I’ve been doing massage for 7 years now and when it’s safe to I really wanna learn Rolfing. My work already organically integrates a lot of these ideas and techniques but I personally feel going and learning it would be a big step up.
Give Mary a call here at the Institute. She can share about the program and all the ways we can support you in enrolling in classes. Thanks for watching.
I had my second session yesterday. I felt an immediate relief and major release after my first. This one was more intense so I expect it will be some time before it settles to evaluate. If you have chronic pain I would highly recommend trying it.
I once asked a friend to give me a maasage. it was very painful and elongating and very relieving. He rold me it was rolfing. I told him thank you and never heard of the word again till today.
It's really sound amazingly strange and impressive technique as a physio I wanna know more and more about Rolf. Anyone can recommend me a website or TH-cam channel or a online course to learn more Thank you
My first session with someone who’s been certified longer than I’ve been alive is at 12 today. I’ve been in so much pain for so long, nothing has worked for me. This is the last house on the block and I’m just praying it helps me.
I have my first session this week and am admittedly a bit nervous. I’m much in the same boat in terms of “this is the last house on the block” and I really, REALLY hope it helps. If you don’t mind my asking, how has your experience been so far?
I was feeling the same way watching this. pin and stretch technique seems to be the most common with added communication to being clients more intuned with their body and sensations.
Hey I'm trying to do research on functional effectiveness of rolfing for children with cerebral palsy can you help me in this regard ,any previous research related to this
Check out publications by Karen Price, Certified Advanced Rolfer. She has published several research papers with Stanford looking at Cerebral Palsy clients and Rolfing SI.
@@localcalysta5619 I try everything once at least once. I had two sessions in Nashville and they were amazing. One of the best things I've ever done for my body. I did every type of message with no success before.
My calf muscles are so tight the pain is excruciating trying to stretch them. Nothing seems to lose or stretch them out. My lower back is just as bad. I can't bend over to touch my toes past the bottom of my knees.
@@brownbear8936 Did you feel like the Rolphing helped you? I know it’s been a couple of years since you posted this but I’m going in for my first session soon and would love to hear some feedback from someone who’s gone through it.
@@blackrosepoet179 It was awesome! I feel completely different in my body and have a much better perception for it. But my calve muscle still hurt sometime.

hi guys? i got first session of rolfing but got only on one ankle worked.. and now my second ankle hurts. what can i do? i think i need to do something because it will continue being a problem if it hurts now.
@@j.montcliff377 Shape is one aspect of structure.. You cannot remodel completely. But you can create space, create better relationships between segments, and get rid of pain.
@@because88 do these machines ask you questions about what your complaint is? Do machines ask questions about how you feel before, during and after treatment? Or how much your discomfort/pain/restricted ROM is? There is nothing better imho than a real therapist who can treat you. They ask you questions and treat according to what they find. They explain the what, why and how's. They will be able to show you the improvement through pre and post assessment. They will give you advise on what you yourself can do to speed up your recovery or how to prevent your complaint from reoccurring. Etc etc.
I hope you have a chiropractor unlock the joints before rolfing? Because chiropractic comes very first, I have major experience with this with my postural problems. Muscles and fascia cannot be fixed without unlocking the joints and aligning the bones!
Completely in reverse as bones do not change shape or size. The soft tissue controls the bony structures. Your understanding of human structure is limited and generally incorrect.
@@deeptime5581 Thats true except for I have Scheuerrmans kyphosis where the bones grew wedge shaped in adolescence due to poor posture and genetics so my bones change shape as my spine grew and i go thru terrible issues with it. I know that the soft tissues control the bony structures, but the joint capsule can get locked into a certain position so hard that it requires sometimes a hard thrust to release the.joint and then once the joint is released then soft tissues are more supple to start working on those. Thats how my neck and back joints were for 30 years and it took a chiro that had the right force to unlock things which i never found after 5 chiros it took. My neck locks up easy because of the angular structure of the joints due to kyphoscoliosis and locked forward head that does not come backwards because the back prevents my neck bones from coming back. Once when back can be straightened then my neck will come back. And if i had surgery to fix my kyphosis they would need to fix my neck curve also which they only focus on the back usually from stories and info ive looked up. I would hope they focus on the whole spinal curve and take full spine xrays to show the whole continuous curve and measure cobb angles and other angles which i had a chiro do for me that NO other doctor has ever for me. i do know the soft tissues can pull a joint back info a locked misaligned position tho and that's what keeps people going to chiros for the rest of their life. I do understand the spine and spinal biomechanics. I know that even the low back injury can cause headaches at the base of the skull. Everything can affect everything. Non Painful areas that have hidden issues can cause painful issues and doctors will only look at PAINFUL AREAS THO. medical doctors for years and chiros would only take xrays of my neck because thats where i said i had the pain but it was my BACK CAUSING THE NECK ISSUES AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN SMARTER TO TAKE A FULL SPINE XRAY AND OF MY NECK IN RELATION TO MY UPPER BACK SLOPE FORWARD.
You can’t align bones for a substainable amount of time. The bones are stiff. The problems in your body lies in your soft tissues that are connected to your brain.
Stretching won't move or disconnect your fascia. Yoga will do nothing for scar tissue. If it's pulling somewhere it should not, it affects other parts of body.
Think sequence. First tissue, Then joints. Then Chains of Joints. Stretching involves the second step but not the first, at least not immediately, Why I recommend foam roller before doing yoga.

Tension is a needed structural unit in the human body. What we don't need is tightness and restriction of movement.
Chronic tension=bad
Very typical of Gentle compression techniques/holds, Myofascial Release etc.. Just a different name.
