This is good stuff.

There is a strong connection between unsolved psychological conflicts and physical tension, according to psychologist and Certified Advanced Rolfer® Thomas Heinrich. If an inner conflict is not solvable, the muscle tension becomes chronic which can lead to a thickening of collagen fibres and stiffening of the tissue.

Rolfing® can activate a memory of the situation that has created the conflict, which is mostly experienced as a relief by the client. Rolfing doesn’t just affect a person on a body level, but also on an emotional and cognitive level.

That is, we can go deep without making it hurt.

Great words by Dr. Ida Rolf to bring us into the new year.

While I am in the process of putting together my own copy about Rolfing and what it does, please feel free to take a look at this page from the European Rolfing Association. It's full of information about why you should care about Rolfing, and why you should consider giving Rolfing a try.

Do you want to be more flexible? Breathe with more ease? Have less back pain? Then Rolfing® SI might be right for you. This holistic bodywork is based on the discoveries of American biochemist, Dr. Ida Rolf. Below are 7 reasons why Rolfing can benefit you:

I apologize for not posting for a while. I was doing a thing called "traveling," which was out of style last year, I guess. Anyway, here's (another) good article about fascia. We Rolfers work with fascia!

https://www.massagemag.com/our-understanding-of-fascia-from-packing-material-to-central-role-121748/

Fascia is the focus of this essay, part of MASSAGE Magazine’s 35th-anniversary coverage. It has been my self-appointed task since 1974, when I first met Ida Rolf, PhD, and switched my career …

Did you know that, in addition being a Rolfer, I am also a certified biodynamic craniosacral therapist?! (This is where most of you would say, “no.”) Anyway, I can use my skills as a Rolfer and a craniosacral therapist to help access a client’s vagus nerve, which may help with digestion, stress management, and breathing restrictions. If you’re interested in learning more, you can read the article below and/or call/text me at 612-210-4654. I am also reachable by email at parkrolfing@gmail.com. Thanks!

Healthy vagal tone means emotional regulation, greater connection and better physical health as well.

This a a good article about how what fascia is, how it works, and how it gets stuck. During a Rolfing session, we work with the fascia and bring the flexibility and mobility back not only to fascia, but muscles and joints, as well.

It's more than just a buzzword.

Are you experiencing any of these work-from-home (or work-from-the-office or work-in-a-vehicle) difficulties? Rolfing™️ is great for loosening tight shoulders, necks, backs, and hip flexors, and it can open up your lungs and breath to help you move and breathe with greater ease. Give me a call or text at (612) 210-4654 if you would like to schedule an appointment or learn more about Rolfing™️.

Quarantine is turning you into a stiff, hunched-over, itchy, sore, headachy husk.

Here’s a great article discussing fascia and how Rolfing can help with aches and pains (and migraines, plantar fasciitis, shoulders and hips that don’t have much range of motion, etc.).

Meet fascia, the connective tissue weaving through your body that studies show is key to untangling tightness for good.

Between the stressors of the holidays and COVID-19 (and its accompanying restrictions), tension and pain in your joints and muscles may be becoming more pronounced. Rolfing is a great way to bring a greater sense of physical and mental ease to your whole body.

I am still seeing clients during this latest phase of restrictions. You will have to look at me behind an inverted face shield and a mask, but if you can deal with that, feel free to contact me via Facebook messenger, my email at parkrolfing@gmail.com, or by phone call or text at 612-210-4654. Hope to see you soon!

The effects of Rolfing didn't really sink in until the day after my second session.

In Rolfing, we help release the fascia. That’s part of why Rolfing is so darn effective.

Experts say studies could reveal discoveries about our anatomy, including cures for illnesses.

Rolfing can really help with “opening” your chest and restoring breath after a bad cold.

Did you know, after the flu or pneumonia, or anytime there has been excessive coughing, the front of the body often collapses?

In this case, Rolfing can help restore a more lifted torso and open the chest and shoulders.
