Benefits of Rolfing
Dr. Ida P. Rolf received her Ph.D. in biochemistry from Columbia University in 1920 and was a leader in the field of fascial research. Throughout her life she explored many forms of healing.
Rolfing is a holistic therapy created by Dr. Ida P. Rolf to facilitate healing through touch, movement and education by remapping sensation in the body. Rolfers work with the nervous system and the web-like tissues that connect muscles and bones to shift and mobilize systemic adaptive patterns and to realign and balance the body. Rolfing expedites recovery from injury by attending to compensatory strain patterns while bringing awareness to protective postural and movement patterns. Rolfing maximizes potential, expands range of motion and supports vitality throughout ones lifetime. Rolfing is beneficial for children and adults of all ages.
