What is Structural Integration?

Structural integration is a scientifically validated method of restructuring the body through movement and touch. It was founded by Dr. Ida P. Rolf who developed a system of organizing the body, enabling it to let go of holding patterns and habitual stress.

Structural Integration (SI) (sometimes called "Rolfing") considers gravity , physical structure, and individual habits (such as work-related posture and physical activities) to bring a person into his/her vertical alignment .

Each session is designed to release areas of the body under strain and re-educate the body to stand and move freely and easily. The various goals and teachings of each session are unique to each body.

At the completion of 10 sessions, the body is better balanced in gravity and more at ease with itself and its environment. Chronic pain and discomfort are often alleviated and replaced with a feeling of fluidity and lightness.

"This is the gospel of Rolfing: When the body gets working appropriately, the force of gravity can flow though. Then, spontaneously the body heals itself. " Dr. Ida P. Rolf.
