As a result of Rolfing, people commonly report feeling physically taller, lighter and more flexible, better balanced and greater self-confidence. As a result, discomfort or pain in the body is alleviated. It is important to remember that because no two people are alike, each experience and its benefits will cater to the individual.
While Rolfing is primarily concerned with physical changes in the body, it does affect the whole person. As well as our physical being, we are made up of emotions, attitudes, belief systems, and behavior patterns in concert with perceptions of body image that all determines how the person is shaped and what their limitations are in how they move. For some people, the physical holding patterns they have adopted can be related to emotional holding or tension. For others, their structure may carry the effects of an emotional experience. Aligning the physical structure is a useful tool and complementary to psychotherapy and/or personal development work.
