They are like chalk and cheese. Chiropractic centres around joints in the spine. These joints are the gateway to a healthy body and cracking them is how one passes through. Rolfing is based on the idea that good health is good movement, and good movement is a product of differentiation. When our anatomy is stuck together movement isn't possible, and when its unstuck (or differentiated) it is. Hands-on soft tissue (fascia) manipulation is employed to introduce movement where there isn't any.

The ideal interval between sessions in the initial stages of your Rolfing process is 2 weeks. The releases experienced during a Rolfing session need time to settle into the body; days, weeks and indeed months depending on how much tissue is moved. A fortnightly session gives your body the time it needs to adjust to the change whilst building momentum in the beginning of your process.

Medical treatment comes in two forms: medicine and surgery. All other forms of healthcare, such as Rolfing & chiro, are collectively known as complementary therapies as they are seen to complement mainstream medical care. The Rolfing method is unique amongst chronic pain management techniques as Rolfing treatment involves hands-on fascial tissue manipulation alone. As such it's best thought of as an alternative to medical treatment (medicine & surgery) and not as alternative medicine.

Absolutely. Most clients find Rolfing to be an ideal complement to other treatments they receive. In fact, most clients report that the benefits they derive from their existing treatments dramatically increase after they've begun Rolfing. Whatever the case, Rolfing works with you to deliver the solution you've been searching for.
