Any emotion we have is actually a physical event that changes the tone, length, position and even temperature of our muscles and connective tissue. Repeated or traumatic events can be recorded as stress, sadness or fear that is held in the body in the form of rigidity, jumpiness, and changes in posture. As the Rolfing slowly and carefully releases the tissue, these feelings dissolve in a way that is not overwhelming or re-traumatizing.
