Rolfing is a lesser known healing art than acupuncture, chiropractics, massage, Reiki and others. Rolfing California practitioners and others are known for using deeper and more aggressive pressure. The process which many term Structural Integration works to release tension and reshape the fascia which is extremely thin tissue made up of threads which run in opposite overlaid patterns beneath the skin.
The institute, located in Boulder, CO offers two different programs. One for those who already hold credentials and certificates in other healing arts and one for those without experience. Each program has different requirements based on what individuals may have learned in previous training sessions.
Both programs are self-study based and offer a three phase approach to learning. The training can generally be completed in twelve to eighteen months. In each program, lessons will focus on structural integration including specific training in kinesiology, physiology and anatomy. Unlike traditional courses in these areas, these lessons focus on the ability to differentiate different body tissue through touch, the principles of tissue integration, recognizing the difference between structural and functional patterns and how to conduct a complete ten series session known as a recipe.
Individuals will learn how to conduct movement sessions which are based on rolfing principles. Lessons in how to practice tissue building and restructuring techniques are one of the most important aspects of the learning process and will be offered throughout different study periods. Whether an individual has previous training or otherwise, it is important that all students complete the professional ethics training associated with the practice.
Individuals working with practitioners often find benefits worth the discomfort most feel after a session. For those with extremely sensitive skin, or who have a fear of being touched, the practice may not be the best option. It is up to each person to decide whether rolfing may be beneficial based on individual comfort levels.
It has yet to be discovered why placing pressure and remolding the fascia threads provide such results. Some believe it is due to the remolding of the tissue and that a great deal of emotional trauma with life events which the practice helps to release. This theory is akin to the same theory that individuals tend to store stress in various parts of the body. After which, the blockage of energy in the cellular structure later causes the development of cancer and other terminal illness.
Those who work with practitioners for a full recipe often have great things to say about this healing art. As with all practices, individuals always need check with a primary care provider or holistic practitioner to determine which practices may work best for current needs. Most holistic practitioners and traditional medical staff support the practice as an add-on, if not primary medical care for a number of conditions.
Once a program is completed and one becomes a practitioner, there are still continuing education requirements every five to seven years. There is also a requirement that one become a member of the Rolf Institute. An annual membership is given to all graduates the first year with required annual fees in years following graduation. Membership allows one to use all the marks and services provided by the institute as long as the member remains in good standing.
