Although it is sometimes called “Rolfing massage”, it is very different from massage. Massage usually works with the muscles, to provide temporary relief when they have become overtired or strained through inefficient posture. Rolfing works on this network of tissues, or ‘fascia’, to release tension, realign the posture and balance the body. It takes its name from Dr Ida Rolf, the American biochemist who developed the system in the middle of the last century. She recognised that the body is a web-like system of networks of connective tissues rather than a collection of separate parts. Rolfers themselves take a holistic view of the body and the person. Rather than trying to “fix” symptoms in isolation, a qualified Rolfer will look to optimise the deep structures of the body to organise it with the primary force that acts upon it – gravity. When the body is aligned well, the causes for specific problems often resolve, or at least are easier to work with. The potential benefits of Rolfing include alleviating pain, reducing discomfort and creating a sense of bodily ease and wellbeing.
