Rolfing?

Rolfing, also known as Structural Integration, is a holistic form of bodywork developed by Dr. Ida P. Rolf over fifty years ago.  It works with the connective tissue of the body (fascia) to release, re-align, and balance the body.  Fascia is an intricate web-like network that is interwoven within every layer of the body such as muscle, ligament, organ, and bone. Fascia will change according to the stresses placed upon it.

  Manipulating the muscular and skeletal systems are sometimes not enough.  When the fascia is addressed, it results in all the structures of the body being affected on various levels and layers, including the muscular and skeletal system. Rolfing is a holistic treatment of deep tissue massage that realigns and balances your body so that your head, shoulders, chest, pelvis, and legs are in better vertical alignment. People suffering from stiffness, chronic pain, structural aches and physical stress can benefit with reduced or eliminated pain and stiffness as well as a balanced and properly working body.
