Why Study Rolfing® Bodywork Therapy?
Like other forms of bodywork, Rolfing® uses hands-on manipulation of the body to improve physical functions, reduce pain, relieve stress, and re-balance the body. However, Rolfing® structural integration specifically focuses on realigning the body at a deeper level. The therapy works on the fascia, the connective tissue under our skin that connects the organs. It focuses on releasing tension, creating space where needed, and correcting misalignments so the body can function correctly. Your clients will experience various benefits, including pain relief, heightened body awareness, greater flexibility, and better posture. Many clients describe the benefits of Rolfing as completely life-changing!
