About Rolfing® Touch
Listening and Assessing
Before each rolfing® session, the Rolfer tries to understand your current condition and objectives by mindful listening. She assesses your body function by holistically observing how it is organized and moving through space.
Rolfing 10 Sessions
The Rolfer works on you in accordance with Rolfing® 10 Series Recipe, which was developed by Dr. Ida Rolf. This 10-session series, with a gentle approach called Yielding embodiment®, will help you deepen your body awareness, and offer options to move your body effortlessly, in harmony with gravity.
Integration & Implementation
The Rolfer ends each session with cranio-sacral work to integrate your body. Once you get up from the table, she also helps you to implement the new way to move your body by prompting the physical sensation you have discovered during the session. The whole process is a structural integration of your body.

What's gravity got to do with our body?
Is it a sharp pain in the low back when you bend over to tie your shoe? Is it a persistent neck ache that's aggravated by long periods of sitting? If tension, constriction, and pain have become chronic in your life, it is an important signal - a signal that your body is struggling with a structural imbalance.

What's gravity got to do with our body?
Like every other physical structure in the universe, our bodies react to the constant influence of gravity. When we are out of balance, gravity drags us down, just as it drags down a building that has lost its structural integrity. Whether from poor posture, injury, illness, or emotional distress, an unbalanced body is in a constant tug-of-war with gravity.

Rolfing® releases the tension, tightness, and restrictions that are held in the connective tissue - called fascia. Fascia surrounds and penetrates the muscles and every other structure in your body. If you have ever cut into a piece of steak, you have seen the fascia close up - it is the white filmy substance binding muscles together.
