Karen Asato is a Honolulu-based Advanced Certified Rolfer, Bowen and massage therapist.
ROLFING® THERAPY is named after founder, Dr. Ida P. Rolf. Rolfing is a form of bodywork that reorganizes fascia, a connective tissue that permeate the entire body.
Years ago, Dr. Rolf recognized that the body is a net work of seamless tissues rather than a collection of separate parts. These connective tissues surround, support and penetrate all of the muscles, bones, nerves and organs. Rolfing works on this web of connective tissues to release, realign and balance the body.
The result of Rolfing is to enable the body to regain the natural integrity of its form, to enhance postural efficiency and freedom of movement. For more on Rolfing, see rolf.org.
BOWEN TECHNIQUE helps the body remember how to heal itself. Theraputic Bowen “moves” send neurological impulses to the brain resulting in muscle relaxation and pain reduction. Such moves also can create electrical impulses to the nervous system that inform the body on how to regain normal movement in joints, muscles and tendons. Common results include relief of muscle spasms and increased blood and lymph flow. For more information on Bowen Technique, see bowenwork.com.
