What is Structural Integration Therapy?
Many people have heard that "rolfing" is uncomfortable. The original Rolfers were taught by Dr. Ida Rolf and the bodywork was famed as being rather painful. Since that time, many schools have opened their doors, and most have evolved to a place of listening to the body and respecting defense systems that activate when too much pressure or manipulation is done. With that said, when the fascia has shortened, twisted or rotated over the many years, most likely the reorganization of the tissues will bring a client into uncomfortable sensations. An experienced Structural Integration Therapist will work with the client at whatever level is suitable to the person on the table. If change is created too quickly, it does not integrate longterm as well. The client needs to be able to relax and feel deeply for optimal benefits.
Most Structural Integration Sessions last anywhere between 1 1/2-2 hours. In most cases, the client is dressed in his/her underwear so he/she can move easily. It is recommended to do the 10 series to receive the best advantages of this type of massage work. However, it is possible to try a session to see if this type of bodywork meets your specific needs.
Structural Integration is basically a therapeutic modality. Its intention is to create a healthy web of connections in the 3 dimensional body with order and alignment in regards to gravity.
