Rolfing disentangles the layering system of the body, each session having specific goals that are adapted to clients needs as they change within their postural evolution.

Treatment incorporates a postural gate analysis, deep fascial release techniques with client participation (movements) to re-educate the connection between your nervous system and your potential movement.

The result is a postural evolution towards an energy efficient body function for everyday life and in your activity.

Today, Rolfing is one of the best known and widespread postural and structural methods, as well as a pioneer in fascia research globally.

In this session we address the normal discomforts experienced during and after pregnancy such as; backaches, pelvic adaptations, stiffness, cramps, headaches and swelling.

Reducing stress on weight-bearing joints, encouraging circulation, relax nervous tension, aiding in better sleep and can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes.

I take extra care to ensure mother is comfortable, adapting her position so she can either be in side lying or sitting with pillows and props.

Post birth, I can facilitate pelvic floor rehabilitation and work on scar tissues that have occurred during birth.

In this treatment there may not be any specific structural goals. A 90min session is suggested for a full body treatment as myofscial techniques are deep and slow which takes time. Clients may use myofacial massage after completing a rolfing series or in preparation for competition.

Lubricated fascia sets up the environment for cellular recovery and for adaptability in movement which gives the body the ability to have a positive experience in both sport and in day to day life. Myofascial restrictions can cause: pain, limited motion, poor shock absorption, dehydration of tissues and joint stiffness. Therefore a body that is malleable and adaptive will be affected less by both physical and emotional stress.
