Did you know that your connective tissue determines the overall shape of your body, as well as how different parts of your body relate to each other?
Poor posture, injury, chronic stress and trauma can cause areas of your connective tissue to distort, tighten, or become unsupportive. Over time, patterns of chronic tension and bracing can develop in order to compensate for these problems. This leads to pain, dysfunction, instability and restricted movement. I can help you release these painful patterns of tension and bracing, restore normal shape, length and elasticity to your connective tissue and improve the structure and function of your body.
Rolfing Structural Integration is a method for improving your posture and ease of movement
It can be an integral part of addressing chronic tension and movement patterns, as well as soft tissue injuries resulting from trauma. In addition, Rolf Movement exploration can be an important part of boundary repair after traumatic injury. As a Certified Advanced Rolfer, I draw from 20 years of experience and multiple methods of intervention to tailor sessions specific to your needs. Each session builds upon the results of the previous sessions in a cumulative process. As you can see in the picture, the results can be visible and long-lasting.
Collaboration is the key
My practice is intended to be a collaboration between the two of us. It is important that you feel empowered to actively participate in your sessions, ask questions, notice positive changes and talk with me about how you experience the process. Healing is not something done to us. Healing is something that arises organically out of our collaboration.
Following a session that includes Rolfing, you may notice that you feel less pain
In addition, you may notice new sensations, like feeling taller, stronger, more grounded, calmer or more energized. You may also notice feeling an improvement in your overall level of health, more vitality, enhanced physical performance, greater flexibility and improved balance as you progress through your sessions. Chronic discomforts may begin to disappear. As you embrace these positive changes, you may also notice that you feel less chronic stress and tension in your daily life.
Rolfing can help increase your level of self-awareness
Through our work together, you have the opportunity to gain improved awareness of how it feels to be in your body and move through the world. The most important benefit you may receive from your sessions with me is conscious awareness of your own unhelpful habits. This conscious awareness gives you the power to make positive changes for yourself. When you become able to notice your own unhelpful habits, it becomes easy to shift to healthier habits which support your ability to maintain your health and sense of internal balance.
You are likely to meet or surpass your initial goals as we work together
You may experience relief from chronic pain, a greater feeling of vitality, enhanced physical fitness and stamina, improved mental outlook and a greater ability to cope with stress. If you have had severe postural problems or have experienced physical trauma, multiple injuries or surgeries, you may feel the desire to set new goals as we work through your original goals and see that more improvement is possible.
Rolf Movement® Integration sessions – improving core strength and healthy coordination
Movement Integration sessions are a great way to make the most out of the positive changes you get from your sessions with me. Through the practice of slow movement and exercises that expand your perceptual awareness, we can improve your sense of balance, coordination and core strength. We can use movement exploration as part of a session, or do a series of movement sessions tailored to your specific interests and needs.
