Expectations:
Posture Assessment: We start with assessing your posture and movement: I’ll observe your stance and walking mechanics. Considering your needs, I will also check on how you support yourself within gravity and how your spine and joints move. This identifies specific structures to work on, and we’ll do the same assessment at the end of the session to verify what we accomplished.
Targeted Bodywork: Unlike a general deep-tissue massage, a Rolfing session focuses on specific areas of your body based on your concerns: pain in a leg, or limited range of motion in extension, flexion, rotation, abduction or retraction. You will feel deep, slow techniques comparable to super slow deep tissue work. Notice how your tense muscles open up, and, particularly important in Rolfing, how there’s more glide between muscle and fascia layers. The reliable benefit of a session with me is easier mobility, but most clients get a lot of pain relief within the first session…
Understanding Your Body: You will achieve deeply to understand how your body is structured and how different parts are interconnected. I will provide experimental feedback to help you visualize and sense how gravity can support your body (Gravity is our friend!). This is not a lecture - it’s actually a phenomenon while receiving the deep tissue release you’ve been waiting for, and all I’m adding is a slight motion so your nervous system can map out finer details.
The Rolfing Ten Sessions: Our trial session can help you determine whether this whole-body transformation makes sense for your current circumstances. I do not believe that “every body needs a Ten Series," however it is our best tool for lasting permanent changes or lasting relief. For example, if your neck and shoulders get tensed up over and over again, a Ten Series can breakthrough the pattern and result in easy upright posture without strain.
Effective Techniques: I use precise, minimal interventions to guide your body’s natural alignment, focussing on releasing tension without causing discomfort. I can give you more pressure by request and I am very receptive to your feedback in general. Rolfing has the reputation of being very intense, but my training and experience have prepared me to work with YOUR preferences. I don’t have an agenda for your body, but I’m there to help find one good agenda for your body.
Reassessment and Next Steps: After the hands-on work, I will reassess your movement and posture so we can be clear on our progress. Then, together, we can explore potential next steps.
