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

The origin of Rolfing
Rolfing is an original and scientifically validated system of body restructuring and movement education. It was developed over a lifetime of study and work by Dr Ida P Rolf, beginning in the 1920's. That development is still under way through the Rolf Institute in Boulder, Colorado. Ida Rolf Rolfing was developed by Dr. Ida P.Rolf, who received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the College of Physicians and Surgeons/ Columbia Univerity in 1920. The rest of her 83 years were dedicated to improving the structure and function of the human body, and the training of qualified practitioners in her methods of structural integration. |
