a hands-on therapy and form movement education aimed at freeing the body from limitations and pain.
Before and after one Rolfing SI session. This man is already standing straighter and his head is coming back closer to balancing over his spine. Additionally, his arms hang straighter, his chest is opened up allowing fuller breath and his feet are turning more naturally forward.
What is Rolfing?
Rolfing Structural Integration (SI) is an intelligent form of hands-on therapy and movement education aimed at freeing the body from limitations and pain. The primary goal is to realign the various segments of the body; head - pelvis -ribcage - legs, so you can more easily stand, sit up straight and move. This can have wonderful effect on a person's health and emotional wellness.
Consider our modern lives for a moment. How much time do we sit at desks, curved over our keyboard and craning our neck towards our screens? We sit for hours with our shoulders slumped, our back rounded and our hips planted in a sit that doesn’t conform to the ergonomics of the human body. And that is only at work. We have equally problematic postures driving, scrolling on our smart phones and on and on. These postural patterns are not how we are built to exist. These constant unnatural patterns put our body at war with gravity!
Rolfing SI is the only form of bodywork directed at reorganizing these patterns and realigning the human body into its natural position within the field of gravity.
The results can be profound.
Potential benefits include not only better posture, enhanced body awareness, and pain relief, but in a broader sense, Rolfing SI helps restore the bodies' natural freedom and balance helping you move with ease, grace and pleasure; to feel at home in your own skin.
