Rolfing® and sport

Rolfing® works by aligning the structures of the body, bringing balance and organization that maximizes efficiency in movement. Efficient movement prevents injuries. Rolfing® also dramatically increases flexibility. When muscles and limbs are flexible, they can better soak up an otherwise injury causing impact.

People who are involved in sports often report that Rolfing® fas improved their mobility and coordination. No matter if you are a student who likes skiing, a businessperson who regularly plays tennis or a physician practicing belly-dance, your movement will become more effortless, effective and gracefull, as your body gains greater structural balance and smoother muscle activity. Moreover, Rolfing® allows the atheletes to breathe better which diminishes fatigue and shortens their recovery time. Athletes who have been rolfed are better aware of their breathing and thus better able to relax and control their stress level. But the most important aspect is that Rolfing® opens up spaces in the body, which allows the athletes to move in a well-integrated way. And we are not talking about the physical only. We talk about the entire person. The higher level of integration in each member of the team furthers respect for his teammates and promote the team spirit.
