Sessions are 60-75 minutes long. Please allocate 75 minutes in your schedule to ensure a complete, unhurried experience.
What to Wear? Comfort is essential during your session. Here are some suggested options:
Women:
running shorts and a jogging bra.
yoga shorts and sports bra, or underwear.
Important Note for Women:
Please ensure your sports bra or top doesn't come up high on the neck area. This allows for more effective work around the neck, shoulders, and upper back during your session. Racerback or standard strap styles that sit lower on the shoulders are ideal.
• Choose clothing that makes you feel both comfortable and modest. You'll be moving and changing positions during the session, so wear items that allow you to feel at ease while maintaining appropriate coverage.
Men:
• Running shorts
• Compression shorts
• Underwear
How Many Sessions do I Need?
Treatment Plans The classic Rolfing series consists of 10-13 sessions, but your treatment plan can be customized to your specific needs. Whether you're interested in the full series, addressing a specific issue, or maintaining results with occasional sessions, we'll create a plan that works for you.
Do I have to do a 10-series to Receive Rolfing?
Not at all. We can customize a treatment plan to suit your needs. That can be a full 10 series, a few sessions to address a specific issue, or any combination of the two. Many clients like to continue getting sessions after the ten series because they like the work.
Time Between Sessions?
Session Scheduling For optimal results, sessions are typically scheduled 1-2 weeks apart, with a maximum interval of one month between sessions.
Is it Painful?
Modern Rolfing has evolved with our understanding of human physiology. Through my advanced training with experienced practitioners, I've developed techniques that are both effective and respectful of your comfort level. While the work can be deep and direct, it doesn't have to be painful to achieve results.
How are Sessions Structured?
Initial Check-in We begin with a brief conversation about your current state and any changes you've noticed since your last session.
Structural Analysis Before and after table work, we assess your structural patterns through standing and walking observations. This helps track progress and inform treatment strategies.
Table Work Sessions take place on a comfortable padded table, where I use hands, forearms, and elbows to work with your body's fascia (connective tissue). You'll be positioned in various ways—on your back, stomach, or sides—depending on the session's focus. Throughout the treatment, you'll be actively engaged through specific movement cues to enhance the work's effectiveness.
Final Assessment Each session concludes with a walking assessment, allowing you to experience and understand the changes in your movement patterns. This awareness helps integrate new, more functional patterns into your daily life.
