Visit my blog to see Rolfing® videos. COMMON QUESTIONS
10 sessions are recommended. Each session address a different system in the body: breathing, standing, balance, relationship between the two sides of the body, body trunk to the end of the arm, Thorax, shoulder girdle movement, etc. The synergy of the sessions over time creates the balanced results you want. What should I wear? Comfortable, loose fitting close that retain modesty and allow bodywork are the optimal choice. Most men wear running shorts or underwear. Women find that their underclothes or a two-piece swimsuit work best. Does it hurt? Pain is a very unique experience for each person. Pain and pleasure are very closely related. Many people describe their experience of Rolfing as ranging from mild to intense and from pleasurable to occasionally painful. This sensations depend on the adhesions and stiffness in the area. If it is free of restrictions, the postural integration is easier. How are Rolfers trained? To be fully licensed and certified, Practitioners must complete 2 years of study at The Rolfing Institute for Structural Integration This is followed by a 5 year continuing program of education. Areas covered are Behavioral and Biological sciences, Rolfing Theory and extensive supervised clinical work.
Absolutely! Their bodies are more pliable and resilient than adults. Children have not suffered years of stress and few physical injuries. They respond very quickly to Rolfing and therefore the sessions are shorter. The number required depends on age, structural and developmental stages. Rolfing holds great promise for children and their parents. Are there contraindications for Rolfing? Yes. Acute illnesses or active cancer are definitely contraindications for Rolfing. Disabling conditions, connective tissue disorders or pregnancy may also be contraindicated. Each person is unique and should talk to Richard about their condition and personal issues. Your medical history and current medication are discussed before therapy begins. This evaluation helps identify your areas that require special attention. Does insurance cover Rolfing? Rolfing work may be covered by your health insurance, but often it is not. Many times a letter of medical necessity is required from your doctor or chiropractor; it is best to check with your insurance provider to identify their requirements. Sometimes it’s a matter of wording — "myofascial release" or "neuromuscular re-education” may be terms your provider prefers. Check to see if your employer provides flexible spending options (sometimes called a “medical spending account” or "cafeteria plan"). These plans set aside a portion of your annual income tax free to be used for medical, dental and childcare expenses. Plans such as these usually cover Rolfing and don’t require a referral.
