Having been a Licensed Massage Therapist for over 12 years and now a Certified Rolfer, I can say from knowledge that the dissimilarity between the two manual therapies is striking. Yes, they have look likes such as having the aptitude to slacken deeper, reduce stress, promote relaxation and well being and also tighter tissues. Have a look at the article taking us through the theme How rolfing therapy san diego is different from deep tissue massage.

When a year ago, I felt that my body was all knotted up in a way I couldn't fix with yoga, I first tried acupuncture. When that didn't work, some of my friends put me in touch with a new entry for body and spine alignment in the world of stress treatment. It is an incredibly intense kind of deep tissue massage and body realignment treatment called Rolfing that is all set to become the next wonder kid of new-age therapies formerly limited to treatments like Reiki and acupuncture.

A standard Deep Tissue massage session is usually a one hour, full body treatment. The results are immediate, and there is not a required specific number of sessions. The amount of sessions recommended really depends on the wants/needs of the client. The strategy of therapeutic process is determined by the client's reports of symptoms of pain or stress.

The blogosphere is all abuzz with it. Rolfing is a method developed by Ida Rolf, the famous American biochemist. The method she developed tries to achieve its ends on the premise that most of the body's pain comes from incorrect body and spine alignment. In her theory, gravity and the body's responses are what are responsible for the poor alignment seen in our muscles, the spine, the bones and connective tissue.

After a complete series of Structural Integration, some clients return, after a waiting period of three to six months, for tune-up sessions that help to maintain the benefits of the body being better balanced and alleviating discomfort from emerging deeper issues. What distinguishes the Structural Integration from Deep Tissue massage is not necessarily the medium in which we work, but the goal of our work - which is to reshape and reorganize the human structure.

Spinal alignment isn't the only benefit to this either. Patients report benefits to their blood pressure, and a drop in their body weight. The can achieve over a couple of sittings what yoga, physical treatment or anything else rarely achieve. And yet, it is seen not as an entirely new kind of treatment.

Rather, it is an extension of other alignment techniques like yoga. A practitioner kneads your connecting tissue nearly to breaking point. Being flexible is just something you should be doing for yourself. That in the process, you have done for you. The treatment lasts for ten sessions to fully see the reduction of pain.

The massage treatment is often quite uncomfortable, so it is important that those seeking this treatment find a massage therapist certified in this technique. Patients that have used this treatment said they felt soreness afterwards, but the intense pain they experienced lessened. Some have even stated that they felt great improvement in less than five sessions.
