I (Jared) googled "longevity Rolfing" this morning and this was the AI summary. I thought it was pretty good. Give it a read.

Rolfing is linked to longevity and enhanced quality of life by restoring structural balance, reducing pain, and improving mobility, particularly for aging bodies. The body continues to adapt and integrate Rolfing work long after sessions are complete, and the benefits can be long-lasting, though periodic maintenance sessions may support continued comfort and grace as the body ages. [1, 2, 3]
How Rolfing Promotes Longevity

• Structural Integrity: Rolfing addresses structural imbalances in the connective tissue (fascia) that can cause discomfort and reduced mobility as people age. By realigning the body, Rolfing reduces the effects of gravity and promotes better posture, freeing up energy pathways.
• Pain Relief: The deep tissue manipulation and movement education in Rolfing can alleviate chronic pain and discomfort associated with aging and structural issues.
• Improved Mobility and Energy: By correcting imbalances and improving posture, Rolfing can lead to increased flexibility, better coordination, and a greater sense of energy.
• Progressive Integration: The body continues to adapt to the structural changes introduced by Rolfing, with benefits often increasing for months after a series of sessions is completed.
• Body Awareness: Rolfing educates individuals about their body's patterns, empowering them to make sustainable changes and avoid the habits that lead to pain. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

Rolfing and Aging

• Counteracting Aging Effects: Rolfing is particularly beneficial for seniors who often experience the negative effects of gravity, poor posture, and decreased flexibility.
• Maintaining Quality of Life: By enhancing alignment, easing chronic pain, and improving overall well-being, Rolfing helps older adults maintain a higher quality of life.
• Support for the Aging Process: While the standard 10-session series may not need to be repeated, periodic Rolfing sessions can provide support as the body ages, making the process more comfortable and graceful. [2, 3]

Finding a Certified Rolfer

• For those interested in Rolfing, you can find a Certified Rolfer™ through directories like the one provided by the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute (https://mms.rolf.org/members/directory/rolfers_by_location.php?state_code=MN). [8]

Rolfers work to support and change the vertical collapse in the human structure. Rolfing structural integration—a systematic process of fascial manipulation—always looks at how we inhabit our environment.

More mobility through Rolfing® Structural Integration?

A new scientific study (Schleip et al., 2025) with 563 participants shows: after 10 Rolfing sessions, mobility, body balance and breathing mechanics improved significantly:
👉 “All parameters showed statistically significant improvements after the intervention.”

The analysis provides valuable impulses for further research. We are particularly pleased that members of our scientific network were also involved in the publication, including our Research Director Prof. Dr. Robert Schleip and Research Advisor Dr. Katja Bartsch.

Our next free infant bodywork clinic is Saturday, April 19. It is open to babies from birth through crawling. Sessions are very gentle and relaxing.

If your baby has trouble sleeping, feeding issues, oral ties, torticollis, hates tummy time, is tense and cranky, is developing a flat spot, had a traumatic or assisted birth, has other issues, or no issues, come give it a try.

Appointments are one hour long. This allows for plenty of time for me to work and for feeding and changing if needed or for shy babies to warm up.

Please text or call Jared at 434-238-3733 to schedule or for questions.

Jared is a father of four, a registered nurse, and a Certified Rolfer®, trained in infant Craniosacral Therapy (CST) and infant Gillespie Approach Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT).
