Rolfing Structural Integration with Jacqueline

  • +Rolfing Structural Integration is a manual therapy that aims to reorganize and balance the body's fascial system.

    +Fascia is a connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs. Over time, due to injury, stress, or poor posture, fascia can become tight and restricted, leading to discomfort and limited mobility.

    +Certified Rolfers use their hands to apply pressure, release tension, and manipulate fascial tissue to encourage better alignment and balance within the body.

    +This leaves clients with a greater sense of awareness and comfort in their bodies, as well as reduced pain, and enhanced ease of movement. Rolfing also supports psychological and emotional wellness.

  • +Athletes, dancers, children, business professionals, and people from all walks of life have benefited from Rolfing.

    +Anyone seeking to improve their overall health, address specific body discomforts, or enhance their physical and emotional well-being might find Rolfing beneficial.

    +It is particularly helpful for individuals with posture issues, chronic pain, or those involved in regular physical activity.

  • +Used to resolve discomfort, reducing compensations and alleviating pain.

Rolfing SI 10-Series Overview

  • Open the breath: A free and open breath prepares the body for the demands of the upcoming changes. A full breath provides support for the chest, shoulders, and neck. Some work on the arms may occur.

  • Find the feet: Opening the breath changes the physical demands on the feet so we can create flexibility and adaptability there so that the whole body can feel supported.

  • Lengthen the sides, balancing front and back: Now we open up the sides of the body and differentiate soft tissue of the pelvis from that of the ribs to allow the pelvis more movement options.

  • Find support for and access the core from the bottom: The core begins from the base of the pelvis up through the roof of the mouth. We start this session by finding support through the ankles up along the inner leg before accessing the core.

  • Access the core from the front: We focus on the deep tissues dealing with the front of the spine and core space to establish flexibility in the low back.

  • Access the core from the back: We address the deep tissues of the back of the spine and core space to establish flexibility in the low and upper back.

  • Access the core from the top: By working in, on and around the head, we balance the head and neck on top of the flexible spine.

  • Integrate the upper/lower body: Depending on the needs that present themselves, we solidify changes in the upper or lower body. Integration sessions help reprogram movements and make changes last.

  • Integrate the upper/lower body: Changes in the other part of the body are reviewed in light of the changes of the previous session.

  • Integrate the entire body: We coordinate soft tissue movement across multiple joints so that movement can be as unfettered and free as possible.
