The New Kid On Rolfing Therapy San Diego In Body And Spine Alignment
Have you ever heard the saying six one way, half a dozen the other? One of my most influential mentors used to say this to me all the time as a child when I would ask questions about something that was essentially the same. Have a look at the going article taking us through the topic the rolfing therapy san diego method of structural integration verses trade.
However, the Structural Integration can be defined as a systematic approach that attempts to restore balance and alignment to the whole body for long lasting pain relief. Deep Tissue Massage is different from the other in that it tends to focus on techniques for each individual muscle strain, it is temporary relief, and does not address or release the system wide compensation patterns, or the root cause of your pain, dis-function, or "stress".
A standard Deep Tissue massage session is usually a one hour, full body treatment. The results are immediate, and there is not a required specific number of sessions. The amount of sessions recommended really depends on the wants/needs of the client. The strategy of therapeutic process is determined by the client's reports of symptoms of pain or stress.
Rolfing treatment requires a specific number of sessions to work the entire body. Treatment consists of ten 60-90 minute sessions, spaced one to three weeks apart, depending on the client's needs. Each session strategically builds upon the other, and the results are cumulative even after the Ten Series process has ended.
Rolfing treatment can get very aggressive and very painful. If this seems not very different from what the chiropractors do, Rolfing involves the aggressive manipulation of the connective tissue (otherwise known in the lingo as the fascia) as opposed to the bones and the muscle that the chiropractors deal in. It has to be aggressive because the connective tissue can be really tough to manipulate.
The common lingo could go something like, I was Rolfed today, or I am going to see my Rolfer, or do you know anything about that Rolf stuff? The politics surrounding this confusion can create a difficult and cumbersome task for people who are looking for, and learning about, Structural Integration. Let's say a person has worked with a Rolfer and has moved to a new city.
They go to find another Rolfer to receive continued care but none can be found because there may not be any Rolfers in that particular city. It is possible that their Rolfer never referred to the work as Structural Integration, the actual name for the process, and the person does not know what to do. In this new city there may be Structural Integrators though, but the person does not know that this Structural Integrator has been taught and practices the same thing as their Rolfer.
Rolfing is not just a therapy involving direct manipulation of soft tissue. Integrating the newly changed structures into a functional, moving holistic body is a unique, indirect and educational aspect of the work. Deep Tissue Massage often does not include movement education, such as working with the client in motion, let alone off the table. Benefits of integrating postural and anatomical cues with the client off the table, in gravity, can help the client bring the experience of their Rolfing sessions into their daily lives.
