A client asked me how to maintain the improvements obtained from a 10-series of Rolfing® structural integration. Here are my thoughts on that question, for your consideration. What do you do outside the studio to maintain the benefits of bodywork that you have received?

• Take care of your body’s physical structure.

  • Use a foam roller at home, 1-2x/week for 10-15 minutes

  • Stretch regularly

    • Or, do Yoga, Pilates, and/or Tai Chi

  • Walk most days

    • Avoid long periods of sitting; stand up every 30 minutes or so; move around if you can

  • Get massage or Rolfing® SI sessions when needed

• Pay attention to your general wellness.

  • Get enough sleep

  • Eat a healthy diet

  • Manage stress

    • Practice mindfulness or meditation

    • Engage in hobbies and social activities, etc.
