Nashville Rolfing

Rolfing is the original system of structural integration. It addresses the pattern of the entire body in a ten-session series. We study a client’s body’s alignment in gravity. We watch how everything is related and moves; how ankles hinge and knees track; in the pelvis tilted and rotated, is the spine strong and flexible; how does the head sit on and be supported by the neck, torso and shoulders, etc. The rolfer the uses sensitively applied firm pressure on the rough connective tissues (ligaments, tendons and fascia) to change the structure of the body in a way that all these patters are improved. The client’s body then stands up straighter, has less stress and pain, is less prone to injuries, moves and breaths easier, sleeps better, etc. Every aspect of daily life benefits from these improvements in structure.
