Rolfing (thing)
Basic Principles of Rolfing Principles of Intervention - A series of ten rolfing sessions that Dr. Rolf developed. Gentle Techniques - As Rolfers work deep within the myofascial tissue structure, some people can experience discomfort. Rolfers have developed a large range of techniques that tend to produce results with with less discomfort. Joint Mobilization Techniques - The Rolf Institute has created a range of soft tissue techniques to release articular motion restrictions that impede whole body organization. The Personal Experience - Since Rolfing is a holistic technique, it is recognized that changes in structure will impact the whole person, physically, emotionally, and energetically. The Rolf Institute recognizes that ultimately, it is the person's own experience of the work that is of primary importance. The Integration of Structure and Function - In Rolfing Movement Integration, the Rolfer helps clients become aware of inhibiting movement patterns and gives them the means to change them; and in Rolfing Structural Integration, the Rolfer releases these patterns through manipulation as they manifest in the client's structure. Rolfing is as concerned with how people experience and use their bodies as with their structural organization in gravity.
