The Summit Rolfing

Let’s talk about self care… i’m not talking about massages or facials 💆‍♀️(although those are amazing). I’m talking about drinking enough water, slowing down, getting enough rest (not just sleep), so your body can function more optimally.

The fascia is highly innervated with the nervous system. If we are constantly in fight or flight, our fascia will be holding tension. If you’re someone who experiences chronic pain, get curious about how regulated your nervous system is.

What’s your favorite way to self care that doesn’t cost 💲 ?

Foam rolling might feel like you’re working out knots in your muscles, but that’s not exactly what’s happening.

The feeling of release is your body letting go of tension. It’s not reshaping your muscles or fascia.

What’s really happening is…

🔹your nervous system is being stimulated
🔹muscle tension temporarily decreases
🔹blood flow increases
🔹range of motion temporarily improves

This makes foam rolling great for a warm-up or cool down after your workout.

Real, lasting change comes from how your body organizes itself in movement. That’s where Rolfing comes in.

Foam rolling is a spectacular tool, but it shouldn’t be the whole strategy.
