Various structural and movement imbalances may be blocking you from reaching a more stable state of body and mind. 

The Rolf Series goal is the physical and emotional evolution of an individual through the lengthening and integration of the body.

Founded by Ida P. Rolf, PhD, Structural Integration is a powerful combination of manual therapy and movement which may be complemented by Yoga, Acupuncture, Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Pilates and other disciplines.

Item Special Note

Structural Integration aligns and balances the body by lengthening and repositioning the fascia. As fascia is lengthened it allows the muscles to move more efficiently. The practitioner will apply pressure to the body, working the entire fascial system in a systematic way. When restricted fascia is released and lengthened the body can return to its structurally optimal position

The continuing pull of gravity, the stress of daily activities and physical injuries can pull the body out of alignment. The fascia gradually shortens, tightens and adjusts to accommodate the misalignment. When the body is out of alignment it creates inefficiency and imbalance resulting in stiffness, discomfort and loss of energy.

When a body is aligned and balanced it moves with greater ease. It requires less energy to function. Good posture is effortless and breathing is easier. The body becomes more flexible, more coordinated and athletic performance improves.
