Benefits of Rolfing

Perform better and hurt less

Rolfing enables athletes, dancers, performers, and musicians to use their bodies more efficiently, getting greater range of motion with less effort. Rolfing can take you to the next level of performance.

Stay younger longer

Rolfing can help seniors who don't want to give in to aging. The operative concept as we age isn't that our bodies "wear out:, but that we must "use it or lose it." One goal of Rolfing is to enable you to keep using it.

Reset after emotional change

Often Rolfing gives the body a chance to reset after a period of emotional growth. Humans bury trauma in their fascia, and Rolfing often releases it. Clients sometimes experience strong emotional response.

Recover from accidents and surgeries

Rolfing is often used to restore balance and normal movement after injury, accident, or surgery. The body responds to physical trauma by building up a natural protective "cast" in the fascia, and the protection can persist long after it is no longer needed. Rolfing can remove the cast.

Deal with chronic pain

Rolfing is effective with most shoulder pain, neck pain, and back pain. The combination of Rolfing and cold laser therapy can often give significant relief from systemic fascial conditions like fibromyalgia. In cases in which cures do not seem possible, Rolfing can help manage symptoms and pain.

Reduce tingling and numbness

Rolfing can help relieve the repetitive stresses that come from work or from doing things we love. Where many treatments attempt to deal directly with the nerve, Rolfing tries to find and address whatever is causing the tingling. Cold laser is often effective with nerve issues.

Eliminate acute pain

The combination of Rolfing, Craniosacral Therapy, and Cold Laser is usually effective with issues like TMJ, plantar fasciitis, and low back pain.

Stand taller and move easily

Rolfing can help you work with gravity instead of against it. Most 10-Series clients gain both actual and perceived height. A common question from friends unaware of the Rolfing is, "Are you taller?"
