Feel better in your body
Rolfing and remedial massage are both hands-on forms of bodywork, offered as distinct sessions to serve different purposes. Remedial massage and bodywork works directly with areas of pain, tension, and soft tissue restriction, helping reduce discomfort and support easier movement. Rolfing takes a broader view, exploring how posture, movement, and long-standing patterns contribute to pain or restriction. While both approaches support comfort and function, the choice between them is guided by what your body needs most in that moment.
What is Remedial Massage?
Remedial massage is a targeted form of bodywork that focuses on specific areas of pain, tension, or injury within the body. It works directly with muscles and soft tissues that may be tight, overloaded, or not functioning as well as they could, often due to strain, overuse, stress, or acute injury.
Rather than addressing the body as a whole system, remedial massage concentrates on the area of concern, using hands-on techniques to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and restore local movement. This can help ease pain, support recovery, and provide relief when a particular area feels sore, restricted, or inflamed.
Remedial massage is often helpful for managing short-term pain, muscular discomfort, or flare-ups, and can be an effective part of a broader care plan alongside movement, exercise, or other therapies.
What is Rolfing?
Rolfing® Structural Integration is a hands-on form of bodywork that works with fascia — the connective tissue that shapes posture, movement, and how your body organises itself in relation to gravity. Over time, pain, injury, stress, repetitive habits, or ageing can create patterns of tension and compensation that pull the body out of balance and make movement feel effortful or uncomfortable.
Many people arrive at Rolfing after exploring more traditional approaches such as physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic care, remedial massage, or exercise-based rehabilitation, yet still sensing that something deeper or more global hasn’t quite resolved. Rather than focusing only on the site of pain, Rolfing looks at the whole person and how the body functions as an integrated system.
Through precise manual bodywork and gentle movement awareness, Rolfing helps release long-held strain in the fascia and supports the body to reorganise toward a more natural alignment. As structure improves, movement often becomes lighter, more coordinated, and less effortful. These changes tend to integrate gradually and sustainably, often continuing well beyond the treatment room, as the body learns a new way of moving, perceiving, and being at ease.
