Rolf Method of Structural Integration
3500 Hours Clinical Experience With Over 30 Conditions
Reorganize Postural Alignment
Heal Chronic Pain
Athletic Performance Work Rolf Method of Structural Integration is a scientifically validated system of body restructuring and movement education that releases your body from lifelong patterns of tension and bracing, permitting gravity to realign you. This type of bodywork, unlike other therapies or forms of care that focus on muscles or only on joints, focuses primarily on fascia and connective tissue which connect everything together. It forms in bands beneath the skin to attach, stabilize, enclose, and separate muscles and other internal organs. Philip uses special techniques to lengthen fascial planes which re-pattern and reset the musculoskeletal system allowing you to stand more upright in gravity. Philip’s work helps to correct and rebalance shortened, thickened, and dehydrated fascia that restricts and impairs joint mobility, muscle function and proper postural alignment. Rolf was the founder of The Rolf Method of Structural Integration in 1968. She designed the system as a way to deeply manipulate and reorganize the fascial connective tissue system which surrounds every muscle and organ in the body. She created the 10-session series posture balancing program focusing on a different part of the body each session in order to bring the body back into alignment with gravity. After school, Philip gained over 3500 hours clinical experience from a sports medicine clinic out of Chicago. Some of the conditions he has experience working with include:
• Bulging or Herniated Disc
• Headaches and Migraines
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Back Pain / Neck Pain
• Scoliosis
• Shoulder / Elbow / Wrist Pain
• Sciatica
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Rotator Cuff Syndrome
• Sprains / Strains
• Ligament / Muscle / Tendon Injury
• Hip Dysplasia
• Degenerated Discs
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Hip / Knee / Foot Pain
• Tendonitis
• Arthritis
He offers a 10-session series posture balancing program as well as single targeted sessions designed for your individual needs. Targeted sessions are great for a number of painful conditions on an as needed basis. They are great for getting all the “kinks” worked out in a very different way than all forms of massage. Longer lasting stress relief and greater joint mobility is a by-product of this deeper form of bodywork. Targeted sessions are also very effective for athletic performance by enhancing recovery time and achieving more efficient firing of the muscles. These types of sessions are very useful before and after intense competitions. The 10-session series posture balancing program is what got this work known when it was featured on the Oprah show with the ask Dr. Oz Show. The posture balancing program will help to re-educate your muscles to fire more efficiently so you stand more upright by balancing the whole fascial network in the body from head to toe. The postural change from the Rolf Posture Balancing work allows bones to rest in their proper plane of motion helping to reduce inflamed and compressed nerves after fascial strains in the connective tissue are balanced. Proper alignment of your postural form helps to decrease pain and increase range of motion in the rib cage to enhance lung capacity. The greater oxygen intake promotes greater health for all organs in the body and stress relief. The 10-session series posture balancing program is a wonderful tool to use for increasing overall health and longevity. The effects can last for years with only occasional maintenance work.
