"Like yoga, Rolfing is one of those practices that your body instantly tells you makes a lot of sense."

Rolfing in Graz

Rolfing Structural Integration is a form of manual therapeutic bodywork most often (but mistakenly) associated with massage therapy. Where the goal of massage is generally relaxation and easing muscle tension, Rolfing works towards permanent structural and functional changes that last.

Rolfing is like a tune-up for your body, realigning your posture so you move and feel better. It does this by working with the body's connective tissue, or fascia. This fascia is everywhere in your body: it penetrates, supports and surrounds all of the muscles, bones, nerves and organs. Rolfing works on this web-like matrix to release chronic tension patterns and realign and balance the body, alleviating pain and resolving discomfort. The end result is that you feel more at ease, and you'll move better.

Adults, seniors and even children can all benefit from Rolfing because it's gentle sessions are tailored to each client's needs.

Rolfer in Graz

I have been Rolfing in Graz since 2003 when I moved from the US to Austria. I completed the first part of my Rofing education at the Rolf Institute of Stuctural Integration in Boulder, Colorado (US), the educational institution founded by the developer of Rolfing Structural Integration, Ida P. Rolf. I chose to attend the European Rolfer program for the final phase of my Rolfer training – this took place in Munich and was organized by the European Rolfing Association.

I decided to become a Rolfer after "getting Rolfed" while I was studying massage at the East West College of Healing Arts in Portland, Oregon. I had knee and back problems for years, likely largely due to my racing bicycles while completing my degree at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. Rolfing resolved my problems, allowing me to run without pain. I continue to thoroughly enjoy physical activities such as running, martial arts, yoga, kettlebell and slackline. I'm happy that I can now help others to enjoy their bodies more.
