Rolfing Program and Classes

Treatment Format

Introductory Session: 90 minutes $150.   The purpose of the introductory session is for us to meet and assess whether the work is right for you. Since you will experience the work directly in this session, you will be better informed about whether you wish to commit to the full series of ten sessions.

Basic Rolfing Series: 90 minutes – 10 Sessions:
The first seven sessions work build upon each other as they work with the connective tissue, rhythms of respiration and other responses of the body. These sessions help remove strain from specific areas of the body such as the lower back, neck, or knees. The last three sessions, which organize, integrate, and align the body as a whole, lead to improved balance, enhanced freedom of movement, and greater energy.

Advanced Rolfing Sessions: 90 minutes – 5 Sessions:

After completing the first tens sessions and then having several months’ integration, clients may wish to return to further reinforce new-found gains, and to focus on any specific areas of concern.

Movement Education Classes:

    These classes are designed to bring students into awareness of their body sensations and movement.  How we move is informed by our whole history: our familial movement patterns, our culture, our past injuries and compensations.

    All influences dictate how we move and how we perceive that movement, which affects our reality and experience.  Most of these patterns are governed by our automatic, unconscious, hard-wired neural pathways. We move through our lives with a complex mixture of these habitual patterns.  However, when  these patterns of movement become imbalanced and inefficient, most often they are invisible to us, leaving us at the mercy of their harmful effects.

    Using disciplines of Rolfing movement, yoga, Feldenkrais and Bodynamics, these classes bring students face-to-face with their patterns, both balanced and imbalanced.  Through explorations of body sensation, its meaning and movement, students are left with an updated version of themselves being graceful, balanced and expressive.

The work of Dr. Ida Rolf, Structural Integration, is a systematic approach working from the superficial to the core. Each individuated class takes specific themes and intentions and sequentially applies them to the students changing bodies.
These classes, using the engineering genius of Dr. Rolf’s work provides a stable and predictable template to discover and receive desired results of pain free and fluid movement.

The movement program consists of twelve two hour classes scheduled Wednesday mornings, Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons.The next program starts the week of May 10.The class location is 156 East 7th Ave (at Main and alley) The cost of the program is $300.00.
