What You Can Do for Relief Scoliosis

How can Rolfing® soothe the struggle with scoliosis?

Rolfing Structural Integration can alleviate the symptoms associated with Scoliosis. Rolfing is a form of physical manipulation that has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including scoliosis and other curvatures of the spine.

Scoliosis can't be corrected, as in cured, in any age group; scoliosis is an incurable, progressive condition. Proactive treatment, however, can help counteract the condition's progressive nature by strengthening the spine and its surrounding muscles and reducing scoliosis on a structural level.

Rather than directly treating the spine itself, Rolfing practitioners instead focus on balancing the body with the following benefits:

  • Reducing Pain: Through targeted manipulation of the fascia and muscles, Rolfing SI can alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with scoliosis. This can enhance the individual's quality of life and daily functioning.
  • Enhancing Mobility: Rolfing SI helps to increase flexibility and range of motion, making it easier for individuals with scoliosis to move more freely and with less restriction.
  • Supporting Overall Well-Being: By addressing the entire body's structural imbalances, Rolfing SI promotes better body awareness and holistic health, which can be particularly beneficial for managing scoliosis.

Overall, Rolfing Structural Integration provides a complementary approach to traditional scoliosis treatments, focusing on improving alignment, reducing pain, and enhancing mobility.

Client Testimonials

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.
