How to Ease Tension With Rolfing

How to Ease Tension With Rolfing



Rolfing was created by Dr. Rolf in the middle of the last century, and is a type of bodywork that he designed to permanently ease chronic tension in your body. It's a method that requires active participation, making its effects long lasting.









1


Find a qualified Rolfing massage therapist by visiting the official website of the Rolf Institute.





2


Set up an evaluation appointment. The therapist will palpitate the muscle fascia and finding areas that need work. She may also take photos of you in the first session to examine the way you hold yourself.





3


Schedule a follow up appointment to receive soft-tissue manipulation. This will realign improper fascia build up that has been created by injury, heredity, or just poor posture and muscle use.





4


Return for a third appointment if you are feeling tension relief. Recipients of Rolfing claim to have a lighter feeling almost immediately.





5


Conclude your rolfing massage treatment with several final sessions to realign the body with the natural gravitational pull.





6


Practice the exercises. Once the body is realigned it sometimes wants to go back to old habits. Use the exercises that the Rolfing therapist has given to maintain that wonderful feeling.








Tips & Warnings










If you still feel tension after a Rolfing session, you may want to look at other areas of your life to find what is creating it.
