How To Become A Rolfing California Practitioner

By Lila Bryant


Rolfing is a healing art used to aid in calming and curing a number of symptoms related to emotional and physical illness. While not as visible as acupuncture, chiropractics, massage and other forms of energy work, it is one of the key practices in the genre. Many rolfing California practitioners and others use the process to reform and reshape the fascia, a pattern of threads which run in cross patterns between skin and bone.

As the process works to reshape and transform these thin layers of threads into new patterns, it is more akin to chiropractics than massage. Although where chiropractors use pressure to reshape and restructure the skeleton aspects of different areas of the body, practitioners and others in the field use aggressive pressure to transform these deepest layers of skin tissue.

Massage provides a great deal of healing and relaxation; Rolfing on the other hand requires more intense pressure because it works to reshape and restructure this thin tissue. When receiving a treatment, practitioners often put the full force of body pressure so as to massage and manipulate each thin thread of skin tissue.

The recipe is split over ten sessions as the manipulation of these thin threads can also cause a great deal of soreness. As the threads run in different cross patterns, it is important to give each thread time to heal. Like with chiropractics, it is best to divide bodily manipulation into multiple sessions.

Like with recipes for food and drink, there are instances where no matter how much a practitioner tries, the recipe is just not successful. It is for this reason that some believe there is no proof Rolfing has seen success in treating or controlling various health conditions. For those who have experienced the benefits, there is no denying that the practice has helped alleviate, and in some cases, cure symptoms.

The three phase program for those without experience includes work with anatomy, physiology and kinesiology. Structural integration, application theory and ethics are also an important part of the training. While tuition is expensive, individuals obtaining certification can often see a return on the investment within a few years time as a certified practitioner.

Before visiting a rolfing practitioner, it is best to check with a primary care provider or generalized holistic practitioner to assure it is safe to do so. While beneficial, it is a practice that can cause minor and major discomfort throughout the process. There is also a great deal of emotional work involved which has been known to bring past emotional traumas to the surface during the process.

Individuals who have early childhood or other emotional trauma which has been dormant due to therapy or other work, need consider this aspect. While it can be extremely difficult, the practice can help release any negative energy still related to such trauma but it might take a great deal of patience and work to overcome the emotional release of such energy. A number of individuals whom have completed the recipe say the greatest benefit is that the process healed body, mind and Spirit while also promoting a freer and less stressful life in the future.
