Rolfing® Structural Integration is a process of negotiating with the body's  connective tissues through contact and education to facilitate changes that allow the body to think, feel and move with greater ease

during the day.   

​

As a Rolfer™  I am using my hands to assist the body toward alignment in the gravitational field where it can feel more comfort and balanced. Rolfing® Structural Integration is an interactive form of therapy where the Rolfer™ works with skillful techniques of both touch and movement requests while the client works with their own breath and small movement patterns.

 

Each muscle fiber, organ, nerve and blood vessel is surrounded by connective tissue  called fascia. Each joint, bone, tendon and ligament is also wrapped with this multi-dimensional web-like tissue. Fascia is being considered a complex sensory organ that weaves around, connecting with and ‘communicating’ throughout the entire body during times of motion and stillness.

 

Rolfing® Structural Integration is manipulating this fascia by considering the body’s wholistic organization and balancing it in the gravitational field. Traditionally, this process is performed in the 10-series format. Please review the chart below (found after video link) for a description of the 10 -series or from this website

from the Rolfing® Association of Canada.
