Structural Integration (Rolfing)

Structural Integration (Rolfing)

Lynn Cohen

Structural Integration (also known as “Rolfing”®) is what Ida P. Rolf, Ph. D., called her system of manual therapy designed to balance and align the body in gravity. Adaptations to gravity within the muscular-skeletal system usually result in pain, and can look like flat feet, rounded shoulders, a hunched back…“bad posture”….and pain!    Structural Integration strives to align and balance the body’s segments (ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, neck) until the entire system is a smoothly functioning coordinated whole.

The reason we can’t simply “stand up straight” to correct these imbalances is because they are reinforced by fascia, whose job it is to support the positions of muscle and bones. But, what goes down can come up, and fascia can be eased back to a pliable state, allowing muscles and bones to return to their structurally appropriate positions.

An aligned body moves with greater ease. It becomes more flexible and coordinated.  It requires less energy to function. Good posture is effortless.  Breathing is easier.  Athletic performance improves.  Many people feel younger and look thinner.  Structural Integration is known to substantially reduce pain and improve posture.
