What is Rolfing®

CAN ROLFING IN ASHEVILLE HELP ME?
​
Rolfing® Structural Integration is a body-based
therapy that reorganizes the fascia, soft tissue, skeletal
structure, and the nervous system to bring the whole
body into greater alignment. Here in Asheville, North
Carolina, Sky’s Rolfing sessions look for patterns in
the body that are inhibiting the person’s potential to be
physically spacious and at ease. Sessions focus on
unwinding these patterns by using specific physical
pressure and movement cues. Because our bodies are
not separate from our emotional and mental states,
changes in physical structure can dramatically improve
mood, mental function, and overall quality of life in
addition to eliminating chronic pain, poor posture, and
limited range of motion.
​
Sky is trained and skilled and a wide spectrum of
contact from extremely subtle to very intense. Her
clients are always encouraged to communicate their
needs for more or less pressure. Clients can wear
whatever they are comfortable in, which can range
from exercise clothing to undergarments. (Masks are
also required during COVID-19, except when
receiving sessions face-down.) Normal exercise
routines can be continued during the ten-series and
Sky is happy to discuss movements, stretches, and
lifestyle hacks that will support the bodywork
sessions.

The Ten-Series

Typically, clients seeking Rolfing in Asheville, NC
choose to participate in the 10-Series – the classic
whole-body formula developed by Ida P. Rolf PhD in
the 1940s. Our sessions together systematically work
layers and regions of the body, allowing for the
greatest amount of change to take place. Each of the
ten sessions are 90 minutes in length, and are typically
completed in two to four months, allowing time for the
body to integrate new possibilities. While the 10-
Series is not required, and individual sessions are also
effective, the 10-Series approaches the body from the
lens of changing not only the pain or dysfunction, but
also the deeper pattern driving it. The 10-series will
bring more long-standing results.

"This is the gospel of Rolfing:
When the body gets working appropriately,
the force of gravity can flow through.
Then, spontaneously, the body heals itself."
