Rolfing
As published in Nexus - Colorado's Holistic Journal


Often called a deep tissue therapy and sometimes massage, Rolfing is more accurately defined as a holistic form of education and manipulation in the way gravity impacts the human body. Originally called structural integration, Rolfing was pioneered by American biochemist Dr. Ida Rolf. Rolf maintained that when one part of the body is out of balance, the rest of the body attempts to compensate until the entire structure is weakened. Rolfing can improve posture through the manipulation of the myofascial system, while at the same time easing pain and chronic stress and enhancing well-being. Training in Boulder and internationally to become a practitioner consists of two nine-week sessions, with home study and massage study. There are many prerequisites for acceptance to training.
