People of all ages and walks of life come to Rolfing for relief from their pain and stress and improved performance in their professions and daily activities.  Some individuals may perceive their losing fight with gravity as a sharp pain in their back, others as the unflattering contour of their body, others as constant fatigue, yet others as an unrelentingly threatening environment. Those over forty may call it old age

. And yet all these signals may be pointing to a single problem so prominent in their own structure, as well as others, that it has been ignored: they are off balance, they are at war with gravity.

For children, just like learning a new language, assimilation comes easily.  Working with mild strains of scoliosis or structural patterns developed from sports or injuries at an early age can help a child lead a more fulfilling life.

Rolfing is also good for older people.  Reducing the curvature of the spine, which is concurrent with the shortening process, and increasing vital capacity or our ability breath more efficiently are two major benefits, particularly to older people.  Because Rolfing is a partnership, the Rolfer will be happy to discuss and may even require a meeting with the client’s physician if there are any concerns about the effects of Rolfing.
