Named after its founder, Dr. Ida P. Rolf, Rolfing Structural Integration is a form of bodywork that reorganizes the connective tissues, called fascia, that permeate the entire body. More than fifty years ago, Dr. Rolf recognized that the body is inherently a system of seamless networks of tissues rather than a collection of separate parts.
These connective tissues surround, support and penetrate all of the muscles, bones, nerves and organs. Rolfing Structural Integration works on this web-like complex of connective tissues to release, realign and balance the whole body, thus potentially resolving discomfort, reducing compensations and alleviating pain.

A general summary answer to this question is that Rolfing uses well-known, time-tested effective manual therapy (e.g., massage, myofascial release, neural mobilization, PT) techniques, incorporating them after a thorough assessment of a client's overall physical structure. Rolfing is best thought of as a strategic, organized process we put someone's body through to achieve overall balance.

I went for 10 sessions with Gerry. Absolutely first class. Didn't push me too far.
I had a knee operation and didn't do physio and ended up with sciatica. After some serious physio, Gerry helped me recover my body posture and alignment. It wasn't always easy, but Gerry backed off if the discomfort was high.
