The Rolfing ten series involves a well planned series of sessions designed to bring the body's major segments - head, shoulders, thorax, pelvis and legs - toward vertical alignment. It is designed to produce length, front/back balance and support.

 

A Typical Rolfing Session

Sessions begin with the Rolfer observing the client's structural alignment in standing, and while walking. The practitioner then works to release restrictions that may be involved in producing the client's symptoms.

In Rolfing, deep strokes are performed slowly, waiting for the tissue to soften, lengthen or release. The client plays an active role in the session, performing different movements to aid in the release of specific areas.

 

Non-Series Work

Sessions that don't conform to the ten series format are available to suit the particular needs of the individual.
