Online movement sessions from District Rolfing let you reach your goals and stay COVID safe
District Rolfing is now offering online movement therapy sessions, using techniques from the Egoscue Method and Rolf Movement. These sessions use the same approach and principles of Rolfing - however, instead of the therapist hands-on work, they use your own movement and awareness to make the change. The results are excellent, even for people with pain issues, and best of all, give you the tools to help yourself move out of pain on your own.
During the session, we first do a postural and movement assessment, just as we do in in-person sessions. After identifying where the root issue is, we develop a set of exercises which, done as a set, will address the underlying causes of the problems. Just like in a regular session, we aim to get the whole body to work better together- not working on isolated muscles. During the session, we go over all the exercises, which you then do on your own at home daily, with online support as needed. This repetition helps the body learn new, balanced patterns.
If you're interested in a session but not sure, try the postural assessment and consult alone - about 15 minutes - free of charge.
In-person sessions are on hold until at least the end of the year due to COVID. However, if you'd like more information on Rolfing or are interested in getting on the list to be informed when in-person sessions are available, please contact me at districtrolfing@gmail.com.

Rolfing is an effective approach to improve the body's structural balance and ease of movement. As mobility and alignment improve, you feel better. Rolfing provides lasting results by actively engaging the body's innate intelligence - the body mind. Athletes, dancers and artists, professionals, and people who use their hands and bodies at work have all benefited from Rolfing. It's safe, gentle and appropriate for every age and body type. Every session is adapted individually for you.
At District Rolfing, Rolfing is integrated with other whole-body therapies to best meet your needs. You don't need to decide which - you can come in for a session and we'll discuss your goals or ask for a free initial phone consultation to learn more Rolfing and other therapies provided at District Rolfing: Barral neural manipulation and visceral manipulation, traditional Thai bodywork, and Egoscue exercise therapy. |
It's like learning to ride a bike. Once you learn how it feels in your body, you never forget.
