What is Rolfing?
Named after Dr. Ida P. Rolf , this method of body-work is more properly known as
Structural Integration. Dr. Rolf started her work on this process more than
fifty years ago. She devoted her life to the creation the method of healing she
eventually named Structural Integration. It is a holistic system of soft tissue
manipulation and movement education. During her research, she discovered that by
manipulating the body's myofascial system, she could achieve remarkable changes
in posture and structure.
The name “Rolfing", as Structural Integration is more commonly known, is the
nickname that many clients and practitioners gave this system.
Rolfing has the ability to dramatically alter a person's posture and structure
and, because of this recognized ability, it is used by: athletes, dancers and
performers, in fact people from all walks of life can benefit from Rolfing. It
can ease pain and chronic stress, thereby removing the suppressive effects of
these on the body’s systems (especially the immune system). This has the effect
of improving well-being and improving performance in their professional and
daily activities.
