Rolfing, or Structural Integration, is a form of bodywork that focuses on reorganizing the body's connective tissue (fascia) to improve alignment, function, and overall well-being. It was developed by Dr. Ida Rolf and uses deep tissue manipulation to realign the body within gravity.

How does Rolfing work?

Certified Rolfers use hands-on techniques including their hands, knuckles, and elbows to release tension in fascia and bring the body into better alignment. This process helps relieve pain, increase flexibility, and improve movement patterns.

What are the benefits of Rolfing?

Rolfing can help improve posture and alignment, reduce pain and inflammation, enhance flexibility and range of motion, improve breathing and circulation, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase energy and vitality.
