What to Expect and What to Wear
Rolfing® is done on a bodywork table, but there is more client movement than during a massage. Clients typically shift positions several times in a session to allow better contact to the area being worked. It is also common to get up and stand or walk during the session to assess progress. For this reason the typical draping done with sheets during a massage is not done in a Rolfing session. Clients can be covered with a sheet and a blanket for temperature comfort.
The most important thing regarding what to wear during a session is that the client is at ease in the therapeutic setting. Some clients are comfortable their underwear (which is historically typical for Rolfing sessions): briefs and bra for women and briefs or boxer briefs for men. Other options are workout gear like shorts and exercise bra for women, bathing suits, or what would be worn to a yoga class.
What Men can wear: athletic apparel, swimsuit, briefs or boxer briefs (historically typical)
What Women can wear: athletic or yoga apparel, two-piece swimsuit, full coverage briefs and bra (historically typical)
Again, it is most important that the client is at ease in the session and not worried about their state of undress.
