Carolina Rolfing Associates

During a Rolfing session, the rolfer and the client are making actual physical change to the clients’ structure. The after effects of a session can range from a very relaxed calm to a highly energized feeling.

After the initial series, clients periodically receive sessions to help further enhance what was started in the series. Frequency of the post series work depends on life style and history of injuries and trauma.

For those not interested in the series, there what Rolfers call “fix-it” work. Only the specific problem that the client comes in with is addressed. Usually in 2-4 sessions the problem can be taken care of (depending on the severity of the problem).

Each person’s experience of Rolfing is different. For most people it feels like the Rolfer is relieving that itch they could never scratch. Sometimes there can be momentary discomfort, depending on the severity of the tension or injury to an area. Most of the time there is a pleasurable feeling as connective tissue releases.

Rolfing^tm Structural Integration organizes the body system by releasing restrictions in the myofascial system (connective tissue) caused by stress, injury, trauma, and the effects of aging. Rolfers apply pressure to restricted areas with their hands, soft fist, or forearm coupled with ynchronized movement cues to free the restrictions. By freeing the connective tissue, aches and pains disappear and the person feels a restored sense of function and vitality, both mentally and physically.

Rolfing^tm Structural Integration is the systematic manipulation of the myofascial system (connective tissue) of the body to restore balance, increase energy, reduce pain and restore normal function and vitality.
