Rolfing (not rude I promise!!)

Hi all
I wondered if anyone had had Rolfing done and what their experience of it was.
For more info: http://www.rolfing.org/
My main problem arthritis wise is in the lower joints and I feel this may be suitable for me. I emailed the organisation above for advice but they've not responded and I don't want to pay to see someone if I then find it won't work or be suitable for me.
Any thoughts please?
Debbie

When I read that I had visions of a beard and glasses, two little boys and a kangaroo. On reading the link I suspect that having a coffee with the sainted Rolf would be just as beneficial. That sort of thing is good for people who like to think they have something wrong with them, not for folks like us who DO have something wrong (and it's something that cannot be fixed, which is a total bummer and makes us vulnerable to quacks and charlatans of all types). Cynical, moi? Oui. I have tried Reiki, homeopathy and one or two other pointless exercises, in the days before I really knew what was wrong with me. The recipients of my cash were very grateful.

Just watched a short video of a woman being Rolfed....
(Sorry for laughing, but it sounds sooooooooo rude!!!!)
It looks very painful indeed, a sort of reflexology with a bit of ancient torture thrown in
Scarey stuff :shock:

sounds so rude :eek:
don't think I'll be trying it any time soon, but interesting to know if anyone really does feel it is helpful.0 -
Bubbles is in shock, I haven't looked at the clip, but I thought at first that it was someone feeling sickly, not a massage. "What are you doing today"? "I am just off to be Rolfing session". Should stop the conversation. But, not to decry alternative therapies, homeopthic Dr cured me of hay fever, so rolfing might have some effect. :shock:XX Aidan (still known as Bubbles).0

There are some more places to go for a Rolfing session now, I think it will become a craze

Hi Debbie
Looks like you are the only person to have tried it. If it isn't too expensive and you can afford it then there is no harm in trying.
I do hope it helps you and please do let us know if it helps.
Oh welcome from me to the forums
Love

Sorry Debbie, couldn't resist...
Naa, I know, when someone mentioned Rolfing to me the first thought was it was something rude, then Rolf Harris was my second thought.
I might make enquiries as to cost, we'll see!0 -
let us know what you decide and how it goes won't you?
Hope you don't have to wear a false beard for it... Lol
