Rolfing® Structural Integration was developed by Dr. Ida P. Rolf out of her interest in the properties of the biochemical properties of connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, myofascial sheaths) and her interest in maximizing physical functioning. The result of her life's study is a body of unique work
called Rolfing® which seeks to bring the body into better alignment with gravity.
In about ten one-hour sessions, people report feeling increased ease, range of motion
and awareness of their bodies.
Rolfing® is designed to help a person find his center and support and to allow new
options of movement and ways of being in the world from that place; to "bring the body
into the present moment." Ray McCall, Rolf Institute faculty member.
"Comprehensive recognition of human structure includes not only the physical person, but also eventually the psychological personality--behaviors, attitudes, capacities." Dr. Ida Rolf
