The Rolf Method of Structural Integration

 “If you can imagine how it feels to have a fluid,  light, balanced body, free of pain, stiffness, and chronic stress,  at ease with itself and the earth’s gravitational field, then you will understand the goals of Structural Integration …”
Dr Ida P. Rolf

Structural Integration, also called Rolfing©, is a system of body work developed by Dr Ida P Rolf during the 1950s and 1960s.  Through Structural Integration the patterns of stress and tension which have developed slowly throughout life can be released and the body’s natural alignment and grace can be restored.  This allows greater freedom, ease of movement, and more energy.

Structural Integration is effective in the treatment of headaches, backache, sciatica, joint pain, asthma, digestive and circulatory problems, and many other conditions.  When the body is aligned in the gravitational field, not only are many physical symptoms relieved, but also normal function is actually improved.

You don’t have to be suffering to benefit.  Structural Integration can also help fit and healthy people to feel even better.  Sportsmen and women, dancers, singers, musicians and yoga practitioners have noticed improved performance in their professions and daily activities after a course of treatment.
