Suffering with long-term aches and pains? Why not visit a Rolfer, says practitioner Keith Graham.
WHAT IS ROLFING?
Rolfing Structural Integration is a method of deep-tissue manipulation and movement education that aims to balance the body so it can deal more efficiently with the force of gravity.
Named after American biochemist, Dr Ida Rolf, who developed the method in the 1950s, Rolfing addresses patterns of tension that can develop in the body’s fascial or connective tissue system.
Over 10 carefully structured sessions, Rolfing unwinds layers of tissue strain, which may have built up over years due to injury, habitual movement patterns, trauma or emotional holding. Undergoing the full Rolfing series is like giving your body a 100,000-mile service and will improve posture, balance and muscle coordination for more energy and greater freedom of movement.
