Move. Connect. Integrate.

The number of sessions varies depending on your individual goals. While many clients experience noticeable improvements after a series of 10 sessions, individual fix-it sessions, 3 and 5-series sessions are also normal protocol.

We’ll start by looking at how you stand, walk, and move so I can better understand your particular patterns and goals. You’ll wear comfortable, form-fitting clothing that allows me to observe your movement clearly. We’ll move between the table and standing or walking throughout the session, using what we learn from your movement to guide the work.

Rolfing® is a hands-on, interactive process. Your participation and awareness are an important part of the work—we’re working with you, not simply doing something to you.

While one session can definitely help, Rolfing SI is designed as a series of 3, 5 and 10 sessions that build on each other. The body typically doesn’t just react to stress or injury in one spot—it tends to adapt pretty quickly in other places so you can keep going. Each session focuses on a different area or movement pattern, helping your body find better balance and ease over time.

Beth Burgin is based in beautiful downtown Wilmington, NC at the Cotton Exchange Executive Offices, 321 N Front Street. We're on the corner of Walnut and Front. I offer validated free parking in the Cotton Exchange parking lot, entrance on grace street, which is located directly behind the Cotton Exchange.

Currently a solo Rolfing session, which runs about 75-90 minutes, is $140. A 3-series is $400 and a 10-series is $1200.

A 10-series of Rolfing® Structural Integration is an obvious time and financial commitment for most people. My recommendation before booking a 10-series is to book the first session, we'll see if we click and go from there. The first session payment can go towards a 3 or 10-series.

Come as you are. Wear comfortable, form-fitting clothing that allows me to observe your movement clearly.

Be ready to talk about your health history, current concerns, and what you'd like to explore. We'll use that conversation, along with observing how you stand and move, to begin figuring out what will be most useful for you.

You don't need to know exactly what's wrong or have a particular outcome in mind. Curiosity is enough.

Yes, Rolfing can complement other treatments such as physical therapy, chiropractic care, or massage to enhance overall health. However we do generally recommend not doing too many types of manual therapy all at once because then, when things do change and you start feeling better, we won't know what made the difference. 'Wear one hat at a time' is a good idea until you're in maintenance mode and have found a particular combo of therapies that are synergistic for your needs.

Rolfing® Structural Integration (SI) is a hands-on, interactive process that explores how you move, breathe, sense, and organize yourself in gravity. We're doing this work WITH you, not TO you. Your participation and awareness are an important part of the process.

Like other forms of bodywork, Rolfing® may help reduce tension and discomfort. But we're also interested in something beyond symptom relief: greater ease, coordination, pleasure, aliveness, and coherence of the body in motion.

Sometimes it helps to ask yourself:

Do I want something to change?
Do I choose to explore that possibility?
Am I ready to be curious about what might be different?

You don't have to know the answers before you begin. The work is an exploration—together—of what might make moving through your life feel more easeful, connected, and possible.

Rolfing® has a reputation for being painful, and that reputation has some history behind it. Early approaches could be quite intense. Contemporary Rolfing® is different.

Some areas may feel tender or intense at times, but I work slowly and responsively, paying attention to how you are responding throughout the session. The goal isn't to push through pain or force the body to change. It's to give you enough time and information to participate in the process and discover new possibilities for movement and ease.

Your comfort matters. We work within your tolerance, communicate throughout the session, and adjust the approach when something doesn't feel right. Rolfing® doesn't need to hurt to be effective.

As with any hands-on bodywork, people can respond differently from session to session. Some clients may experience temporary tenderness, soreness, fatigue, or other changes in how they feel afterward. These responses generally settle with time.

I work within your comfort level and adjust the approach according to your responses, needs, and goals. If you're considering Rolfing®, it's worth choosing a practitioner who has completed recognized professional training in Rolfing® Structural Integration.

Structural Integration is a specialized form of bodywork with several established training pathways. If you're considering this work, it's worth asking about a practitioner's education, training, and professional credentials.

Rolfing® Structural Integration is the original system developed by Dr. Ida P. Rolf, and Rolfing® is a protected trademark belonging to the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute®. Certified Rolfers® complete the Institute's professional training and maintain their affiliation with the Institute.

Structural Integration is a broader field, with multiple established training programs. The International Association of Structural Integrators (IASI) recognizes training programs that meet its educational standards, and its Certification Board for Structural Integration (CBSI) offers board certification to qualified practitioners.

In other words, Rolfing® and Structural Integration aren't interchangeable terms. Asking about a practitioner's training and credentials can help you understand what kind of work you're choosing.
