Rolfing is aimed at anyone who wants to improve posture, coordination and vitality and get rid of tension. Good results are achieved with chronic problems with the musculoskeletal system as well as postural problems following an accident or psychological trauma. Rolfing is also particularly suitable for people who depend on the functionality of their body – craftsmen, athletes, artists and singers benefit from increased freedom of movement and performance, heightened body awareness and increased vocal volume.

Rolfing optimizes:

The following conditions respond well to Rolfing: neck and shoulder tension, back pain, whiplash, sciatica, headaches/migraines due to tension, tendinitis, tennis elbow, craniomandibular dysfunction, carpal tunnel syndrome, and many others.

The Rolfer uses his fingers, knuckles, fist and forearm to work on the deep layers of muscle fascia, ligaments, tendons and membranes. Tightening, stretching and moving these tissues restructures the musculoskeletal system, relieves tension pain. As a result, the body finds to a more natural, effortless posture with increased freedom of movement and improved body awareness. The results of the manual inputs are consolidated through targeted movement training and activation of self-awareness.

First results are often noticeable after the first session, but the process of change usually extends well beyond the last treatment appointment. The changes are usually permanent, but individual follow-up treatments every few months consolidate the results.

A first Rolfing series usually consists of 10 to 13 sessions of 60 to 70 minutes each, one to three weeks apart. Before treatment begins, the Rolfer discusses the individual treatment goals with the client, notes posture and checks movement patterns. Sessions one to seven focus on a different region of the body. In the following sessions, the Rolfer works to integrate the body into a symmetrical whole.

Rolfing offers good opportunities for lasting changes. Of course, long-term success depends on the respective initial situation. Age, general condition and condition of the body structure play a decisive role. The willingness to change and the willingness to actively participate in the process also have a positive influence on the results.

Rolfing is a recognized method of complementary medicine. Complementary insurance usually covers a large part of the costs. Be sure to contact your health insurance provider before your first treatment.
