Frequently Asked Questions
I want you to feel completely safe, informed, and comfortable before you begin your journey with Rolfing Structural Integration. These answers are designed to provide clarity on the process and help you prepare for your session.
What exactly is Rolfing?
Rolfing Structural Integration is a form of somatic bodywork that organizes the body's connective tissue (fascia) to improve alignment and ease of movement within gravity.
How many sessions will I need?
While individual sessions can offer noticeable relief, the traditional Rolfing Ten Series is designed to create lasting structural change. Chronic tension and pain patterns develop over years of compensation and adaptation, and unwinding them is a process. By committing to the journey and maintaining realistic expectations, you create the opportunity for profound and lasting improvements in movement, comfort, and overall well-being.
Is Rolfing safe for everyone?
Rolfing is safe for most, but certain acute conditions or inflammatory states may be contraindications. We conduct a full intake to ensure your safety and well-being.

Is Rolfing covered by insurance
Rolfing is a modality recognized and insured under the National Health Care Practitioners of Canada. Following each session, clients will receive a receipt that can be submitted for reimbursement. In many cases, coverage is available through health benefit plans
