What is Myofascial Release?
The exact Phrase “myofascial release” was coined in the 1960’s by Robert Ward, an osteopath who studied with Ida Rolf, the originator of Rolfing©. “Myo” refers to muscle and “fascial” refers to fascia, the thin fibrous material the runs through and wraps around muscles. Rolf created an entire bodywork system based on Myofascial Release techniques to treat chronic pain and improve posture. She called it Structural Integration, but in her honor, it became known as Rolfing©.
Is this massage?
Myofascial Release treatments feel quite different than massage. Myofascial Release is like a blend of Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and Massage Therapy. In broad general terms, Massage Therapists work on the muscles, Physical Therapists strengthen muscles and Chiropractors work on the bones. Myofascial Release Therapists work in the fascia. By releasing fascial restrictions, the fasciae of the body can lengthen and become balance, which decompresses joints and allows bones to return to their natural alignment.
Is Structural Integration the same as Rolfing®?
All Rolfers® are Structural Integrators, but not all Structural Integrators are Rolfers®. The words ROLFER and ROLFING are service marks of The Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® of Structural Integration. The words ROLFER and ROLFING are used by individuals trained and certified by the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute®. Other Schools of Structural Integration have shared roots with The Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® through the study of Ida Rolf’s rich legacy of teachings. Graduates from other schools ca say they practice The Rolf Method of Structural Integration, not Rolfing®.
