing

Structural Integration works to lengthen, stretch, and soften this tissue to restore postural balance, ease of movement, and a feeling of being more at home in your own body. It is practiced in an organized series of sessions or individual sessions within a framework that is designed to restore postural balance by aligning and integrating the body in gravity.

Rolfing focuses on the connective tissue, or fascia, of the body. Fascia surrounds muscles, groups of muscles, blood vessels, organs, and nerves, binding some structures together while permitting others to slide smoothly over each other. Fascia is designed to be both strong and elastic, to support and to and move freely with muscles and bones. Injury, stress, work-related, repetitive movements and the effects of aging can cause fascia to lose its elasticity and become shorter, tighter, and more dense. Tightened fascia pulls our muscles and skeleton out of proper alignment and posture, which can cause pain, discomfort, and fatigue.

Dr. Rolf taught her process of Structural Integration as a series of sessions. The usual number is 10-12, with an interval of one week to one month between sessions.

The first visit is a consultation. This will include information about the process, and what to expect. You will also be asked to fill out an information form and bring it with you to the appointment so that you and your Rolfer can discuss relevant medical history before beginning sessions. There is also time to discuss any questions you may have. The cost of the initial consultation is $90.00.

After the consultation, you can decide how you would like to schedule your series. Most people come every two weeks, but anything from a week to a month apart works well. This allows your body time to integrate the changes from the previous session. You can choose the time that feels most comfortable between sessions. Sessions are $175.00.
