What scientific evidence supports Rolfing as a body therapy?
Research into connective tissue manipulation and Rolfing, in particular, are very active fields at the moment. Older research has indicated that Rolfing can help refine movement patterns and create more efficient muscle use as well as significantly enhance neurological functioning and pelvic inclination. Newer studies have begun to explore the possible mechanisms of change including connective tissue hydration through manual manipulation and the presence of contractile cells in the connective tissue.
