Rolfer Vivian Gettliffe offers Rolfing structural integration, including the strategic series, post-series work, and stand-alone sessions as needed. Rolfing structural integration is a type of strategic bodywork that helps your body reset to a more optimal alignment by releasing compensations and holding patterns that keep you out of balance. Over time the body adapts its structure to meet life's challenges, whether injuries, work or activity demands, or psychological challenges as well. These compensations often become woven into the fabric of the body as engrained habits of use that persist long after they are no longer needed. In Rolfing S.I., manual touch and movement are used to strategically address these compensations and to invite the body into a healthier, more comfortable configuration. If you experience chronic pain or tension that is caused or aggravated by postural imbalances, then, as your postural alignment improves, your pain or tension should decrease. Other typical benefits include greater ease and flexibility, improved energy, increased body awareness and functionality, greater relaxation, and improved appearance. I work in close collaboration with clients to ensure that the broad range of touch used feels like a welcome invitation to change. Most clients find Rolfing structural integration to be a pleasurable experience. Rolfing structural integration is a way of making friends with gravity, which in turn makes more room in your body for your life!
