Who is the founder Ida P. Rolf?
Rolfing is the original, scientifically validated system of physical restructuring and movement education developed by Ida P. Rolf, PhD.
“So many therapists are striking at the pattern of disease instead of supporting the pattern of health. Rolfers are not practitioners curing disease, they are specialists in health. They are giving their attention to the better working of people’s minds and bodies.” — Ida P. Rolf, PhD
What makes this process different from other healing modalities?
The Rolfing technique is a system for integrating the human physical structure. It is a form of connective tissue (fascial) manipulation and education and is based on the fact that the body is plastic or changeable and/or malleable. This quality of plasticity enables the human body to be anatomically ordered, thus lengthened and centered along its vertical axis.
Rolfing is a system of soft tissue manipulation that is designed to sequentially and systematically align the major segments of the body in a vertical balanced relationship.

Find healing alignment in your body and in your life.
Once our body is in its best alignment, all elements of our life will be aligned. Generally, the Rolfed individual experiences more vitality and energy, deeper breathing, increased flexibility, relief from pain and chronic symptoms, better balance and coordination, ease and efficiency of movement, and greater body awareness. Clients also report greater physical and emotional balance in their lives.
Reorganize and integrate the human body.
