Almost anybody can benefit from Rolfing!

  • People who spend long hours at a desk or computer may find it increasingly uncomfortable to maintain good posture. After Rolfing, the body becomes effortlessly upright, balanced and at ease.
  • Those suffering chronic pain or discomfort frequently find that changes brought about by Rolfing bring lasting relief when other more traditional approaches have only provided a temporary reprieve.
  • Structural changes resulting from pregnancy and childbirth may linger to establish lifelong patterns of discomfort and poor posture. A Rolfing series can assist a woman of any age to restore the balance and alignment of her pre pregnancy body.
  • Sports people, dancers, musicians and anyone wanting to improve their performance may seek Rolfing. The feelings of fluidity, ease and lightness experienced after Rolfing can enhance functioning, both physically and mentally.
  • Practitioners of yoga may turn to Rolfing to both complement and enhance their practice just as Rolfing clients may turn to a somatic movement modality such as yoga to explore the new horizons of their structurally integrated bodies. The Rolfing process and yoga both utilise gravity to open and release the body and both processes facilitate a deeper level of self awareness, differing only in their methods. While yoga practitioners have an extremely intimate understanding of their bodies and where any restrictions lie, it is difficult to be as specific in releasing these restrictions using the asanas as can be achieved with the assisting hands of skilled Rolfer.

"All this metaphysics is fine, but be mighty sure you've got the physics under the metaphysics" Dr Ida Rolf
