Because it changes bodies. It changes lives.
Rolfing Structural Integration is about feeling good in your body. It is about this passion of mine, of becoming absolutely, over and over and over again. Our bodies are not stagnant. The cells in our body die and get replaced. We shed our skin, we shed weight, we gain weight, we feel feelings, sometimes all the feelings. We stress out, get wired, break down, fall down, get back up, hurt, feel better, move on. We change. And I fully realize that this is argued. People tell me all the time, “Well, y’know, people don’t change.” I disagree. As humans, we have an entire lifespan through which we can learn and grow. A person who has had a stroke re-patterns their nervous system, brain and body. A person who has not had a stroke can re-pattern their nervous system, brain and body.
We all know the benefits of massage: increasing blood flow, aiding relaxation, boosting immune function, improving sleep patterns. With Rolfing, when we add intentional and mindful activation of the musculature, i.e. “keeping your leg heavy on the table, slide/reach your leg toward the wall” while simultaneously being hooked into the fascial network, it allows for a stretch and release of the myofascial system into a new opportunity for connection, health, and freedom. We involve the nervous system, we practice firing the neural network in a different way that the body will remember later. Here is a new pattern for your body to try out. This is a new and different OPTION for your body. This is often primarily accomplished in the typical horizontal position on the table but then I get you up into vertical, into gravity, and here, we ground the system in gravity. I guide you in owning this new option, this new you. We anchor you in this new becoming.
For more on what this means, stay tuned for the next episode....
