The Process
The hallmark of Rolfing Structural Integration is a standardized recipe known as the Ten- Series, the goal of which is to systematically balance and optimize both the structure (shape) and function (movement) of the entire body over the course of ten Rolfing sessions.
Each session focuses on freeing restrictions or holdings trapped in a particular region of the body. A practitioner also maintains a holistic view of the client's entire system during each session, thus ensuring the transformational process evolves in a comfortable and harmonious way.
Sessions 1-3
Called the Sleeve sessions, session 1-3 strive to loosen and balance surface layers of connective tissue.
Sessions 4-7
Referred to as 'core sessions and examine terrain found between the bottom of the pelvis and top of the head.
The idea of core also includes the deep tissue of the legs for its role in support.
Sessions 8-10
Provide an opportunity for the practitioner to blend previously established advancements, and ones yet to be made, into the body in a way that encourages smooth movement and natural coordination.
Once completed the wisdom of the Rolfing Ten Series will drive and support the body with health for years to come.
