Rolfing (Structural Integration)

Rolfing, also known as Structural Integration, is a holistic manual therapy that aims to improve posture and movement patterns. By specifically manipulating the connective tissue (fascia), it seeks to correct misalignments and optimize mobility. Rolfing can help alleviate chronic pain, enhance body awareness, and improve overall well-being.

When is Rolfing used?

Rolfing is used for various complaints and for general health promotion, including:

 

- Chronic pain and muscle tension

- Poor posture

- Movement restrictions

- Stress and tension

- Rehabilitation after injuries

- Improvement of athletic performance

- General well-being and body awareness

Benefits of Rolfing

  • Pain relief: Effectively reduces chronic pain and muscle tension.
  • Improvement of posture: Corrects poor posture and optimizes movement patterns.
  • Increased mobility: Improves the flexibility and mobility of the body.
  • Holistic effect: Considers the body as a unit and addresses the causes of complaints.
  • Improved body awareness: Promotes better perception of one's own body.
  • Long-term results: Supports long-term changes in body structure and function.

Conducting Rolfing

  • Examination: The Rolfing therapist conducts a thorough medical history and physical examination to identify the causes of the complaints.
  • Treatment: With specific grips and techniques, the therapist manipulates the connective tissue to release tensions and improve posture.
  • Duration of treatment: A session usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.
  • Frequency of sessions: Rolfing often takes place in a series of 10 sessions that build on each other to achieve comprehensive structural integration.

What you need to consider before Rolfing

  • Health issues: Inform the therapist about existing health issues, especially in the case of skin conditions or acute injuries.
  • Medications: Let the therapist know if you are taking any medications that could affect the treatment.
  • Preparation: No special preparations are required, but comfortable clothing can be helpful.

Debriefing and Consultation

After the Rolfing session, the therapist will discuss the results and your reaction to the treatment. The therapist will assess whether further sessions are necessary and how the treatment can be integrated into the overall treatment plan. Additional recommendations may include exercises, other therapeutic measures, or adjustments in daily life to support healing and pain relief.
