Imagine living in a flexible and balanced body, free of pain, stiffness and chronic stress. Imagine your body at ease with itself and able to adapt to life's physical, mental and emotional challenges.
This is what you can expect from Rolfing®, the process of structural integration that works on your body’s connective tissue (fascia) to release, realign and balance your whole body. Developed over 60 years ago by Dr. Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D, Rolfing can resolve pain and discomfort from many different causes, including those related to the lingering effects of accidents, illnesses, trauma, repetitive motion injuries, chronic pain and aging. Rolfing also complements yoga, Pilates and other personal wellness practices.
The genius of the work rests on Dr. Rolf's insight that the body is more at ease and functions most effectively when its structure is balanced in gravity. She observed that, over time, the field of gravity actually accentuates the body's imbalances and diminishes its flexibility. Based on these core observations, she developed her original method of hands-on manipulation - which later became known as Rolfing - to reduce gravity's adverse effects on the body. Quoting Dr. Rolf, "We are looking for a way to evoke human potential… to establish greater physical and mental vitality."
The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration (RISI) is the only organization worldwide that trains Certified Rolfers. Founded by Dr. Rolf in 1971, RISI also provides continuing education for structural integrators, sponsors research on Rolfing structural integration, and publishes a professional journal in the field.
Based in Boulder, Colorado, RISI’s growing network of international affiliate training centers presently operate in Europe, Brazil, Australia and Japan, in addition to the U.S.
