Can rolfing help knee pain?

In: Conditions and Diseases, Exercise, Knee Replacement [Edit categories]

Answer:

Of course it depends on the cause of the knee pain, but better alignment of the foot, knee and hip joints, which is achieved by Rolfing can reduce the pressure on the joint.
If tense muscles, adhesions and/or short fascia keeps pulling on one side of the knee, it can't function properly - in these cases Rolfing can help a lot.

I recommend finding a few Rolfers in your area and to talk to them - either over the phone, or better in person, and see what experience they have in treating specific conditions.

Most Rolfers offer free consultations.
