What is Rolfing?
Rolfing is a form of bodywork developed in the 1930's by Dr. Ida Rolf, who received her Ph.D in biochemistry in 1920. Dr Rolf believed that chronic pain is often an expression of an overall structural imbalance that is maintained by restrictions in the body's connective tissue network, otherwise known as fascia.
Dr. Rolf's investigation led to the development of Rolfing; an extremely effective soft tissue approach for releasing chronic stiffness and relieving pain.
