Rolfing involves rolfers to use their fingers, knuckles, elbows, to give the therapy. Dr. Rolf developed this technique after being inspired from Yoga, osteopathy and physical therapy.
Structural Integration is sought through several different techniques developed at the Rolf Institute, there Rolfers try to find out impediments that obstruct the body’s natural course of movements, then efforts are made to repair this course of movement and alter it in a way to give the body a different and attractive posture as well as smooth metabolism.
Pain during rolfing is often mistaken for soft tissue injury, which it is not, rolfers often insist that for the pain should exist for rolfing to be really effective, clients are often asked to breathe within each technique, breathing enhances further effects of rolfing.
Rolfers are personnel trained in rolfing, which are aware of techniques in rolfing.
Each rolfing session might last only 90 minutes, there are a total of 10 sessions, sometimes these are more depending on the rolfer.
Rolfing beings with photographing your posture, so after the therapy your old posture and new posture can be compared to show you the results of rolfing. Also for the initial session rolfer will examine your body and try to find out the areas which will require more work. |
