Rolfing® is not a cure for any particular disease or physical problem, but is rather a systematic approach that attempts to restore balance to the entire body. Many neck, back and other physical problems are actually the symptoms of chronic
postural restrictions. Long periods of one-sided work like sitting at a computer, driving,
or long standing hours at work can stress the body. Traumas such as car accidents, falls, surgery and sport injuries can also lead to stiffness
and pain in the muscles and joints. Rolfing is widely regarded as being one of the best
ways of dealing with such problems.
Many seek Rolfing as a way to ease pain and chronic stress, and improve performance in their professional and daily activities. Professional athletes, business people, performers, children, and people from all walks of life have benefited from Rolfing. It is a good choice for anyone wishing to improve the way in which their body works and feels.
