Fabrizio Picchione PhD is an Advanced Certified Practitioner of the Rolf Method of Structural Integration also known as Rolfing. He discovered to have a deep passion in body work after receiving the full 10 sessions program of Structural Integration, which helped him recovering from his long term shoulder and back pain. He trained in the US, under the supervision of Emmett Hutchins, who has now mo
re than 40 years of experience in Rolfing. Since he started practicing the Rolf Method of Structural Integration he has helped many people discovering a new sense of balance and freedom in their body, which led them to overcome physical pain and discomfort. The aim of Rolfing-Structural Integration is to balance the body structure using a myofascial release technique specifically affecting the fascial connective tissue. If we compare the human body to a camping tent, the poles are the bones and the tent's ropes are the fascia fibers. The tent is not held by the poles, but by its ropes, or rather their tension is what makes the tent stand still and not collapse. With Rolfing the tension in the ropes can be adjusted and your body can be reorganized around its vertical axis. You will not only get a better posture and coordination, but you will also experience a greater flexibility and a better breathing, improving your physical and sport performance and rediscovering a general feeling of well-being. The body structural changes obtained with this holistic technique will continue to improve even after the end of the full treatment. Fabrizio was born in Italy and has lived in USA for many years, where he has also worked as a muscle cancer researcher. Beside the Rolf Method of Structural Integration certification, he holds a doctorate in molecular and cell biology obtained from the Erasmus university in Rotterdam.
