WHAT IS ROLFING?

Rolfing® Structural Integration is a form of hands-on body work and movement training. It’s called Rolfing after its founder, Dr Ida Rolf, an American biochemist who developed the method in the 1960’s.

Rolfing® Structural Integration systematically reorganizes the body's connective tissues, called fascia, to release, realign and balance the whole body. By addressing patterns of strain that are years and decades old, Rolfing can resolve chronic pain and restore the body's natural ease and grace.

Rolfing helps to improve posture, reduce aches and pains and give people greater flexibility, more energy and greater ease in their bodies. It’s an effective treatment for chronic muscular-skeletal pain conditions, such as lower back pain, repetitive strain injury, sciatica and stiff and painful shoulders.

Athletes always need help with chronic injuries, muscular strain and overuse. Rolfing supports structural realignment for greater efficiency of movement and more precise movement

Since the early 70s, athletes in the US are using Rolfing® Structural Integration to be at the top of their games.

In recent years, Singapore athletes are also using Rolfing to help with recovery and to perform better in their sports.

“I went for training after the Rolfing session and I could feel more range of motion when I was swimming my Freestyle. My hands felt generally lighter and longer as well.

Lighter = Natural increase in endurance!”

“Hee, a H-U-G-E thanks from my side. I'm so much better after our Rolfing sessions and feel a significant difference especially in my running and Olympic lifts.”

“Hee has done a great job fixing my back when I was in pain. I have met physiotherapists, been to chinese massage and gotten acupunctures during my pain but Hee solved my pain with the ROLF method. I am forever grateful because now I can continue to train and do what I love without any pain. I also learnt a lot of new things about posture as well as the exercises that I will do regularly. Hee is professional, patient and extremely knowledgeable. He was also prepared to be flexible to attend to my needs. I recommend him to anyone who needs to rid their body of pain and eventually you will learn how to live better with more knowledge on how the body works and what you can do for yourself to be better overall.”

Apart from athletes, Rolfing has been helping people from all walks of life to have pain-free body.

“I have chronic frozen shoulder and lower back pain for the longest time. At times I could hardly get out of bed or go to work. I saw many Chinese and Western medical practitioners, but with little success except for those that involved painkillers. Doctors have been prescribing stronger and stronger dose of painkillers to help me deal with the pain. I thought to myself this got to stop. In 2010 I came across a magazine article featuring Singapore Rolfer Hee Tan. Rolfing sounds very interesting but I am not sure how it is going to help me deal with my aches and pain. Anyway I just give it a try. I found Hee to be a very professional bodyworker who immediately makes you feel comfortable with his warm and compassionate manner and grounded presence. He makes the whole experience safe and comfortable. Most importantly Hee’s Rolfing has really helped me. I really felt the difference after the first session and after a few more sessions, my frozen shoulder is completely healed and my lower back has improved significantly. What is most amazing about the work is that I no longer have to take those painkillers!! I now see Hee ‘as needed' and it has been the source of a much better way of life for me.”

“Thanks Hee. I cannot remember the last time I complained about my back! 
I had been seeing other therapists about my back and shoulders for ages. They treat my lower back and shoulders, the problem goes away for a while, and then it starts again. When I first met Hee, I told him that the level of pain in my shoulder and lower back was an 8/10. So he started working on my neck! And then my legs. But not directly on my lower back. But at the end of the first session, I was "re-aligned" and there was immediate improvement! It made complete sense! A holistic and complete therapy. Don't just treat the symptom, treat the source.I could go on, but it's probably better to let Hee explain Rolfing himself. For those with issues and need bodywork, I would recommend Rolfing. And I would definitely recommend Hee as a Rolfer. He's calm, patient and skilled.”

Rolfing can help:

· Relieve posture related pain and joint problems

· Improve  biomechanical efficiency by eliminating fascial restrictions and compensatory patterns that do not serve you

· Reduce the wear and tear of activity, exercise and competition

· Restore balance and flexibility in your body that can be compromised by intense repetitive activity

The Rolfing-10 Series, which is like a "tune up" or "extreme makeover" for your entire body. Every session is 60 minutes and most people opt to receive one session per week for 10 weeks. This 10-session process restructures the body in segments, aiming for optimal flexibility and range of motion by balancing the body from front to back, side to side, top to bottom until complete integration is achieved. Each session builds upon the last and prepares the body for the next, integrating movement education to encourage long-term change and reduce the occurrence of future injury. Although 10 sessions is recommended, most people experience very positive results after just ONE session.
