How does Rolfing® work?

An initial series of Rolfing® usually consists of 10 sessions, each lasting 60- 90 minutes and generally spaced 1-2 weeks apart. Under your Rolfer’s skillful eye and touch, each session builds on the results of the previous ones.

As Rolfing® progressively reduces structural restrictions, your body becomes aligned and you move with ease. After completing your basic Rolfing series, periodic tune up sessions can refresh this feeling of integration and remind your body of its most efficient balance. Eventually, you may want to complement your initial Rolfing® experience with Advanced Rolfing® and/or Rolf Movement Integration.

Advanced Rolfing®, performed by a Certified Advanced Rolfer, balances deeper layers of your body’s structure and furthers the level of structural integration in your body. Advanced Rolfers have completed additional training to prepare them for working with deeper structural issues. Practitioners of Rolf Movement Integration (RMI) have additional training in movement studies. Undertaken alone or in conjunction with your Rolfing sessions, RMI improves the efficiency of your movement. It teaches you about body awareness, refines your individualized movement patterns and boosts your performance.

“My daughter and I have been going to Wanda for several months for Rolfing sessions. My body feels lighter and is more mobile than before. I am able to twist my body further than I have in years. Also, my back does not hurt anymore when I stand on tile. We have seen a big improvement in my daughter’s lower back area that has been plagued with Scoliosis since she was a toddler. Thank you, Wanda, for your hard work and patience with our daughter.”

“Wanda Silva’s expertise in the art of Rolfing is amazing. Her knowledge of body work and restructuring comes with care and compassion. During my time with her I was relieved of chronic pain throughout my body and began to know myself from inside. I have never felt so confortable in my own skin. Thank you Wanda!”

“Wanda is a very skilled and knowledgeable rolfing therapist. My sessions with her have brought major changes to my body-mind-emotional system. Posture is now upright and open, walking is an easy and fluid movement, and breathing is efficient rather than a chore. Wanda’s use of rolfing enabled me to dredge up and release long buried emotional debris. We are very fortunate to have a person of Wanda’s caliber in our midst."

“I have received work from several Rolfing therapists in years past, none as masterful as Wanda Silva! Wanda is a potter, re-molding the body. She combines her education, expertise, skill, intellect, and intuition to determine how and which area of the body needs to be remolded. She then works diligently on the tissues to create change. And she does this, incredibly, without creating pain… a talent that not many other Rolfing professionals have mastered. I highly recommend Wanda Silva’s work!”

“Since I began my sessions with Wanda I have felt much less tension in my back and shoulders, and an increased awareness of how different areas of my body feel.”
