Photographs show that the changes of the basic Rolfing series are still present many years after the series is complete. On the other hand, as bodies change, and people sometimes have injuries, accidents and stressful times, additional work may be useful. The total cost of the ten sessions of Rolfing varies according to the Rolfer and the local economy. Movement Integration sessions are comparably priced. Where Rolfing deals with patterns of structure, Rolfing Movement Integration re-educates the body's movement patterns.
Life is motion.
When we are unable to meet life's demands to move in certain ways, tension results. Familiar symptoms of this kind of tension are low energy, aching muscles and stress. A Rolfing Movement Integration teacher works to guide the client in replacing binding tension patterns with free and well-integrated movement. Rolfing Movement Integration usually consists of eight or more sessions spaced one or more weeks apart. Sessions can be done in groups or in private.
