If you are very sensitive to touch??
It involves the therapist touching, stretching & moving your body.
[is a hands-on manipulation developed by Ida P. Rolf 50 years ago.
It works on the connective tissue (fascia) to release, realign and balance
the whole body.
Rolfing enhances your posture and freedom of movement. It can resolve pain and discomfort from many different causes, including
• back pain

I don't have any personal experience with it, just read a bit about various types of bodywork and therapies for my RSI/TOS condition. |
I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't let ANYONE touch my shoulder or upper arm where my RSD started (except my husband - he puts my patches on). My PT does work with my neck and head to loosen my muscles and stretch my neck out. But to put a lot of pressure on my affected areas - no way! Maybe it's mental. I'm sure it would either hurt a lot when someone touched it hard, or hurt later on when the delayed pain set in. In any case, it sounds just awful.
