Do you ever feel like your body is carrying too much tension, or maybe those persistent aches just don’t seem to ease up? Whether it’s a stiff neck, lower back discomfort, or simply feeling “off,” these could all be signs that your body is out of alignment. That’s where Rolfing Structural Integration at MY Integrated Body can help.
Understanding Fascia: The Body’s Hidden Web
Fascia is a continuous web of connective tissue that wraps around and supports everything in your body — muscles, bones and organs. Think of it like the white pith of an orange, holding everything together. When fascia gets tight, it’s as if you’re wearing a jumper that’s too snug, restricting your movement and causing stiffness or discomfort.
Over time, stress, injuries, or repetitive movements can cause fascia to lose its natural elasticity. Rolfing gently releases these restrictions, restoring flexibility and ease. Imagine taking off that too-tight jumper—feeling lighter, more relaxed, and able to move freely while breathing easily again.
Who Can Benefit?
Whether you’re an active athlete, a desk worker, or someone who just wants to feel more comfortable in your body, Rolfing can be a game-changer. It’s particularly beneficial for:
Lower back pain
Neck and shoulder tension
Stiffness in your hips or knees
Repetitive strain injuries
Posture issues
Headaches and general tightness
What Does a Rolfing Session Look Like?
Each Rolfing session is a personalised experience, tailored to meet your body’s needs in the moment. My approach blends observation, gentle hands-on work and guidance to help your body realign and move more freely.
Here’s what you can expect:
Observation: I begin by observing how you move—your walk, posture and even how you breathe. These subtle patterns reveal where your body is holding tension or out of balance.
Listening with Touch: Using a gentle, hands-on technique, I listen to your body through touch, feeling for tightness or restrictions in your fascia. My goal is to release these areas, inviting your body into a more balanced and aligned state.
Guidance for Movement: Throughout the session, I guide you toward better, more efficient movement patterns. This ensures the benefits last long after you leave the treatment room, helping you feel more stable, supported and confident in your daily life.
This holistic approach not only releases physical tension but also empowers you to connect with your body on a deeper level. Every session leaves you feeling lighter, more aligned and truly at ease in your own skin.
The Rolfing Ten Series: A Comprehensive Approach
While individual sessions can be incredibly beneficial — and significant change can happen in just one session — the Rolfing Ten Series is a recommended, structured approach designed to progressively realign your body. Each session builds on the last, guiding you toward better alignment and ease of movement.
Sessions 1-3: Freeing the surface layers and improving breath.
Sessions 4-7: Focusing on the deeper core to stabilise the legs, pelvis, and spine.
Sessions 8-10: Integrating everything, aligning your body as a whole for long-lasting change.
This comprehensive series helps create a foundation for lasting transformation in how your body feels and moves.
Sarah's Story: "I used to wake up with stiff shoulders and a dull ache in my lower back every day. After trying countless therapies, nothing seemed to stick. But after my first Rolfing session, I felt something shift. It was like my body was finally letting go of years of tension. Now, I move with more freedom than I’ve felt in years. It’s not just pain relief—it’s a complete reset." — Sarah, Warners Bay
