What A Rolfing session looks like
I totally get it, you probably never even heard about Rolfing until today or if you have you still don’t know what the heck it is let alone what to expect.
I want to answer all the curiosities that you might have about this type of body work so you can feel comfortable before walking into any practitioners room.
Here’s a Breakdown
Consultation with me (paperwork)
Stand in-front of me
Walk
Pre-tests
Session
Post tests
I want to get to know you! So first I want to do our initial questions and break downs of your body. These questions can include your goals, where you are feeling tension, pain or restriction. What your well-being is like and what do you do to manage that. Also any injuries or major surgeries I should know about.
After all of that is completed. I want you to stand in front of me. I know yikes but I need to see how your body is currently existing in gravity. Here I look at major posture differences in your body. Such as shoulder and hip heights, the arches of your feet, rotations in the arms and legs, and head placement over your shoulder. Yes there are many more than that but those are the big picture things I am initially looking at.
Then I want to see you walk. Sometimes I already take a look as you come into my office so I can see what you are naturally doing. This can show me a lot with what is going on in your body. What is moving and isn’t moving or is moving in funky directions that we want to address.
Pre tests can be different each session based on what we are working on. These also can be a good baseline to see what has changed throughout the session and you can feel the difference from the beginning of the session to the end.
Finally you are on the table and are getting worked on. If you have committed to the 10 series each session works on a different part of the body and has an intention. I will ask you to do movements throughout so we can get all the tissue working and gliding along itself again.
At the end I’ll ask you to stand in front of me again so I can look to see if there’s more work that needs to be done and we can do your post tests.
Now you are off to integrate the work until your next booked session!
