What is Rolfing®?

Rolfing® is a system of soft tissue manipulation and movement education that reorganizes and enhances the whole body in gravity.  The goal of Rolfing® is to balance and optimize your embodiment or your way of being, by focusing on fascia and gravity, the invisible but influencing components of us, that was for a long time unnoticed and undervalued. 

Dr. Rolf was the pioneer who has found the importance of fascia over 50 years ago. Dr. Rolf recognized our body is a myofascial network which embodies inner tension and mutual flow: the very basis of oriental medicines. We are either flowing (alive) or stagnated (dead).  This is a huge conversion; the key is in the invisible, not in the dense visible parts.

 

Fascia, a network of soft connective tissues like a spider web, is running throughout the entire body, wrapping everything.  It is said that even if all the organs, bones, and fat are removed,, the fascia alone would be able to perfectly reproduce the person’s body shape as it was in life.  Fascia is the form memory.

Dr. Rolf once said gravity is either a friend or an enemy.  When we bring awareness towards gravity/center/home in mundane activities especially in spontaneous unnoticed reactions, it supports us as our friend and makes our life simple and easy. Otherwise we forcefully move on with ceaseless efforts.  Ignorance makes our lives very complicated.  The key lays always in awareness towards the subconscious.  

 

Rolfing is aiming at blossoming your potential by maximizing the blue print stored in fascia.  Releasing adhesion or intermingled fascia, it helps you find your unnoticed pattern and your hidden potential.  It helps also injured, operated, and missing body parts, because fascia functions holistically.  Through Rolfing process, we regain the inherent flow, most efficient way of motion, and structural integrationn.

Rolfing® consists of a series of 10 sessions, a systematically designed  "recipe,"  each of which builds upon the previous and bridges for the next.  Each session lasts 60 minutes to be continued constantly weekly or biweekly based on your condition.

10 series can be divided into three parts:
