Rolfing is a highly 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 advanced structural and body-mind 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 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.
