Rolfers™ make a lifelong study of the human body as a structural unit, with a focus on balancing it in its relationship with the earth and the earth's gravitational field. Much of the pain you're experiencing comes from old traumas. Let's face it, it's a big planet and when it's your body versus the planet, the planet usually wins. Earth 1, you 0. That's the way it is for a two-year-old tripping on the sidewalk.
Unfortunately, by the time you're 35 or 45 or 65 or older, the score is more like Earth 307, you 0. No wonder you hurt!
The pain is primarily in the connective tissue of your body (also known as your fascial network). Rolfers work with the fascia of the body to bring it back into alignment. In the process they also remediate many of the old injuries, both large and small, that generate much of the pain in a body. Traumas also arise from repetitive stress due to job-related or sports and performance activities. Even emotional traumas can leave tracks in the fascial network of the body. These, too, can be addressed in a Rolfing® structural integration series.
