Ultimately, the shapes of our bodies are literally defined by how we move (or don’t move). Fascia is more-or-less a “memory tissue” that records our movement history, and allows us to continue moving in the same manner. Rolfing directly manipulates this network of fascia and establishes new movement patterns which over time crystalize your new shape.

Rolfing is ultimately a process of tidying and removing structural clutter. Lengthening tissues that are too short, separating tissues that are stuck together, shifting blocks and sheets of the body around. This process begins to give the body new options. With more options, the body (which is always looking to be as efficient as possible) naturally begins to find its way “up” into a configuration that more harmoniously relates to gravity. Living in a body that can effectively navigate gravity is a body that has less to do. This inevitably translates to more capacity of the body and mind.

Rolfing is most often delivered as a series of ten sessions. Each session has a different goal, and organizes different regions of the body. This experience is about taking you from your current place to a higher level of order. For those who are ready, the broad-reaching effects of this transformation are profound.
