Is Rolfing suitable for children?
A common misunderstanding about Rolfing is that its main value is in correcting long-standing structural patterns. Rolfing can also serve as a prophylactic measure to reverse potentially problematic patterns in the young. One of the things children learn from watching us is how we carry ourselves and they will naturally imitate their parent’s language, movement and other modes of expression. These patterns can be seen in family photos and are as much a part of a child’s makeup as his hair color, height and predisposition to certain hereditary illnesses. Rolfing can begin to correct patterns, such as hip imbalances which may limit the child’s development and mobility.
