Rolfing...Do you want to release your muscles so they can move freely and indeprendently again? Allow the spine to re-align? Allow your organs to function....and your depression to dissipate?
Let's look at the benefits of Rolfing to treat your depression. Rolfing was created by a doctor of biochemistry called Dr Ida Rolf. It is not massage and it is not bone manipulation. It works from the fact that our muscles each have a wrapping which is a bit like being encased by a silk bag. These silk bags can start to stick to each other as a result of life's stresses...including depression. As they stick together, instead of working individually they start to work as a mass and this mass starts to pull the spine and bones in the wrong directions....thereby pulling you out of alignment. It works to free up your muscles so they can move freely and independently again. This is vital in returning your body to a state of balance and health. Once this happens, your spine can improve its alignment and posture. And of course, once the muscles work properly the whole skeletal system can start doing what it's meant to do - support the muscles and protect the organs. It will improve you muscle and back pain, and it will also have a wonderful effect on your breathing and digestion, amongst other things. Now, if you hear talk of it being incredibly painful....ignore it. In the old days Rolfing was known to hurt quite a lot....however things have changed, and the new breed of Rolfers are gentle and just as effective. Rolfing activates the body's healing intelligence to re-create balance and harmony....so....unlike some other forms of bodywork, once you get well you stay well! A happy body is essential in overcoming your depression.
