Different than Myofascial Release?
Rolfing® is an integrative technique utilizing a system of creating order in the bodys structure. When a Rolfer contacts tissue in a clients slumped shoulders, she is also feeling through the fascia and making contact with the connective tissue of the pelvis or arches of the feet so that not only does the shoulder release, but it has support underneath it from the pelvis or the feet. Rolfing® does not simply release restrictions in the bodys tensional patterns, it simultaneously creates order in the structural connective tissue. I have been trained in John Barnes Myofascial Release and apply those techniques, as appropropriate, in the context of a Rolfing® session.
