Rolfing Structural Integration

What is Rolfing – Structural Integration?

Rolfing is a system of manual bodywork aimed at aligning your body as efficiently as possible within the field of gravity.
It focuses on the fascia, but always considers the body as a whole.
Manual techniques and movement education are used during sessions to support clients in improving their posture and movement patterns.
The goal is to release acute and chronic tensions, creating space and awareness for new qualities of movement.

Rolfing is named after Dr. Ida Rolf, a biochemist who developed Rolfing Structural Integration in the 1950s.
