Rolfing® and Aston-Patterning®




Rolfing, also known as Structural Integration, is a method of bodywork that helps to align and balance the body in the gravity field.

Aston-Patterning uses movement education, fitness training, ergonomics and bodywork to improve and maintain optimal alignment and teaches you how to use gravity as you move, sit and stand.

Together they improve posture, coordination, mobility, tone and balance.

Rolfing and Aston-Patterning release chronic tension and holding caused by stress, old injuries and poor movement habits. They help relieve chronic pain, fatigue and repetitive stress injuries, improve physical performance and assist life transitions.


      "We are not truly upright, we are only on our way
to being upright. That is a metaphysical consideration.
One of the jobs of a Rolfer is to speed that process
along. We want to get a person out of the place where
gravity is his enemy. We want to get him into the
place where gravity reinforces him and is a friend; a
nourishing force."

 asymmetrical three-dimensional spiral."
