Hello everyone!  First, apologies, it's been a hectic week for some reason and as a result I haven't had a lot of time to devote to researching cool topics for the blog this week.  I did stumble across a mention of Rolfing somewhere though, and since it's something I know very little about, I decided to do a little digging on my lunch break.  I came up with an excellent Youtube video to introduce you to the subject.

First, a very brief written introduction and a link to the official Rolf website.  Rolfing, otherwise known as structural integration is a form of soft tissue manipulation developed by physician Ida Rolf.  She found that by manipulating the bodies myofascial system, significant body structure and posture changes occured (fascia are thin tissues that cover every organ and muscle in the body).  Rolfing is excellent for relieving stress and for increasing muscle flexibilty and improving posture.  Here's the great video to introduce you to this technique! Enjoy and have a great weekend!
