Certified Rolfing is beneficial

Occasionally you hear someone speak about Rolfing. It's quite possible that you or
someone you know has experienced it. What is Rolfing-Structural Integration? It is an inquiry
into the optimal functioning of the human being, to be nothing short of the whole truth. It is a
system of body re-education and manipulation originally known as structural integration and
the product of 50 years of study and practice by creator, Dr. Ida P. Rolf. Originally an
organic chemist with the Rockefeller Institute, Dr. Rolf perfected the technique of Rolfing
Structural Integration over many years before establishing a training program and a
professional organization of around 1300 practitioners worldwide.

What separates Rolfing from other somatic practices is the Rolfers' premise about a
person's relationship to themselves and to their environment: (1) most human beings are
out of alignment with gravity (2) We function better when we are lined up with the
gravitational field (3) The human body is so plastic that its alignment can be brought into
harmony at anytime in a person's life. Research has shown that there is a more powerful
sense of self, grace, ease, efficiency of movement and often the relief of stress caused by
gravity resistant movement patterns.

The body is inherently a continuous matrix of connective tissue called fascia that surrounds,
supports, and permeates every muscle, bone, nerve and organ of the body. Rolfing
manipulates and re-educates set holding patterns in the tissue and nervous system to
release, realign, and balance the whole body, thus resolving discomfort, reducing
compensations, and enabling a more authentic expression.

Fascia is the white body stocking under the skin that envelops every part of the body giving
you the shape or form of your body. The problem begins when injury, out-of-balance
movement and asymmetries are adopted by the body manifesting as inhibition, pain and
dysfunction. The body will actually change shape to reflect how it is being used, thus
structure and function are two sides of the same coin.

Research on Rolfing has begun to provide qualitative and quantitative data about its results.
Dr. Valerie Hunt, Director of the Movement Behavior Laboratory at UCLA and DR. Julian
Silverman, Research specialist of the California Department of Mental Hygiene, conducted
experiments at Agnews State Hospital where subjects were tested before and after Rolfing
for changes in neurological control of the muscles, for variations in results from stimuli and
for biochemical changes. The results indicated that after Rolfing there is more efficient use
of muscles, conserved energy, increased refinement of response, and a tendency for motor
control to shift toward the more reflexive spinal centers.

In other words, Rolfing reveals resource and health that was always available, more
potential. other research is ongoing within & without The Rolf Institute. Dr. Rolf's theory of
body geometry led to the discovery that when an elbow, knee, or any other joint is properly
balanced, the individual experiences an internal sense of rightness. The body senses that
when its natural alignment in a single plane is no longer compromised there is a self-
organizing order that is inherent in the nervous system and in gravity. So in a new geometry,
there is a new orientation in space, which feels much more secure than a body off it's
centerline of gravity. Each persons ideal geometry depends on navigating a set of
contributing factors like a person's history, injuries, and asymmetries, to formulate a
sequence of sessions customized for each client.

Dr. Rolf was famous for offering free clinics for children, whom can receive benefits as well.
Sessions are around an hour and twenty minutes, and there are usually at least 10-20
sessions with each as a continuation of the previous one and a platform for the next, with
more work at later times if needed. Sessions can cost from $120.00 per session and can be
received weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Remember that your body is the most valuable
possession ever so maintenance is priceless. The proper nutrition, exercise, and bodywork
are extremely important.

Rolfing is considered the premier bodywork offered by somatic therapists. It is not massage
therapy and it cannot accurately be described as therapy. It is a process of re-education in
which a Rolfer seeks to help a client discover the most efficient way of using the body and
disseminating impressions given the dis-ease, asymmetries, and virtue of that body.

There is a certain order of events and a client intake evaluation that a Rolfer considers in
each program of sessions that will be discussed in subsequent articles. We will also discuss
Rolf Movement, which has been defined as evoking an open and responsive body given all
of the tenants of the Tonic Function model in which change in structure can be affected by
change in perception, expression, and coordination. The premise of the Tonic Function
model is that all pre-movement is unconscious movement and anyone of the four elements
(structure-coordination-expression-impression) can be effected by any one of the others.
The Certified Rolfing Ten Series has the ability to reduce pain and release tension in the
connective and myofascial tissue of the body associated with TMJ, CTS, RLS, Fibromyalgia,
Sciatica, Fascitis, Bunions, and Scoliosis. Fascial asymmetries can cause foot, leg, knee,
hip, back, shoulder, neck, arm, hand, and head pain; Rolfing integration therapy is
necessary. Orthopedic, Chiropractic, Physical, and Massage Therapist recognize Rolfing
and Rolf Movement as premium pain management utilizing Structural, Functional, and
Postural Integration.
