talk to a certified Rolfer near you ….Plantar fasciitis is a common condition characterized by pain and inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes. This condition typically causes stabbing pain near the heel, especially with the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest.
Rolfing, or Rolfing Structural Integration, is a therapeutic approach that focuses on manipulating and realigning the body's connective tissues (fascia) to improve posture, enhance flexibility, and alleviate the pain of plantar fasciitis. Rolfing practitioners take into account the entire body's structure and alignment, not just the affected area. By addressing underlying structural imbalances, Rolfing aims to provide long-term relief and prevent recurrence of plantar fasciitis.
Rolfing techniques also aim to release tightness and tension in the fascia of the foot and calf muscles, which can reduce strain on the plantar fascia and alleviate pain. More importantly, by addressing imbalances and misalignments in the feet and lower limbs, Rolfing helps to improve the overall mechanics of the foot. This can reduce stress on the plantar fascia and promote better foot function.
Through improved circulation and the release of chronic tension patterns, Rolfing supports the body's natural healing processes, aiding in a full recovery from plantar fasciitis and through Rolfing Movement Integration exercises sustains that recovery for lasing relief.
Rolfing offers a comprehensive and holistic approach to addressing plantar fasciitis by focusing on releasing tension, improving foot mechanics, enhancing mobility, promoting healing, and improving overall body alignment and function.
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.

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.
