Rolfing Structural Integration
What is Rolfing?
Rolfing Structural Integration was developed by Dr. Ida Rolf in the 1940s. Rolfing is a type of body work (manual therapy) and movement education that works through the fascial system to help people find more length and ease in their body.
What is Fascia?
Fascia is connective tissue in the body that has an appearance similar to a spider's web. Fascia encapsulates every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein, as well as all of our internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord. The most interesting aspect of the fascial system is that it is not just a system of separate coverings. It is actually one continuous structure that exists from head to toe without interruption. In this way you can see that each part of the entire body is connected to every other part by the fascia.
