As well as nurturing the physical functioning of the body,
Rolfing® can promote an increase in one's
emotional sense of well being.
The state of balance in our bodies is reflected in feelings -
emotions of the moment determine the degree of
muscle tension throughout the body.
Balance might be thought of in a healthy body as a resting
state, a capacity and a readiness for response
to all kinds of stimulus.
In our hurried and pressured lives, we often function in a
state of imbalance with emotion held in check as
we cope with everyday pressures. For some this
might result in lowering the head, raising the
shoulders and depressing the chest until the
pattern becomes set in the body.
For another, the pattern may take the form of tension in the
legs or back. Muscular tension and emotion are
two aspects of the same organic pattern.
Chronic muscular tension creates a shortening of connective
tissues; so that eventually the tissues are no
longer capable of lengthening; they have an
effect not only on a person's way of moving, but
on their way of feeling.
