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.
However, the Structural Integration can be defined as a systematic approach that attempts to restore balance and alignment to the whole body for long lasting pain relief. Deep Tissue Massage is different from the other in that it tends to focus on techniques for each individual muscle strain, it is temporary relief, and does not address or release the system wide compensation patterns, or the root cause of your pain, dis-function, or "stress".
When we look at the most common and mainstream types of manual treatment everyone knows of physical therapy and massage therapy. The amount of people that have heard of and have received Rolfing or Structural Integration or the Rolf Method of Structural Integration or whatever term a school puts on their graduates, are just a fraction compared to physical therapy and massage treatment.
Not only does Joe public not really know much about Structural Integration or Rolfing but the medical community is in the same spot as Joe public. So how can we clear up this confusion of terms? It is a trademarked and reserved term for practitioners of the Structural Integration that have graduated from the Rolf Institute.
Rolfing treatment can get very aggressive and very painful. If this seems not very different from what the chiropractors do, Rolfing involves the aggressive manipulation of the connective tissue (otherwise known in the lingo as the fascia) as opposed to the bones and the muscle that the chiropractors deal in. It has to be aggressive because the connective tissue can be really tough to manipulate.
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.
They go to find another Rolfer to receive continued care but none can be found because there may not be any Rolfers in that particular city. It is possible that their Rolfer never referred to the work as Structural Integration, the actual name for the process, and the person does not know what to do. In this new city there may be Structural Integrators though, but the person does not know that this Structural Integrator has been taught and practices the same thing as their Rolfer.
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.
