Structural Integration Practitioners
If you are interested in Rolfing™ therapy to help you alleviate pain, restore flexibility and motion, or improve athletic performance, you should know what to look for in a Rolfing™ practitioner. Education and experience are key things to look for in a Rolfer™, as well as availability of services. Before you choose someone to provide Rolfing®, Orange County residents should take the time to do a little bit of homework. Comfort with your practitioner can be important to achieving good results, so a meeting before your first session can help you determine if you want to work with them.
What exactly should you be looking for when it comes to choosing a structural integration therapist? For starters, education is critical. If you are new to Rolfing™, but think that you might require more advanced services based on your condition, it will be important for you to find someone who is a Certified Advanced Rolfer. If they don’t specifically say that they are trained and certified as an Advanced Rolfer, it’s more likely than not that they have more basic training. Certification from the Rolf Institute is critical when choosing a practitioner. Created and established by the founder of Rolfing™, the Institute provides proper training in Rolf methods that are critical to structural integration.
Another thing you will want to look at is the type and number of therapeutic interventions available. In addition to traditional ten-session Rolfing™ therapy, you might want a practitioner who can offer advanced Rolfing™ as well as other modalities and procedures designed to help strengthen core muscles, improve posture through enhanced awareness of the body, or utilize manual therapy to fix muscular problems. The best structural integration practitioners will always start with a consultation or postural and movement analysis before recommending or performing any treatment, and this is certainly something that you want to be certain will be provided to you.
Lastly, take the time to look at testimonials. You want to know what other clients have to say about the Rolfing™ techniques used by the person you are considering and the impact that they have had on their lives. You also want to be certain that you are choosing someone who understands your needs and will be caring and compassionate. Taking the time to meet with them one-on-one for an initial consultation can help you determine if you are comfortable working with them towards your goals.
