What Is Rolfing?
Rolfing® is a series of sessions or steps towards better alignment and function. What we call the Basic Rolfing® Series involves getting 10 sessions. Each one lasting approximately 50 minutes, unless you prefer them to be 80-90 min. Each session prepares the body for the changes and goals of the next session. Even though there are specific goals for each session they are very individual to your situation. The Advanced Series is 4-5 sessions done usually months after the basic 10. We also include movement education which offers additional experiential awareness and options in every day movements and how you can use and further the changes.
There are times when a “first aid” after an accident or “a tune up session” is needed – such as after a long road trip or ski trip or particularly stressful event. If you are not sure this work is “right” for you, you can do a 1-3 session series without committing to the 10 series. The training is such that if you had the work from another Rolfer®, maybe even in another city, and want to see one of us, that is A-ok. You will not lose any progress by changing Rolfers.
