talk to a certified Rolfer near you ….The hips play a crucial role in maintaining balance and overall body stability. They serve as a central point in the body's kinetic chain, impacting posture, movement, and the alignment of the spine and lower limbs. Proper hip alignment and function are essential for activities ranging from walking and running to sitting and standing.
Hip pain can result from various conditions, including arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, injuries, or structural imbalances. It can significantly impact mobility and quality of life.
Rolfing, also known as Rolfing Structural Integration, is a therapeutic technique that involves deep manipulation of the body's connective tissues (fascia) to realign and balance the body's structure. The hips are integral to maintaining balance and stability. Misalignment or dysfunction in the hips can lead to compensatory patterns and imbalances throughout the body, affecting overall posture and movement.For individuals experiencing hip pain, Rolfing can offer several benefits:
Through targeted manipulation of the fascia and surrounding tissues, Rolfing can help release tension and reduce inflammation, leading to decreased pain and discomfort in the hip area. Rolfing works to increase flexibility and range of motion in the hip joint and surrounding muscles. This can help individuals move more freely and with less pain. By improving circulation and releasing chronic tension patterns, Rolfing can support the body's natural healing processes, aiding recovery from injuries or chronic conditions affecting the hips. Rolfing addresses the entire body's structure, not just the symptomatic area. This holistic approach can provide long-term relief by addressing the root causes of hip pain.
Overall, Rolfing offers an alternative approach to traditional treatments for hip pain with lasting results.
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.

Reading articles and especially research takes effort… but sometimes you have to do the deep dive. This list of articles and research papers explore hip pain 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.
