Re: rolfing

["David J.Day" <Psicopath@xxxxxxx>]

Wowdude, rolfing is a method of systematically manipulating
the body and educating both the body and mind.  The intent
is to bring greater order and balance to the body's structure
by realigning the soft tissue which supports the muscle.
   It is a hands-on, deep massage which is not painful and
works wonders for knots in shoulders as well as less-than-
optimal posture.
   I went through my first series of ten sessions about ten
years ago; my rolfer was a massage therapist who went
back to school to get certified in rolfing (Dr. Ida Rolf
started this; the school is in Boulder).  She moved to
Seattle and I now go to a rolfer who has been rolfing for the
last 20 plus years.  I usually get a "tune-up" about 2-3
times per year, usually to fix mishaps (turned ankle; gain/
loss of weight).  Now I'm going about every 2 months
because I'm training in competitive body building and want
to stay balanced.
   Let me know other questions; I'd be glad to answer.
