Just one Rolfing session will result in dramatic changes for you, but if you want to really dig in for the greatest possible benefits the full series of ten sessions is a great option to consider! The focus of the sessions are described in more depth here:

Sessions 1-3

The first three sessions are called the superficial sessions. They work with the most superficial fascia or wrapping of the body to release holding from the outermost layers and create space for the “core” sessions that follow.

Sessions 4-7

Sessions four through seven go to work on the deeper layers and are called the core sessions. After the sleeve has been effectively worked with and made adaptable we are now ready to go into the core. The core sessions affect the deep structures that support the spine and determine the midline or center line of the body.

Sessions 8-10

Sessions eight through ten are integration sessions where it all comes together with movement. Organizing and aligning the body as a whole, resulting in better balance, enhanced freedom of movement, and a higher energy level. We focus on movement and perceptual awareness to connect these places with the rest of the body.

A Rolfer™ doesn’t just work with connective tissue; they work with rhythms of respiration and other responses of the body and it’s nervous system. They also educate the client in ways of using the new-found freedom.

As posture and alignment shift during the 10-Series, the Rolfer helps clients become aware of their inhibiting movement patterns and teaches them how to change them. This allows the client to maintain the progress made in the 10-Series and carry the benefits forward in a lasting way.
