What is Rolfing?

Rolfing® is a deep body contouring treatment known for its lasting results. Visible changes in posture, reduction of chronic pain and increased freedom of movement are some of the effects Rolfing clients experience. The treatment focuses on the connective tissue. Connective tissue surrounds and connects bones, muscles, nerves, blood and lymph vessels and internal organs. Imagine taking the ‘flesh’ out of half a grapefruit. The spaces that are left correspond to the connective tissue – separate yet connected. This is where twists/rotations/scar tissue/displacements take place. Did you know that a supple, plastic and resilient connective tissue is of great importance for our physical and mental well-being? And that you can’t stretch to it through yoga or expect permanent change from massage? Rolfing ® goes through the body according to a special logic. Just as a house is restored with foundation and walls before the roof, feet and the outer layers of connective tissue will be organized before the neck and head are treated.
