Top 5 reasons how the Rolf Method can benefit you:
5) Energy! The less energy your body has to use to just be upright means you have more energy for living, creativity and even healing. 90% of the brain’s output is for balance (Dr. Roger Sperry). Integrate the human structure, improve myofascial balance and you have more energy. This is why clients so often comment that they feel lighter after a session. They are using less energy just to be.
4) Enhanced body connection. As the name of this work, Structural Integration, implies, the goal is to integrate the human structure. As the body finds a new sense of balance, it no longer has to pose or brace itself. Instead, the body begins to trust itself. For the individual this can be a new feeling, one that they might not be able to put into words, but is clearly reflected in how they stand and move. For an athlete, this may translate into better performance, resilience and durability.
3) Age Better. Balance is an issue with aging, but does it have to be? What if the body has become hardened from a lifetime of… life? What if we lose our balance from losing the suppleness of a foot that has been constrained by shoes. This hardening of the body is a loss of trust in the body. Structural Integration is about creating myofascial balance. This work can help you age gracefully, not feel your age.
2) Chronic pain. You’ve tried everything under the sun and nothing has helped. Maybe it’s time to take a different approach. “When the body gets working appropriately, the force of Gravity can flow through, then spontaneously, the body heals itself.” (Dr. Ida Rolf)
1) Posture. Maybe you sit or stand at a desk all day, or have scoliosis. Maybe you had an accident or played sports. Somehow you “struck a pose” and are stuck in it. No other modality comes to mind to improve one’s posture as does Structural Integration. So come explore and learn what it means to “Find your Line.”
