Structural Integration (SI) - Rolfing

Structural integration, also known as Rolfing, is the method Dr. Ida Rolf developed that is based on deep tissue manipulations, and movement education, with the intention of re-aligning and re-educating the human structure within the field of gravity.

Structural integration is a non-symptomatic alternative medicine and holistic approach that beings with an initial series of 10 sessions of deep tissue manipulations and movement education. Some other branches of the inheritage of Dr. Ida Rolf are similarly starting with an initial series, with a slightly different number of sessions however, and usually a closely related format.

Although the symptoms are not the primary concern of the practitioner, structural integration often has long term positive effects with a broad variety of locomotion related conditions, general as well as localized, especially chronic myofascial conditions where conventional approaches often are not the most adequate, and sometimes overly invasive as in surgical procedures.  Chronic movement, neuro-muscular, and myofascial, conditions respond particularly well to structural integration.

The experience itself of re-discovering a sense of harmony in one’s body is one of the most appreciated processes of SI, along with better movements, being better grounded, using the body more harmoniously with less energy, and more efficiently within the field of gravity.

Because structural integration deeply changes the body, it is usually not recommended to extend the basic 10-series right away, and instead, it is advised to wait a few months before additional sessions “”tune-up 3 series, or also the advanced 5 series). Sometimes however, some severe chronic conditions can be considered exceptions to the general rule, and more attention can be given to such cases.
