Rolfing FAQ


Does Rolfing hurt?

The reputation for being painful comes from the early years of Rolfing. Today, Rolfers realize that change happens more effectively if the body is not tensing in response to pain. We prefer working within each client's comfort level to maximize the benefits of each session.

How are Rolfers different from chiropractors and massage therapists?

Chiropractors work to realign bones and joints. Massage Therapists focus on relaxing individual muscles. Rolfers adjust the connective tissue, which then realigns the entire body, allowing long-term results.

Do I have to commit to ten sessions?

No. While Rolfing is considered most effective as a whole series, fewer sessions are still beneficial.

In some cases the Ten Series doesn't make sense at all -  that's why we offer free consultations to find out the most efficient treatment plan for each individual.

Of course you can always schedule a first session which will either be the first of the Ten Series or symptom-oriented bodywork, following a short consultation and evaluation to determine your needs.

How often should I have Rolfing done?

When going through the Ten Series, you'll get the best benefits with treatments every or every other week. If you have to take a break, make sure we know about it so we can adjust the treatments accordingly.

If it is difficult for your budget to pay for sessions weekly, we can offer payment plans. Please ask us.

What should I wear?

Most clients receive Rolfing while wearing their underwear or gym shorts. Women usually wear comfortable bras or bikini tops. Some clients prefer to wear a tank top.

How long are Rolfing sessions?

A session can last between 50-60 minutes - it depends on the individual goal of the session and how your body responds to the treatments, but of course also on your size.
If you are only doing one session as a touch-up, and you know you need a lot of work, you can schedule an extra-long session (Rolfing XXL),  they go 90 minutes.


Does insurance cover Rolfing?

Most insurance providers do not cover Rolfing. You can ask your insurance company whether they pay for massage therapy and/or manual therapy (in Florida that includes Rolfing).

All insurance coverage must be verified before we can start any treatments - please be aware that this might take a week.

So what should I schedule now? 

If you're not sure what kind of bodywork is best for you, you can just schedule a consultation and tryout appointment with Lu for $40. She'll give you general information on your options at Balance, she can refer you to other practitioners or medical doctors, and she'll do a short test-treatment (about 20 minutes) to see how your body responds. 

Just call 407 704 8867 and ask for a Consultation & Tryout with Lu. 

What if Lu is not available?

You can schedule Consultation and Tryout appointments for $40 with all our practitioners. They will be honest about your options, and they all have experience with Rolfing. Lu can get booked up a few weeks in advance, so if you have a sore back now, it's best to get it treated right away by a skilled therapist.

Please don't hesitate to schedule a massage appointment because you have made the experience that "massage doesn't do anything". Our therapists all have more education and experience than what you usually see in a spa environment. We specialize in treating muscular pain.
