What is Rolfing Structural Integration?

Rolfing Structural Integration is a form of hands-on manipulation and education that systematically reorganizes the connective tissues, called fascia, to release, realign and balance the whole body.

It may bring dramatic results, such as
• recovery from injury;
• reduction in chronic pain, including headache and back pain;
• improved ability to move with ease;
• reduction in physical and mental stress and tension; and
• increased balance and flexibility.

Unique to the process is the incorporation of Rolf Movement® Integration which brings the structural work into daily activity and everyday movements allowing for greater ease and freedom throughout the body.

What is The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration?

Since its inception in 1971, The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration has trained and certified over 1700 Rolfers worldwide. The Rolf Institute, including its international school sites, is the only organization that teaches Rolfing Structural Integration and graduates Rolfers. Its rigorous and comprehensive training program is supported by an esteemed international faculty.
