What We Do:

Our bodies must constantly deal with gravity  and when we are out of balance, gravity drags us down. Whether from poor posture, injury, illness or emotional distress, an unbalanced body is at war with itself and with gravity.
Fascia, the body's complex web of connective tissue, shortens and thickens to shore us up against gravity's ever-present
influence.

ROLF BODYWORK® is a hands-on therapy that uses slow, sustained pressure and guided movements to release these patterns of
strain within fascia. By gradually softening and lengthening this connective tissue that relates bones, muscles, joints and organs to
one another, the body is allowed to realign itself more efficiently with gravity.

In ROLF MOVEMENT® the client gets to explore fundamental patterns that allow action to become more efficient and expressive.
Together, this structural and movement integration can bring about changes that are lasting and effectively reduce chronic pain
and stress, enhance balance, and refine coordination.

Rolfing® aims primarily at organizing and balancing the body as a whole, not just relief of symptoms. However, it often does benefit:

*  Back Pain
*  Pelvic & Hip pain
*  Neck & Shoulder pain
*  TMJ
*  Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
*  Repetitive Strain Injuries
*  Injury Rehabilitation
*  Postural Alignment
*  Balance
*  Flexibility
*  Athletic Performance

PLEASE NOTE: I've suspended my practice and currently living outside the US. I do return to California to work occasionally, but please check the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute's Directory to find a practitioner in your area!
