Product Description
by Owen Marcus (Author)
Ida Rolf, PhD, invented a soft tissue manipulation technique that not only transforms our physical bodies, but can transform our lives. Through the precise releasing of chronic tension stored in the fascial system, a body can rejuvenate.
The Power of Rolfing explains the hows and whys in ways that a client (or potential client) can understand. Taking the science and principles of Rolfing Structural Integration (SI), Owen Marcus weaves an explanation that explains what we often intuitively know, but never had a way to apply. He also dives into what Rolfing SI can and can't do.
Owen explains how Rolfing SI excels at turning around issues of stress, structure, and soft tissue. Removing what limits you have is not enough, you need to learn two simple behaviors that will enhance your Rolfing SI and guarantee you permanently integrate those changes.
Rolfing SI is no longer for the privileged few. You don't need to be an lite athlete to benefit. Chronic pain or even simply a desire to revitalize an aging body bring more people to Rolfers than ever before. Discover how Rolfing SI could be the best investment you can make.

Owen Marcus has been a Rolfer since 1980. Owen ran a holistic medical clinic in Scottsdale, AZ, for seventeen years, where he participated in Rolfing SI research conducted by Arizona State University. His staff of Rolfers, therapists and physicians assisted Olympic and professional athletes. Owen developed a straightforward approach to creating the most change in the shortest time possible.
Owen's passion for helping others through Rolfing SI came from his own experience: after being Rolfed himself, he was an inch taller and had lost 15 pounds of tense, overworked fascia. All those beliefs about how we are stuck with the body we inherited went out the window.
He continues to enjoy practicing Rolfing SI in Sandpoint, ID. His website: www.align.org is a leading resource on Rolfing SI. Owen's goal in writing this book is for people to experience Rolfing SI before it's their last resort. There is no need to suffer for decades when you can have a body that performs as if it's still twenty.
