ROLF

Rolfing is a hands-on therapy that works with the connective tissue of the body, called fascia, to release tension and create freedom of movement in the body. This freedom combined with movement reeducation allows the body to find balance and improve alignment for the bones and joints.

Each person develops patterns in movement and posture during their lifetime. These patterns are unique to each person and are based on genetics, repetitive movement, injuries, and cultural factors. Rolfing provides an opportunity to learn new patterns and develop the self-awareness that is available in all of us.

Testimonials:

"As a runner, I thought I was in tune with all aspects of my body. I run marathons and ultra-marathons and have very specific training and nutrition programs that I follow. I also strive to become a better and more efficient runner. That's where Rolfing came into my life. I had heard about it through my massage therapist and thought that it might be a good idea to try. She convinced me that it would be of great benefit to me and help me out in many ways. I was shocked at what the Rolfing experience did for me. It was unbelievable! I learned so much about what my body did and how it functioned. I also grew more aware of how I should feel during my training. The results were fantastic and immediate. I felt like a totally new runner. All aspects of my training improved. I also benefitted by just feeling better overall and knowing what I needed to do to maintain that fantastic feeling. Rolfing worked wonders for me and I highly recommend it to anyone in all walks of life."

--Mickey, Avid Runner and Elementary School Learning Coach

"Rolfing is truly the best gift I have given myself and my body. Throughout the measured and deliberate sessions improvement was immediate each time. Because treatment was focused on only one area of my body each session I became more aware of all the improvements and ease of motion. Risa has a wonderful healing touch, and has given me a new freedom of movement that is a joy to behold each day."

-- Pam, Fiber Artist

"For me, Rolfing was the perfect choice to help me move beyond some long term aches and pains that were interfering with my sleep, my yoga practice and my overall wellbeing. After just a few sessions, I noticed that I was breathing more deeply and easily. Headaches I had been experiencing for years lessened in intensity and frequency. Low back pain that had come and gone for almost 20 years has not returned. Risa is the perfect combination of skilled bodyworker and intuitive healer. She is able to see both the big picture and the tiny details and is able to integrate all of this to provide just what your body needs."

-- Trisha, Physical Therapist
