Structural Integration

Structural Integration, also known as Rolfing, is a type of bodywork focused on realigning and restructuring the body to improve overall posture, movement, and balance. Developed by Dr. Ida Rolf, it aims to optimize the body’s alignment by manipulating the connective tissue, known as fascia, that surrounds muscles and organs.  It’s not just about relieving localized pain but addressing the body as a whole, seeking to bring it into better balance and alignment. Structural Integration typically involves a series of ten sessions, each focusing on specific areas of the body. These sessions progressively work on different layers of tissue to achieve overall structural improvement. Benefits of structural integration include improved posture, enhanced flexibility/movement, pain relief, and increased body awareness.
