What to expect
Rolfing is conventionally done as a ten-
step series. This is a highly individualized formula that
maximizes the body's ability to integrate change toward
structural integration. Each session builds on the results of
the previous one, so results are cumulative. Further sessions
("tune-ups") are often sought as the body may experience injury
or stress.
The work is done on a table or a bench
using my hands, fingers, forearms and elbows. Occasionally I
will call for movement and/ or breath participation. Before and
after pictures are sometimes taken.
Females typically wear a bra and underwear
or a two piece swimsuit during their sessions. Males wear
underwear, or running shorts work well. Sports bras and boxer
shorts are discouraged because they provide coverage that is not
always gracefully moved aside. Time and privacy is given to
change/undress.
I offer free consultations, a chance
for us to meet and talk more about how Rolfing can help you
specifically. Sessions typically last an hour to an hour and
fifteen minutes and are spaced one to three weeks apart,
depending on time and financial concerns. Sessions cost $85
each.
