Weingarten Rolfing

   Rolfing is a modality of manual therapy/bodywork that rebalances the body’s major segments (the head, shoulders, chest, pelvis, legs, spine) back into alignment with gravity. Rolfing focuses on the Fascial System, the connective tissue that surrounds every bone, ligament, tendon, muscle, blood vessel, nerve fiber and organ in the body. Fascia creates a web of support, connection and communication throughout the entire body. 


   Rolfing is classically done in a series of 10 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart. Each session builds support upon the last, focusing on a different territory (i.e. the lateral lines) and intention (i.e. "freeing the breath"), with all layers of tissue from surface to deep being touched upon by the end of the series. My work can also be done in one whole integrative session with the Rolfing principles and technique in mind to more quickly focus on an area that needs immediate attention. 
​

   The outcome of both the Rolfing 10-series and individual Rolfing sessions is to release chronic patterns of stress, tension and dysfunction in the structure. This will improve posture, create more efficient movement with quicker recovery, and increase overall energy to be able to expand the human potential and balance in body, mind and spirit.


   Rolfing is for everybody. My clients include musicians, athletes, actors, lawyers, therapists, acupuncturists, tech, office people, and everyone in between of all physicality levels. Attempting to address chronic injury, improve performance or understanding of body somatically, or simply a monthly check-in with yourself. Rolfing is optimal for wrist pain, back pain, hip pain, shoulder pain, joint pains, neck pains.
