What exactly happens during a session?

The session starts with an analysis of the posture and movement of the client. This then results in the treatment , where the individual is either laying, sitting or standing. Depending on the area in body the Rolfer then works with hands, fingers or ellbow. The tension in muscle and connective tissue will be balanced out and the individual movement pattern will be changed. This can greatly help the client with breathing or movements. In addition there is the option of perception or movement exercises.

Normally a Rolfing series is a set of 10 sessions. One session is around 1 – 1,5 hour. The time lapse beween should be 1-2 weeks.

First session is 600,- CZK, the following sessions are 1.500,- CZK, children from 5 – 15 years pay 50%. Babies and toddlers are free.


What conditions can Rolfing help with?

The primary aim is an improvement of the structure, posture and movement of the human body. So Rolfing can be useful with every problem in the structural field, here are some examples:

• People who are out of balance or feel chronical stress
• People who have problems through a one-sided strain in job
• People, who want to improve the mobility and feeling of the body (actors, dancers, sportsmen).

Many clients expect reduction of pain. Sometimes pain has no clear medical explanation. The Rolfer looks less to the “reason” than to the whole body and tries to achieve the clients healthy balance. This will reduce most of the unpleasant symtoms.

What are the long-term benefits of Rolfing

The results of Rolfing do not only stay, they continue to develop. Changes through Rolfing take place in the physical body but also in subjective experience. Because of our life circumstances, our feeling for the body is very often less developed. Through the Rolfing session it significantly improves. A better feeling within the body can stimulate positive developments for years in the structure and psychology.

Stress, accidents and the ageing process have a negative effect on the posture. After some time, it can be useful to have refreshment sessions.

What age is Rolfing useful for?

Rolfing can help people from every age and with many different problems. Rolfing sessions for children are shorter and the time lapse inbetween is longer.

Can Rolfing have any negative side effects?

If you feel ill, you should consult your general practitioner. There are specific conditions that are not suitable for Rolfing and these will be fully explored before any intervention is started.
