What is Rolfing Movement?

Rolfing Movement® Integration is a system of movement education based on the concepts developed by Dr. Ida P. Rolf. Rolfing Movement focuses on developing balance and support for action in the gravitational field, on learning to move harmoniously with gravity, and on evoking an open and responsive body in which inner strength and centered-ness can be chosen instead of outer tension and armoring. The results are increased grace, ease, and efficiency of movement; a more powerful sense of self; and often the relief of physical stress caused by gravity-resistant movement patterns.

Rolfing Movement sessions are ideally integrated into an initial Rolfing series (for example, it is common to add three movement sessions to the 8-12 initial structural sessions). They can also be explored as an independent series of 5-7 sessions independent from the structural work, or integrated into any future series of sessions.
