What is Rolfing?

Rolfing is a manual therapy designed to rebalance the body’s major segments, the head, shoulders, chest, pelvis, legs, spine, into vertical alignment by working with the fascia. Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and suspends every bone, ligament, tendon, muscle, blood vessel, nerve fiber and organ in the body. Fascia thus creates a web of support, connection and communication throughout the whole body.

Classically, Rolfing is a sequence of 10 sessions spaced about 1-2 weeks apart and works in all tissues levels from surface to deep. In my practice, most of my work is done in integrative single sessions which applies the Rolfing theory and technique for more immediate attention to a particular area of the body.

The outcome of both the Rolfing 10 series and individual Rolfing sessions is to release chronic patterns of stress, tension and dysfunction in the structure which improves posture, creates more efficient movement with quicker recovery and an increase of energy in effort to expand the human potential and power of balance in body, mind and spirit.

What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is a manual therapy that increases blood flow in the muscles and works to release adhesions, tension and tighness in the muscles.

Deep tissue is great for general health and rejuvenation of the system for all lifestyles, maintaining strength and suppleness in the muscles, pain relief, and deep relaxation.
