Rolfing Postural Realignment
"Poor Posture is Worse Than it Looks"
Barry O'Brien B.Sc., Ph.D, Advanced Certified Rolfer
Rolfing, or Structural Integration was created by Dr. Ida P. Rolf, and deals with Postural Re-alignment, Movement and Balance in people's bodies. She believed that most physical problems and pain comes from chronically tight or stiffened muscles and connective tissue, related to a person's posture. With this in mind, she created a series of sessions of deep connective tissue(Fascia)massage and stretching to systematically re-align people's posture. When their bodies become straighter and more erect, pain disappears, and they feel better. It could be considered as "Engineering For The Body".

"I would highly highly recommend Barry. I have been attending Barry for over 2 years, and when first went to him, I could hardly sit up straight for long, my back muscles we re all mixed up, and neck, and causing awful pain due to injury, my posture was very bad. Barry began the process of recovery with his method, and I got straighter and straighter, and the pain lessened and lessened. I always felt three inches taller after every session. My gait has hugely improved, as Barry has talk me through and more or less restrained me in my movement and the optimum and correct way to walk and stand, as having had injuries, my gait was badly affected. He understands the body so well, and thoroughly explains what's going on, and advises how to address the problems and issues going on for you in a very practical and everyday way, which I found invaluable. Barry has been a blessing on the road to my recovery, and has literally straightened me out, and I am hugely grateful. My whole posture and gait and pain, has improved so much and my muscles feel as though they are working in harmony. Barry is brilliant and very professional. ******* +++++"
