How did these structural changes come about in this man as a result of his being Rolfed? You can check that out at my web site, www.vermontrolfer.com. Was it a torture for him? Is Rolfing as painful as some think? Absolutely not.
At the same time, it isn't a massage. It is intense, in a way that many people describe as a good pain. What people who have heard about Rolfing and pain, but have not been Rolfed, do not know, is;
l. An experienced Rolfer has lots of depths and speeds of working, each tailored to the physical needs and receptivity of each client.
2. As a Rolfer, I always stop if I feel any clenching, tightening or withdrawing from my pressure.
3. If I miss any cues that the work has moved from a good hurt that you are welcoming to a hurting hurt, please say "Stop." I will stop immediately. As soon as the pressure is withdrawn, there is no discomfort.
4. After a Rolfing session you may feel slightly sore, though not til the next day, in a way that might feel like an overexercised muscle. It is rarely a big deal and is gone soon. More often, people just feel great.
