How does Rolfing differ from other forms of bodywork?
Rolfing differs from other forms of bodywork in at least two important ways. The first is the medium through which Rolfers work in the body. Rolfers work with fascia or connective tissue. This allows the Rolfer to actually sculpt or reshape the body. Secondly, Rolfing differs from most other forms of bodywork in its holistic approach. Rolfing is not symptom-oriented, but rather, an intentional process of reorganizing the body in gravity. This does not mean that symptoms or problems are ignored; but rather they are considered and addressed within the context of the reorganization process.
