What is Rolfing® Structural Integration?

Rolfing® Structural Integration is a therapy that addresses posture, pain and mobility using a holistic approach to improve balance, movement and awareness.

Our Histories Create Our Postures.

Time and gravity multiply the physical effects of life, whether compensations from sports injuries, accidents, surgeries, or just our daily office posture. These all combine to create the patterns of tension and strain that we feel and can see in our bodies.  These patterns are our postures.

In the Rolfing series, we release these patterns together with hands-on bodywork and movement therapy. Your posture improves throughout the Rolfing series as we work together to reorganize your body and broaden your perception and your abilities. 

Gravity and Aging

Your Body is Yours for Life.

You are an infinitely complex being moving through life creating patterns that reflect your attitudes, your emotions and the way you see the world.  Your postures are your habits expressed in your physical form.  

Your body out of balance transmits its weight unevenly through its joint surfaces causing deterioration. This is commonly mistaken for the aging process.

Your balanced body transmits the pressure of its weight evenly through the surfaces of its joints and is supported effortlessly by the muscular and myofascial network.  


This can be seen as grace in motion.  

What is Fascia and how can Rolfing SI help you?

Fascia (a specific form of Connective tissue) is the white substance surrounding and penetrating all muscles, bones, nerves, ligaments and it even holds your organs in place. It has been recently proven to have contractile ability.  It is completely continuous in its flow though the body from muscle to bone to muscle etc, in 3 dimentions. It is the organ of relationship in the body and its’ shape and tone determines the shape of our bodies. 

Rolfing SI is based on the following premises:

* Most people are out of alignment with gravity;
* We function better when we are aligned with the gravitational field,
* The human body is so plastic that its alignment can be brought in to greater harmony at any time in a persons life.
