The Ida P. Rolf Method of Structural Integration
Rolfing Structural Integration is a form of manual therapy and movement education developed by Dr. Ida P. Rolf. Rather than focusing only on the area where symptoms are felt, Rolfing looks at how the entire body is organized and moving.
Dr. Ida P. Rolf
Dr. Ida P. Rolf was a biochemist who developed Rolfing Structural Integration after decades of studying the relationship between the body's structure, movement, and gravity. Her work was based on the idea that the body's connective tissues can be influenced through skilled hands-on work, allowing the body to become more balanced, adaptable, and efficient in movement. Her approach became the foundation of what is now known as Rolfing Structural Integration.
FAQs & Resources
- Do I have to commit to 10 sessions? Although Rolfing is frequently received as a 10-session process, you're not required to commit to multiple sessions to benefit.
- How does receiving Rolfing differ from Massage Therapy? Sessions typically include a visual assessment of posture and movement, hands-on work, and movement education. Unlike conventional massage, no oil is used. This allows the practitioner to work more precisely with the tissues.
- What forms of payment do you accept? I accept credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, HSA/FSA cards, Zelle, Venmo, cash, and checks. Cash, Zelle, and checks are preferred because they do not have processing fees.
- Do you sell Gift Certificates? Yes! Please use the BUY NOW button below.
- Should I include a gratuity with payment? No thanks. You're not expected to leave a tip.
