Whether you are pregnant or post-labor, Rolfing is a distinct type of hands-on bodywork that works with the connective tissue and nervous system. Sessions leave you feeling more deeply aware of your body, more integrated as a whole, and with greater ease of movement.
Common problems for women going through pregnancy:
- Shortness of breath
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Emotional overwhelm
- Swelling of lower legs and feet
Rolfing sessions can help you feel more empowered and comfortable while your body is going through these changes. Also, one you’re full term, a pre-birth session to prepare the pelvis and lower body for labor is supportive and nourishing.
Common problems for women post-birth:
- The body can feel weak or disjointed
- Areas can feel out of awareness or confused
- Neck, arm, and shoulder pain from holding the new baby
- Emotional overwhelm
Rolfing sessions can help you feel re-integrated. If choosing to breastfeed, Rolfing can help you adapt to that new body position.
