The Rolfing® Ten Series

The Rolfing® Ten Series involves ten sessions, each ranging from 70-80 minutes. Each session has specific goals to address a particular segment of the body as well as the ‘overall goals’ (decided by the Rolfer and client) of the series.

Rolfing cannot accurately be described as a therapy or as a returning of the body to a ‘natural’ state from which it has deteriorated. Rather, it is a process of education in which a Rolfer seeks to help a client discover the most efficient way of using her/his body, given the limitations, liabilities and virtues of that body.

All sessions are conducted by Michael Pellegrino, Certified Rolfer . These may include techniques of physical manipulation, movement education, fitness exercises, and advice on changes in the home and work environments.

The benefits of these sessions include:
Reduction of muscular strain and fatigue.
Knowledge about moving more successfully in your body to off-set stress,   fatigue, and pain.
