The core principle of Rolfing therapy is the concept of massage structural integration, which is the idea that the body functions as an interconnected whole rather than a collection of isolated parts. Rolfing practitioners believe that by addressing the body's overall structure and alignment, they can create lasting changes that improve the body's overall function and well-being. The Rolfing approach is based on a series of 10 sessions, each of which focuses on a specific area of the body and its relationship to the whole. Through these sessions, the practitioner works to release restrictions in the fascia, realign the body's structure, and integrate the various systems (muscular, skeletal, nervous, etc.) into a more harmonious and efficient whole.
