Charlotte Rolfing ®
Structurally Integrative Bodywork
Rolfing® Structural Integration is an organized system of hands-on soft-tissue manipulation and movement education designed to realign the human structure and improve biomechanical efficiency which tends to decrease pain and tension in most bodies.
Years of physical and emotional demands on the body result in shortening and twisting to compensate and a certain "inner struggle" ensues to keep us upright under given circumstances. This is mainly a body struggling with gravity. Rolfing focuses on lengthening and reorganising the entire body by releasing areas where it is either stuck or held out of balance from lifelong patterns of tension and bracing.
The results of Rolfing are a more aligned and balanced physical body and a greater sense of lift, movement and grace; a feeling of "welcome home to your body".
