How Rolfing Therapy San Diego Is Different From Deep Tissue Massage

By John Hayes


Having been a Licensed Massage Therapist for over 12 years and now a Certified Rolfer, I can say from knowledge that the dissimilarity between the two manual therapies is striking. Yes, they have look likes such as having the aptitude to slacken deeper, reduce stress, promote relaxation and well being and also tighter tissues. Have a look at the article taking us through the theme How rolfing therapy san diego is different from deep tissue massage.

I remember it driving me so crazy hearing this answer over and over as a young child. Then one day it clicked. I asked a question and he gave me the same six one way, half a dozen the other answer and I looked at him and he smiled. I smiled as it finally made sense. As we work very hard to bring Structural Integration out of the mystical mountains and into the forefront, people can often be confused by what this analysis is being called.

A standard Deep Tissue massage session is usually a one hour, full body treatment. The results are immediate, and there is not a required specific number of sessions. The amount of sessions recommended really depends on the wants/needs of the client. The strategy of therapeutic process is determined by the client's reports of symptoms of pain or stress.

Rolfing treatment requires a specific number of sessions to work the entire body. Treatment consists of ten 60-90 minute sessions, spaced one to three weeks apart, depending on the client's needs. Each session strategically builds upon the other, and the results are cumulative even after the Ten Series process has ended.

Anyone who has completed training at any of the other schools of Structural Integration may not use the terms, Rolfing, Rolfer, or Rolfed at any time. Rolfing is a brand name for the process of Structural Integration. Over the years, as Ida P. Rolf developed her life's work, her clients and students referred to the process as Rolfing for short, over her name of the work, Structural Integration.

Spinal alignment isn't the only benefit to this either. Patients report benefits to their blood pressure, and a drop in their body weight. The can achieve over a couple of sittings what yoga, physical treatment or anything else rarely achieve. And yet, it is seen not as an entirely new kind of treatment.

In Rolfing, systemic connective tissue patterns are lightly lengthened and loosened slowly-layer by layer, separating the layers that adhere to muscles that have been pulled out of position by strain or injury. Rolfing healing and education is also received in sitting and upright movement, which in terms help improve posture, flexibility, neural programming, self-awareness, coordination, and athletic performance.

We are now in a period of time where we have many great schools that are teaching some derivative of the Rolf Method of Structural Integration. Most schools refer to their graduates as Structural Integrators, but a few may have their own label or term. A good example of a language issue can be seen when we look at automobiles or cars. I remember my best friend's family and how they referred to their cars.
