Having been a Licensed Massage Therapist for over 12 years and now a Certified Rolfer, I can say from knowledge that the dissimilarity between the two manual therapies is striking. Yes, they have look likes such as having the aptitude to slacken deeper, reduce stress, promote relaxation and well being and also tighter tissues. Have a look at the article taking us through the theme How rolfing therapy san diego is different from deep tissue massage.
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".
This method of body and spine alignment certainly has its share of superstar endorsements (Oprah being one of them). It certainly isn't new though - people first heard of this in the sports movie with Burt Reynolds from 1977 called Semi-Tough. Among those with whom yoga seems all been-there-done-that, the intenseness of the pain and the feeling of rightness involved in Rolfing is certainly drawing a fanatic following.
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.
Anyone who has completed training at any of the other schools of Structural Integration may not use the terms, Rolfing, Rolfer, or Rolfed at any time. Rolfing is a brand name for the process of Structural Integration. Over the years, as Ida P. Rolf developed her life's work, her clients and students referred to the process as Rolfing for short, over her name of the work, Structural Integration.
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.
Rather, it is an extension of other alignment techniques like yoga. A practitioner kneads your connecting tissue nearly to breaking point. Being flexible is just something you should be doing for yourself. That in the process, you have done for you. The treatment lasts for ten sessions to fully see the reduction of pain.
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.
