Education and training
Rolfing® Structural Integration (SI) is a unique approach to working with the body by addressing structural imbalances in the body. What often brings individuals to discover Rolfing SI is a search for pain alleviating remedy for those nagging achs and pains.  Rolfing works to address movement restrictions in the musculoskeletal and connective tissue matrix commonly known as they fascia system. Injuries, chronic tension, gravity, repetitive motion, lack of mobility, overuse and aging can, over time, cause this tissue to develop areas of dehydration and stiffness. Rolfing works to address these restrictions and the imbalances they create that can lead to poor posture, movement impairments and painful conditions. Rolfing works to organize the fascia system as a whole. In fact, fascia and other connective tissues, by definition, connective everything to everything elase in the body.  Brendan at Whole Body Kinetics uses a step by step approach over multiple sessions to systematically improve structural balance in your muscles and alignment.  As alignment improves clients become more efficient in movement and tolerance to gravity. It is termed integrative because the body learns to adapt to newly improved posture and structural organization and can have a profound effect on an individual. Often clients report feeling less pain, being able to stand taller, feeling lifted, have more energy and feel younger.
