Sessions begin with a discussion of your history of injury, pain or limitation. The Rolfer will then observe your alignment in standing before releasing fascial restrictions. Rolfers work directly on the skin, waiting for the tissue to soften and release.
The Ten Series
The ten series involves a series of sessions designed to bring the body's major segments - head, shoulders, thorax, pelvis and legs - toward alignment. It is designed to produce length, front/back balance and support. The series is recommended for people with multiple symptoms, postural issues, and health maintenance.
It is not necessary to go through a 'ten series' to benefit from Rolfing. Some people may require more specific work and a shorter series can be developed with this in mind.
"People say strength and I want to hear balance...The strength idea has effort in it...you need strength that is the result of ease." - Ida Rolf |
