Rolfing® Structural Integration with Elias

Yes — you can absolutely begin with a single session. Some clients start there because they’re new to the work, want to experience it before making a longer commitment, or feel they only need a tune up. Others decide that a short series or the Ten Series makes more sense based on what they’re dealing with and what kind of support they’re looking for

Sessions include a brief review of relevant information, observation of posture and movement, and hands-on Rolfing® work. Rather than focusing only on one isolated area, the work looks more broadly at how your body is organizing as a whole. Many clients value not only the hands-on work itself, but also the opportunity to better understand the patterns shaping their overall experience.

Those who are suffering from certain Autoimmune diseases (including lupus, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis) and bone fractures or acute soft-tissue injuries are contraindicated. Once injuries are healed, you can schedule a Rolfing Session. You can include your primary care physician in the process as they may like to know what else you're doing for self care. On occasion, those who are using ceartain medications such as blood thinners may experience bruising from the work.

The work can feel intense at times, but it is not meant to feel overwhelming or forced. The experience varies from person to person and from session to session, and communication is important throughout. If something feels too intense, that can be adjusted.

Men can wear gym shorts, swim trunks or their underwear. Women can wear gym shorts and sports bra, 2-piece swimsuit or their bra and underwear. The clothes should not be restrictive, and you can dress in what you feel most comfortable in. After the initial assessment, you can be covered with a sheet throughout the session.

Insurance is not accepted. However, most employers offer Health Spending Accounts and Flex Spending Accounts which you may use. Contact your provider for more details.
