Ida Rolf Rolfing Technique Pictures

Structural Integration, commonly known as Rolfing, was pioneered by Dr. Ida P. Rolf, who earned a Ph. D. in biochemistry. She sought for alternative methods to relieve pain, and to gain mobility.

Dr. Rolf discovered that all the structures of the body are covered with a connective tissue called fascia. The focus of her work is on stretching the fascia so that the body can come into proper alignment and be balanced to its center of gravity.

Ida Rolf Rolfing technique pictures will show the practitioner working on the body to lengthen and manipulate the fascia. You will see that the practitioner uses much of his/her weight assisted by gravity to put pressure on the client's body to break down the stiff fibers of the connective fascia.
