What is Rolfing® Movement Integration?
Rolfing Movement Integration is a separate system of work which forwards the same goal as Rolfing itself. Where Rolfing deals with patterns of structure, Rolfing Movement Integration re-educates the body’s movement patterns. Life is motion. When we are unable to meet life’s demands to move in certain ways, tension results. Familiar symptoms of this kind of tension are low energy, aching muscles and stress. A Rolfing Movement Integration teacher works to guide the client in replacing binding tension patterns with free and well-integrated movement. Rolfing Movement Integration usually consists of eight or more sessions spaced one or more weeks apart. Sessions can be done in groups or in private. Movement work can be done for its own value or as a powerful aid to the manipulative work.
