Hands-on Therapy
Rolfing Bellingham practitioner Brad Jones brings 25+ years of training and hands-on experience to help people from all walks of life—sedentary, moderately active, and highly athletic—find new joy in using their bodies.
What is Rolfing?
Rolfing, or Structural Integration, is hands-on bodywork that brings the body into a new alignment and establishes better balance, greater flexibility, and improved physical abilities.
Rolfing works in a series of sessions to release the fibrous and thickened connective tissue (myofascial system) that influences the alignment of the skeletal structure. By releasing the deep soft tissue of the body, a person realizes benefits that include relief of chronic tension, increased energy, back pain relief, ease of movement, improved posture, and a sense of emotional well being.
Rolfing changes deep-set patterns.
Rolfing is more than a way of working with muscles and deep connective tissue; it is a way of changing deep-set patterns of posture, movement, and tension through manipulation and movement re-education. By releasing the holding patterns in the tissue and nervous system — the root causes of your symptoms — your body can be freed to find an easier, pain-free way to move through your daily activities.
Rolfing is an effective approach to address the after-effects of accidents and injuries, for chronic neck, back, and joint pain, for poor posture, tension, and anxiety. Rolfing can also be a valuable tool for deepening your practice of yoga, martial arts, or Tai Chi, as well as for improving athletic performance.
Unlike massage therapy, Rolfing is focused on making long-lasting changes to a person’s structure. Massage Therapy is a wonderful modality for relaxation and stress reduction and can treat certain conditions on a more physiological level. It is important to understand that massage therapy and Rolfing are very different.
