Ive read a few times about thing called Rolfing and Im not sure what exactly it is, it says it reorganizes the body for postural integrity, restores natual balance, puts you in alignment etc.
Has anyone ever done this to address TMJ problems and had any positive results or known anyone who did it for any reason?

Rolfing frees fascial adhesions (unhealthy binding of tissues), allowing the muscles and bones to return to balanced relationships. When the fascial system is organized through the Rolfing process, the body's major segments are freed to align themselves properly. Following Rolfing, people have reported to have eliminated or reduced chronic pain, greater range of motion, improved coordination, a feeling of rejuvenation, and an increased sense of well-being.
You may feel pain or tension only in particular areas of your body however, there are can be significant compensations in the fascia throughout your structure from previous injuries, trauma or movement habits. In Rolfing, the WHOLE human being is addressed toward balance to effect long lasting change and release of tension throughout the structure. Rolfing is therefore, designed to be an 8 to 12 session series, although it is beneficial with even one session. Each one lasts about an hour and fifteen minutes, usually done once per week to allow time for your body to adapt to changes.
Rolfing can add immeasurably to your quality of life.

I had about 13 rolfing sessions. I told him about my TMJ. One time he went inside my mouth and nose...that was the most intense experience. Overall, the sessions did not help much. Maybe it was just the rolfer.
