Skillful Touch Massage

Skillful Touch Massage is a form of bodywork developed at the Rolf® Institute to prepare students in the tactile and professional skills needed for the later practice of Rolfing®. It involves the deep, slow and sensitive application on techniques, tools and movements which contact and effect specific body tissue layers and structures.


How Skillful Touch feels has been explained in different ways. Mostly people feel a pleasurable tingling as the muscle lengthens and the circulation improves. A bit of discomfort is felt on very tight muscles, but this decreases as the muscle releases. Some people use Skillful Touch as an intro to Rolfing and some use it as maintenance after Rolfing. And still others use Skillful Touch to relax, de-stress and maintain their flexibility and well-being.

Skillful Touch does not attempt to treat nor diagnose somatic conditions. Its therapeutic effects arise from its emphasis on heightened perception and somatic awareness. Skillful Touch's therapeutic benefits include relaxation, greater range of movement and flexibility, and increased body awareness.
