Rebalancing

What is rebalancing?

Rebalancing is a holistic fascia massage therapy that originated in the late seventies from Rolfing® (after Ida Rolf), but has been extended by a number of other influences and techniques from other body therapies (including Feldenkreis, osteopathy, Alexander technique, breathing therapy, ...).

Through deep and at the same time slow fascia massage techniques, adhesions in the muscle and fascia tissue are released with a lot of mindfulness. Body and psyche are supported in realigning themselves, which often results in an upright posture and inner balance.

Tension and pain in the musculoskeletal system can often be alleviated or completely eliminated for a long time with Rebalancing, and posture in general can be improved. The body becomes more supple and flexible, the circulation is stimulated and breathing is deepened in a gentle way.

Occasionally, it is recommended to complement Rebalancing Fascia Therapy with Myofascial Taping (fascia taping). Fascia taping can be booked in addition to the treatment or as an individual treatment.

Rebalancing literally means "to bring back into balance". It is a holistic body therapy and symbiosis of fascia massage (deep connective tissue massage), joint loosening, body reading, emphatic conversation and promotion of body awareness and mindfulness.

For this reason, in addition to physical ailments and pain, Rebalancing is also particularly suitable for stressful life situations, such as burnout, life crises or orientation phases. The treatments support profound changes and an improvement in the quality of life through an experiential physical and inner balance.

History of Rebalancing

The Rebalancing method originated in the late seventies in an ashram in India, where body therapists of many different directions shared their experiences and strived for more holistic methods of treatment. Inspired by Bhagwan Shree Rajnesh (later Osho), they combined all their knowledge into a new body therapy, so that in 1981, based on this, the first structured Rebalancing training could be conducted.

A distinctive feature in Rebalancing is the structural integration and division of body and psyche into different body and subject areas, which has been adopted from Rolfing® and expanded by other effective body therapy techniques from osteopathy, respiratory therapy, Feldenkrais, Trager, Postural Integration, Biodynamic and Psychic Massage, Alexander Technique, Polarity, Shiatsu and Acupuncture. George James, one of the founders of Rebalancing said therefore:

"Rebalancing combines the best of everything that works best".

When groundbreaking findings in fascia research were published in 2007, what rebalancing & rofling therapists in particular had previously only been able to feel with their fingers and describe with words could finally be scientifically explained and proven. Since then, fascia research, fascia therapies such as rebalancing, fascia fitness and everything around the topic of fascia, is experiencing a real boom. Not least because it could be proven that the fascia tissue has six times more pain and movement receptors than muscles, and that posture and psyche can be mutually influenced by it.

The philosophy of rebalancing

A Rebalancing session can be taken as a single treatment due to acute physical discomfort, for relaxation and to restore physical and inner balance, or for a specific body-oriented theme (see below). Individual sessions are therefore just as useful and effective as a whole treatment sequence.

For a profound change and restoration of physical and inner balance or in case of chronic complaints, the Ten Session System* is recommended. Originally, Rebalancing was performed as a system of ten consecutive sessions, as is common in Rolfing. These can be done at intervals of your choosing. The ten sessions enhance your body awareness, consciousness and attitude towards certain issues and physical symptoms. You can compare it like a journey to yourself for several weeks.

The fascia massage techniques specific to each session, allow you and your body to integrate what was experienced during the treatment both consciously and unconsciously. So do not be surprised if after a treatment your posture changes in a positive way both externally and internally.

*It is quite possible to take a single session or to repeat a particular session several times in order to intensify the experience or to be able to integrate the change process even better.
