Occasionally you hear someone speak about Rolfing. It's quite possible that you or someone you know has experienced it. What is Rolfing? It is an inquiry into the optimal functioning of the human being, to be nothing short of the whole truth. It is a system of body re-education and manipulation originally known as structural integration and the product of 50 years of study and practice by creator, Dr. Ida P. Rolf. Originally an organic chemist with the Rockefeller Institute, Dr. Rolf perfected the technique of Rolfing Structural Integration over many years before establishing a training program and a professional organization of around 1300 practitioners worldwide. What separates Rolfing from other somatic practices is the Rolfers' premise about a person's relationship to themselves and to their environment: (1) most human beings are out of alignment with gravity (2) We function better when we are lined up with the gravitational field (3) The human body is so plastic that its alignment can be brought into harmony at anytime in a person's life. Research has shown that there is a more powerful sense of self, grace, ease, efficiency of movement and often the relief of stress caused by gravity resistant movement patterns.       read: Rolfing is beneficial
