Rolfing®
Structural Integration
It's about Lasting Change.
Rolfing® Structural Integration is a hands-on bodywork method that manipulates soft tissues.
With the Rolfing® method we are working at the level of fascia, a pervasive connective tissue that actively supports the structure of the body. The Rolfing® process will ultimately restructure the body, improve its functional range and the capacity to move through life with ease.
This transformative process is for all ages, from new borns to the elderly.

Ten Series Approach
The Rolfing® process is done in a series of Ten sessions, tailored to the client.
Sessions 1-3 are “sleeve” sessions. We will free the superficial layers of tension and expand your breathing capacity in a 3-dimensional approach.
Sessions 4-7 are core sessions. The journey continues with the inner arch of the feet and all the way up to the head and neck. This will create postural stability in the spine and establish a natural lift in the body.
Sessions 8-10 are integration sessions. We focus on the new found functional movements and help integrate a sense of vitality, adaptability and well-being that spans the whole body from head to toe.
"I'm dealing with problems in the body where there is never just ONE cause."

Rolfing vs. Massage
It is not, as some people think, a deep tissue massage. It has more in common with osteopathy.
Rolfing works toward freedom of movement, by reorganizing the fascia, which will change the relationship of the body with gravity. The changes are lasting and profound.
Positive changes also manifest in the persons mood, self-awareness and attitude. In this manner Rolfing's effects differ from temporary effects of most massage work.
What to expect?
Rolfing is done on a bodywork table with cued movements and hands-on work. Expect to shift positions for better contact to address the areas of the body. The room will be warm and comfortable, with sheets and a blanket available.
Rolfing® Session includes a pre/post posture assessment and hands-on therapy. I recommend you allot 90mins just incase we need more time.
To closely observe and work effectively with the tissues, clients need to wear comfortable clothing. Here is a suggestion. Women - running shorts, camisole, two piece bathing suit or underwear/briefs. Men - running shorts, underwear/briefs.

TESTIMONIALS
I feel extremely blessed to have experienced the Rolfing Ten Series with Zohrab. I feel my body has expanded and I feel taller and less restricted in my entire body. I feel my posture is much improved and I walk with ease in my shoulders, chest open and hips in line without effort. I would highly recommend sessions with Zohrab no matter what chapter of life you are in. I am 76 and feel I have truly benefitted in every way possible.

I recently completed the Ten Series Rolfing sessions with Zohrab and I am very pleased with the outcome. Over the ten sessions, I learned to awaken parts of my body that had been dormant for years and how to integrate an improved awareness of these areas into my posture and movement. I am now able to sit, stand and walk with a freedom and ease that we’re previously unknown to me. Zohrab has a great depth of knowledge of physiology and anatomy, and has a great capacity for empathy; both allow for a wonderful gift of healing. I feel very fortunate to have accessed his skills.

"After only three Rolfing Sessions with Zohrab, I felt my body begin to operate in a new way. Subtle shifts continued occuring days after our sessions together. It was as if he created new connections between my mind and body. I am breathing deeper, more flexible and balanced since our time together. Zohrab's professionalism, kindness and skill allowed me to surrender fully, yet also maintain total awareness, a powerful combination. My body is responding with more ease to its surrounding and my Yoga asana practice has taken on a new depth. I very much look forward to completing the series."
