The Rolf Method is like deep tissue massage, physical therapy and chiropractics combined. It improves the quality of posture, movement and balance.
By releasing the fasciathe body enters structural integration or harmony within the field of gravity and you get relief with out drugs or surgery.
Rolfers move the fascia to resolve pain, improve coordination and performance while restoring flexibility and balance.
It's called Rolfing because Ida Rolf, PhD, designed it.
Dr. Rolf recognized that the body is a system of seamless tissues rather than a collection of separate parts. These connective tissues called fascia surround, support and penetrate all of the muscles, bones, nerves and organs.
What is Rolf Movement?
It's similar to Physical Therapy in treating injury, disease, or deformity by using physical methods to enhance the way the muscles work. The focus is to reprogram the order in which the muscles fire.
Much like Pilates, Rolf Movement is designed to improve physical strength, flexibility, posture and enhance mental awareness.
Movement Therapy teaches your brain to utilize the field of gravity throughout your bone structure allowing your muscles to redefine how they function.
