Rolfing, Structural Integration and Massage Therapy

Rolfing® structural integration is hands-on bodywork that focuses on aligning the body. Those who are certified to practice this type of bodywork are known as Rolfers®.

Structural imbalances of the body, can lead to chronic pain and disability or inhibit performance. An example is poor posture manifesting itself as back pain. Rolfers address the root causes of these imbalances through manipulation of connective tissue and movement education. Their aim is to realign and balance the body’s structure and to optimize movement.

Rolfing® structural integration differs from other types of bodywork in that the entire body structure is assessed on how it interrelates. In this way, a Rolfer will focus on the primary causes of problems, and not on secondary symptomatic relief, so the results tend to be long lasting.

Rolfers® treat athletes, moms and expectant mothers, musicians, tradespeople, professionals, kids and seniors. Rolfing structural integration can be especially helpful for enhancing sports performance and treating chronic pain.
