What’s a Rolfing Session Like?
Allow 90 minutes for each session.
You will dress down to underwear (its best to wear a sports bra rather than one with underwire and clasps; briefs are better than loose boxers or shorts).
I will observe you standing, walking and doing a variety of basic movements in order to understand your patterns of movement and dynamic alignment This assessment happens at the beginning and end of each session.
Rolfing work is a dynamic touch therapy. At different times, you will be asked to lay down on a treatment table, sit on a bench or do some movement exercises while lying, sitting or standing.
Clients are encouraged to ask questions and to talk with me about their experience while the touch work is taking place.
At the end of a Rolfing session, it is often recommended to schedule some free time for self-care. For some this may be a leisurely walk or a nap to let the session integrate. I will offer movement suggestions for you to work with until our next session.
Each Rolfing session is delivered in the context of a Rolfing series. Dr. Ida P. Rolf developed a 10-session series that is a holistic touch therapy addressing the whole body systematically. Learn more about the ‘ 10 Series ‘
