Ida Rolf. Rolf's genius was her recognition that the body can be changed by manipulating connective tissue, and that it is the entire body's relationship to gravity that is most important.

Rolfing is a sophisticated, scientifically validated system designed to reorganize the body and enhance its patterns of shape and movement into a more graceful and efficient relationship with gravity. Over a series of sessions, the Rolfer and client work together to establish changes in the form, balance, and function of the body.

This frees up trapped and aggravated nerves, restores normal length, elasticity and fluidity to the connective tissues and muscle, and provides more freedom in the joints. In my practice, freeing tethered and irritated nerves is always on the forefront throughout the process. My main focus was how the tissues remodeled in response to different mechanical stresses. When I first experienced Rolfing SI in , I was so impressed with the profound results that I decided to further explore this powerful process and make Rolfing my new career.

Injury, illness or emotional traumas leave imprints on our structure, which are seen as strain patterns in the myofascial connective tissue network. The connective tissue becomes tight, bunched up and fibrous to compensate for the stress that it feels due to chronic muscle tensions.

When the tissue becomes sticky and stiff, mobility and alignment are decreased, nerves become trapped, and pain ensues, forcing us to function with more limited options in movement.

This wastes energy. This, in turn, affects the way we feel and the way we present ourselves in the world. Rolfers are trained in body reading and can see the strain patterns and relationships that affect the whole body. For example, strain and counter-rotations in your feet and legs i.

Twisting of the shoulder girdle and strain in the arms can affect the neck and thorax. Once better alignment and tensional balance is achieved, gravity helps to give us a lift instead of pulling us more out of balance. What Is Rolfing?
