What is Rolfing?
Rolfing is a form of bodywork developed in the 1950's by Ida Rolf Ph.D. Rolfing practitioners ("Rolfers") work primarily with restrictions in the body's connective tissue network known as fascia. This network is like a web of fibres, such that restriction in one part of the web can effect the tension and arrangement of fibres elsewhere.
Rolfing consists of some simple ideas about human structure: we function better when aligned with gravity; and working with fascia improves this alignment. Rolfing addresses restrictions in the fascia caused by accidents and surgery, poor posture, overuse, and prolonged tension from stress.
