talk to a certified Rolfer near you ….Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It typically develops gradually and can persist for months or even years, significantly impacting daily activities and quality of life.
In the context of frozen shoulder, Rolfing can be particularly beneficial. The targeted manipulation of fascia around the shoulder joint can help reduce adhesions, enhance mobility, and alleviate pain. Additionally, Rolfing addresses compensatory patterns that may develop due to restricted shoulder movement, promoting better posture and movement efficiency.
Overall, Rolfing offers a holistic approach to managing frozen shoulder, supporting the body's natural healing processes and facilitating a return to pain-free movement.
The Rolfing Technique of Structural Integration is a therapeutic process during which the practitioner restores span and mobility to the structures of the forearm and hand. This is achieved through sustained pressure through the Rolfer’s hands. As the alignment and mobility are restored in the structure, biomechanics in the wrist improve. Many people experience positive results quickly, however long lasting results require a course of treatment.
Rolfers realign the structure in its entirety over the course of 10 sessions. It is not a symptom oriented approach but rather a series of sessions designed to restore length and mobility to the whole body. With movement instruction we will also address how your posture in sitting, standing and walking could change, to help prevent a re-occurrence and bring you more ease generally.
Rolfing has shown itself to be an effective treatment for Frozen Shoulder.
After years of clients and colleagues asking for a
user-friendly
explanation of Rolfing SI I decided to write The Power of
Rolfing.
Clients who experience the benefits of Rolfing want to share
it with
others—they want a book that explains what they experienced.

Since I started the Rolf Method of Structural Integration, I have not had any back spasms. In addition, my posture has improved and the tension in my shoulders and back is gone. I have not had any spasms in over eight months."

Reading articles and especially research takes effort… but sometimes you have to do the deep dive. This list of articles and research papers explore Frozen Shoulder in more depth and describe clinical studies and the other research ongoing in the field of Fascia research and trauma.
Important Note: It's important to note that Rolfing, like any alternative medicine, may not work for everyone, and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. It is recommended that individuals consult with their healthcare provider should they have any health issues before beginning any new treatment approach, including Rolfing, to ensure it is appropriate for their condition.
