The Principles
The Principles of Rolfing Therapy
One
Address the Whole Body
We do not just treat the area in question, we look at the whole body and its involvement in the symptoms you are experiencing.
Two
Work with Gravity
Rolfing focuses on the fascial system to create a neutral system that works with gravity, rather than against it.
Three
Create Alignment
Rolfing addresses the body’s position in space, posture, and gait. By utilizing support, stability, and lift, the body is realigned.
Four
Prevention
Rolfing aims to achieve optimal function, encouraging one to pursue healthy activities and a positive attitude, while preventing the development of health concerns
