Rolfing®︎
Rolfing®︎, a form of bodywork focusing on manipulating the body’s connective tissue, aims to improve posture, balance, and movement efficiency by releasing tension in the fascia. For athletes, benefits include enhanced flexibility, reduced risk of injury due to better muscular coordination, improved postural alignment for optimal performance, quicker recovery from strain and injury, and increased overall mobility and range of motion. Though sessions can be intense, many athletes seek Rolfing for its potential to boost performance and prevent injury by promoting a more resilient and harmoniously functioning body.
