Will
it last?
Changes
to our bodies from Rolfing are long lasting.
I am always delighted to work again with a client I
haven’t seen for months or years and find that their bodies
are still supple and relaxed from the earlier Rolfing work.
When we have corrected your alignment and released
restriction in your tissue, you will not tend to reestablish
the patterns of tightness and compensation that brought you to
my office.
Photographs
Rolfers have taken of their clients show that the changes from
the basic Rolfing series are still present many years after
the series is complete.
What
about my bad habits? Won't they undo the benefits I
received?
Rolfing
is more than the direct work on your body.
I will also work with you to establish some new
patterns of movement that will help you maintain and expand
the benefits you receive.
An integral part of the Rolfing® process is
establishing a new base of support that will help make your
“bad habits” unnecessary.
Does
it hurt?
When
your chronic achy tightness is released, you feel much better.
The pressure I use to make that release can be
uncomfortable, however, the discomfort is relieved as soon as
I stop pressing.
Sometimes, you will recall the feelings of old
injuries and traumas as we are releasing the tissue involved
with those insults.
The remembrance of your past trauma is usually limited
to the time we work with a specific part of your body.
Will
Rolfing®
affect me psychologically?
Many
clients say that the Rolfing process gave them relief from
psychological blocks when their physical patterns of tension
got released.
Beyond this idea of release, Dr. Rolf taught that when
we help establish a stable foundation and flexible structure
we are providing the basis for a self-confident and competent
individual.
Robust physical functioning gives support to healthy
psychological development.
