Dr. Rolf came up with the theory that the physical and emotional discomforts of humans are linked with our connective tissues. We suffer from some or the other illness, may it be a minor infection or something major like severe joint pains. On daily basis, we deal with lots of problems regarding our health. The concepts like Rolfing treatment gives hope and offer treatment for several problems.Rolfing Structural Integration focuses on fascia (connective tissue fibers) that holds your body and bone in a right posture. Practitioners apply their fingers, elbows and knuckle pressure on the needed areas to free the jammed tissues.
How does the Rolfing treatment work?
The practitioner examines your body and 10 weekly sessions are given, with each session lasting for an hour. The practitioner asks you to sit or lie on the table or mat for the Rolfing treatment to begin. Every session focuses on certain part of your body and the practitioner uses the touch of his/her hands to soften the fascia. This further results in smooth movement of the body.At the start, when the pressure is applied on the areas, you might feel some pain and discomfort. When the fascia is restored and the incorrect body posture is aligned, certain amount of pain and discomfort is possible. The pain is for the temporary period and the benefits are for the lifetime.
