The 10 Series + Sessions

The 10 Series

New clients to Rolfing® often begin with a series of Ten, 60 minute sessions designed as a comprehensive approach to integrating your whole body.

The TEN SERIES is like a tune up for your entire body. It is a carefully designed systematic approach to align your structure; each session builds upon the last and prepares the body for the next. Movement education is integrated into each session in order to encourage long-term change and allow for new possibilities of movement. This Ten Series process restructures the body in segments, aiming for optimal vertical alignment by balancing the body from front to back, side to side, top to bottom and inside to outside until complete integration is achieved.

Rather than only focusing on the place that hurts or feels stiff Rolfers™ focus on improving the organization of the entire structure and all of its movement patterns. Other forms of body work can offer a quick fix but results are seldom permanent because often the area that hurts is the result of a secondary issue or compensatory pattern. Focusing where it hurts goes after the symptom, not the problem or big picture.

You may have hurt your ankle and limped around for a week. This caused an imbalance in your knees and hips which lead to a compensation in your shoulders and subsequent pain and tension in you neck 20 years later. Until the underlying base of the problem is addressed and the entire structure is balanced and integrated, the pain and tension will remain as your body continues to struggle to hold itself upright. Rolfing® gets to the root of the problem to create permanent results.
