Rolfing® Structural integration

Rolfing® Structural Integration (SI) is a process that works with your body using a unique hands-on method of manual therapy and movement. Rolfing® SI improves your body's alignment (posture) and motion. The basic series includes 10 sessions. The 10 sessions cover all major segments of the body: arms, legs and feet, torso (front and back) and head.

When your body is in good alignment, movement feels as if it comes from your center and has a sense of ease. Typical benefits of Rolfing® SI include reduced chronic tightness and pain; increased freedom of movement; using less effort to move and perform daily tasks; and resolved compensations from injuries. Clients have said they feel taller or that their shoulders feel broader. Some people may feel lighter on their feet or find that activities like running or jumping take less effort. Rolfing® SI may help to resolve holding patterns or compensations from injuries, or help reduce habits like slouching. Rolfing® SI has the potential to help you feel better in your body.

You may schedule your Rolfing® SI series at a pace that's right for you. Many people find every other week to be a good frequency and others prefer sessions monthly or weekly.

A client describes the improvement they experienced from Rolfing® SI:

"I've completed the 10 session series and feel noticeable improvement in the alignment of my body. I'm definitely more balanced. My body moves more freely and with a greater range of motion. I've had previous PT for a frozen shoulder and now I can't even tell which shoulder it was. After the 10 series, I see Barbara on an as needed basis. She is very knowledgeable and can tell which areas need attention. My issues are addressed and I feel fabulous after a session. I will be back."

CranioSacral therapy (CST) is a gentle technique that helps release restrictions and balance the body. It can address common conditions such as headaches, TMJ, whiplash, or joint pain. A client with foot pain told Barbara she experienced complete relief after her CST session. This method is relaxing and helps reduce stress-related discomfort or tightness. CST is safe for babies and children to help reduce colic, crying and attention disorders.

Barbara's clients tell how their symptoms improved with CranioSacral Therapy:

"Barbara helped me to alleviate pain through Structural Integration and CranioSacral bodywork. Since visiting her, my chronic pain has vastly improved. She is professional, conscientious and knowledgeable."

Barbara studied CranioSacral Therapy with Dr. Maureen Schwehr and Janet Berryhill, of the Heartwood Institute.

Do you have a scar from a surgery or injury? Would you like to improve its appearance or texture? Would you like to resolve strain in the tissue around the scar? Barbara's clients experience positive changes in the appearance of scars. They have improved functionality and less referred pain.

Here's what one client had to say:

"Barbara worked on my knee surgeries scars for about an hour and Wow! What a difference. There is less pulling around the areas, the scars are a bit lighter in color and less lumpy. Very good experience. Thank you!"

Wheeler Fascial Work for Scars, developed by Sharon Wheeler, a Rolfer®, is a gentle method that greatly helps most scars. Addressing scars in this way may also reduce numbness and improve circulation. It is a simple and powerful technique!
