Rolfing is a form of bodywork that focuses on the manipulation of the body's connective tissue, known as fascia. Developed by Dr. Ida Rolf in the 1940s, this technique aims to improve posture, relieve pain, and enhance overall movement. Rolfing practitioners use deep tissue massage and movement education to help clients achieve better alignment and body awareness.
The process typically involves a series of sessions, each lasting about 60 to 90 minutes. During these sessions, the practitioner assesses the client's body and applies targeted pressure to release tension and restrictions in the fascia. Many people seek Rolfing to address chronic pain, improve athletic performance, or promote relaxation.
