Exploring The Benefits Of Rolfing California

By Lila Bryant


Rolfing is a healing art used to aid in calming and curing a number of symptoms related to emotional and physical illness. While not as visible as acupuncture, chiropractics, massage and other forms of energy work, it is one of the key practices in the genre. Many rolfing California practitioners and others use the process to reform and reshape the fascia, a pattern of threads which run in cross patterns between skin and bone.

Although, while chiropractics focus on skeletal aspects of the body, rolfing focuses on the fascia. The practice is based on a pattern of 10 treatments called a recipe. Many who work with these practitioners to alleviate pain, stress and emotional blockage indicate the benefits are far more reaching as well.

Massage provides a great deal of healing and relaxation; Rolfing on the other hand requires more intense pressure because it works to reshape and restructure this thin tissue. When receiving a treatment, practitioners often put the full force of body pressure so as to massage and manipulate each thin thread of skin tissue.

The tissue is then transformed into new patterns. The process not only generates integrated healing patterns within the body but also helps to release emotional distress. Most individuals find this to be quite beneficial. Those with little to no knowledge of the practice can sometimes find the emotional release a session a shock to the system.

Like with recipes for food and drink, there are instances where no matter how much a practitioner tries, the recipe is just not successful. It is for this reason that some believe there is no proof Rolfing has seen success in treating or controlling various health conditions. For those who have experienced the benefits, there is no denying that the practice has helped alleviate, and in some cases, cure symptoms.

The three phase program for those without experience includes work with anatomy, physiology and kinesiology. Structural integration, application theory and ethics are also an important part of the training. While tuition is expensive, individuals obtaining certification can often see a return on the investment within a few years time as a certified practitioner.

Those who work with practitioners for a full recipe often have great things to say about this healing art. As with all practices, individuals always need check with a primary care provider or holistic practitioner to determine which practices may work best for current needs. Most holistic practitioners and traditional medical staff support the practice as an add-on, if not primary medical care for a number of conditions.

Individuals who have early childhood or other emotional trauma which has been dormant due to therapy or other work, need consider this aspect. While it can be extremely difficult, the practice can help release any negative energy still related to such trauma but it might take a great deal of patience and work to overcome the emotional release of such energy. A number of individuals whom have completed the recipe say the greatest benefit is that the process healed body, mind and Spirit while also promoting a freer and less stressful life in the future.
