Rolfing redux
I remember this came up a bit back so I am cutting and pasting my "morning tip" from Dr. Weil.
Tip: The Advantages of Rolfing
Rolfing is not simply massage. It's a form of bodywork intended to restructure the connective tissue (or fascia). Basic Rolfing consists of 10 intensive sessions in which the practitioner applies firm -- even painful -- pressure with the fingers and elbows to specific parts of the body. For people who are open to rolfing, it can be a great way to get more in touch with your body -- and change long-standing problems of bad posture and chronic pain (like back pain). Rolfing can also release repressed emotions as well as diminish habitual muscle tension. If you want to make some kind of change in your life and work on your body, you might consider rolfing. For a referral in your area, contact the Rolfing Institute of Structural Integration.
