He is also the author of Hands-On Parenting: A Natural Guide to Happier, Healthier, Smarter Kids & Parents Robert will be talking about how free your body and life from patterns of tension that you have either inherited or acquired through life's physical or emotional challenges the positive results rolfing can do for you and your children. Rolfing is a form of alternative medicine originally developed by Ida Rolf as Structural Integration. It is based on Rolf's ideas that the human body is not a collection of separate parts but rather a complex network of seamless tissue that encompasses all of our joints, bones, muscles, and organs. Like sports massage, Rolfing is very hands-on, but unlike most massage, it uses no oils, just skin and pressure against muscles and connective tissue. A ten–session program leaves your body better balanced and aligned around a vertical field of gravity. Rolfing® enables the body to conserve energy, improve and optimize movement patterns, reduce inflammation and chronic stress, as well as provide improved athletic performance.
