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.
