What is Structural Integration?

Structural Integration is a scientifically validated bodywork therapy developed in the 1930's by Dr. Ida P. Rolf. Unlike massage, Structural Integration is bodywork that focuses not on the muscles but on their protective layer called fascia (also known as connective tissue).

This form of bodywork aimed toward working with the connective tissue of the body to achieve structural changes in the client. Originally called Structural Integration, this form of bodywork is now called Rolfing.

How is Structural Integration / Rolfing practiced?
Structural Integration / Rolfing is performed in a ten-session sequence designed to align and balance the body by lengthening and repositioning the fascia. Rolfing also re-educates the individual to become aware of body movement patterns creating tension and mis-alignment in the body. The goal of a Structural Integration or Rolfing practitioner is to create a balanced, vertical and integrated body while considering the supportive benefits of the gravitational field.
