Rolfing Technique Indications and Contraindications

Rolfing technique indications and contraindications
Indications—Rolfing is indicated for people who have a lack of well being. It is important to note that the Rolfing process is not a treatment for any medical condition. It can help people feel better, and improve their structure over time, but it is not a cure for any disease or disability. That being said, Rolfing is indicated for people that are experiencing acute or chronic pain, or those who have tight muscles. It is indicated for people who have malformations in their musculoskeletal system caused by the effects of gravity—the skeleton may get pulled slightly out of shape by the effects of the stiffening and thickening of the connective tissue matrix that holds the body’s shape. Rolfing is indicated for women who are planning to conceive. Rolfing stretches the connective tissue in the area of the pelvis, back and abdomen, which will help the woman have less muscle aches and more stability and mobility when conception occurs. In some cases women are allowed by their OB doctors to continue with Rolfing throughout the pregnancy as long as the practitioner does not apply too much pressure in the area of the pelvis and abdominal area. Rolfing is also indicated during the post natal period. The woman’s body has gone through a lot of changes, and connective fascia manipulation will help support her during her recover phase.

Deep manipulation can cause increased pain in the back, shoulders and neck.
