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-SeriesTypically, 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. Benefits commonly reported from clients seeking Rolfing in Asheville:

"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."
