Structural Integration

Rolfing is a form of bodywork. The body is really one ubiquitous sheet of connective tissue, or fascia, and shortness in one area and long, tightness in another, creates pulling like a snagged knit sweater. These unbalanced areas are manifestations of patterns that we have developed over time.
Patterns are created by beliefs, habits, trauma, surgeries, genetics and our environmental surroundings. Through myofascial manipulation with fingers, knuckles, forearms, or elbows, a Rolfer can manipulate tissue and help to balance structure. Awareness is sparked and then the nervous system learns a new way to move and function through a changed perception.   read more
