What is Rolfing Structural Integration®?

Rolfing Structural Integration® was introduced over fifty years ago by Dr. Ida P. Rolf with a primary focus on manipulating the muscular and connective tissues of the body into proper alignment for peak performance and health, including prevention and recovery from injury and stress reduction. Unlike forms of deep tissue massage, Rolfing Structural Integration® returns the body to a state of balance by manipulating and increasing the elasticity of connective tissues that wrap around every bone and muscle, moving the body into the correct alignment for optimum posture and functioning.
