Are the changes permanent? Do people come back for additional sessions?
Ida Rolf claimed that once a person’s body was more balanced in gravity, that gravity would help to reinforce the new posture and the changes wouldn’t fade away with time. What we’ve all found is that the changes gained during Rolfing are long-lasting for most people – you won’t need to keep re-doing the original series. Sure. Although the ten session series is a process in and of itself, many people want to build on the benefits that they have received from their initial series. Some structural patterns are deeply held and are not fully resolved in the initial ten sessions. Also, if you engage in activities or situations that are unusually stressful, you might find additional sessions supportive.
