Discovering 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.

The institute, located in Boulder, CO offers two different programs. One for those who already hold credentials and certificates in other healing arts and one for those without experience. Each program has different requirements based on what individuals may have learned in previous training sessions.

Unlike massage in which there are a number of styles for different needs, rolfing is a whole body practice. Based on a recipe which involves ten visits to a practitioner, the practice unlike massage has specific applications which are used in sequence. To get the most out of rolfing, it is important that individuals attend all ten sessions.

Individuals will learn how to conduct movement sessions which are based on rolfing principles. Lessons in how to practice tissue building and restructuring techniques are one of the most important aspects of the learning process and will be offered throughout different study periods. Whether an individual has previous training or otherwise, it is important that all students complete the professional ethics training associated with the practice.

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.

The study and timeline to obtain a certificate for those with experience is slightly different and takes less time. The 3 phase program for experienced individuals focuses on structural integration, different levels of touch, tissue manipulation and restructuring, professional ethics, application theory and movement. The cost is about the same for both the basic and advanced programs.

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.
