Rolfing + Yoga = Better Health

The practice of yoga focuses on bringing balance and strength to the body by using movements and poses. The practice of rolfing focuses on bringing balance and proper structure to the body through movements and soft tissue manipulation. This, of course, points out the similarities between rolfing and yoga, as well as pointing out the subtle differences. But the best part about these two practices is that they can be used ? and often are used ? together to produce the same effects.

Since yoga does not use soft tissue manipulation, it is thought by rolfers that it is not quite a perfect method of helping and therefore healing muscular and body structure problems. However, combining rolfing with yoga adds the need to manipulate soft tissues to complete the lengthening process of the tissues, thus bringing the body into balance.

Rolfing and Criticism

Posted on August 22, 2008
Filed Under Alternative Medicines, Rolfing | Comments Off

Surprisingly, there is less criticism for rolfing that there is for many other types of alternative therapies and natural healing practices. This is partly due to the fact that rolfing has some proven success. Research has shown that patients suffering from illnesses like cerebral palsy and chronic fatigue syndrome, as well as patients suffering from chronic lower back pain, have noted improvement in their physical wellbeing. Unfortunately, there is not conclusive proof to solidify rolfing’s place as a medically recognized therapy.

There is no evidence that rolfing is harmful to the body, so any relief brought to a patient is a benefit. However, as with soft tissue manipulation techniques like massage therapy, people who have skeletal problems, blood clotting disorders, and pregnant women should consult a medical professional before receiving rolfing therapy. This is because there is little scientific study done on rolfing in general, let alone on rolfing as it affects conditions like these.

Let’s face facts: people love their pets. Particularly in Western countries like the United States, millions of dollars are spent every year on veterinary bills for Fido and Spot. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with this! It is wonderful that people love their pets so much! But some people who love their pets cannot afford some of the more expensive pharmaceutical treatments for their pets’ symptoms. So what can a pet owner do?

Many veterinarians and veterinary clinics are starting to offer homeopathic remedies for pets.

Filed Under Alternative Medicines, Yoga | Comments Off

Yoga is commonly known in the western world as a method of exercise. However, yoga in fact takes its root in a much different place. Yoga actually began as a part of the Hindu religion, one of the major religions practiced in India. India is, of course, where yoga really began. Yoga is defined in the Hindu religion as being closely related to asceticism and meditation. The practice of yoga actually does teach meditation in some form, even in its practice in the west.
