At the beginning of a series of Rolfing, you will be asked about your history so far, including your work, sports injuries and other important events for you. Your structure and movement will be evaluated and photos may be taken for further reference.

You will then be asked to lie on a low table and the Rolfer will use a kind of slow deep pressure to begin freeing the fascial restrictions. You may be asked to move the segment being worked on, or to breathe into that area. This combination of applied pressure and synchronised response frees and repositions the connective tissue and begins aligning the bodyâs segments. You may be asked to sit or to stand, or even walk, so that both you and the Rolfer can evaluate changes as they happen.
