What is Rolfing®?
Rolfing is a method of bodywork that aims to align the body with the force of gravity. Designed by Dr. Ida Rolf, this technique works directly with the fascia (connective tissues), of the body to integrate and restructure from head to toe.
- Rolfing leaves clients with a greater sense of awareness and comfort in their bodies.
- Clients enjoy improved posture, reduced pain, and enhanced ease of movement.
- Rolfing supports psychological and emotional wellness.
