What is Rolfing

Rolfing® Structural Integration is a system of hands-on body manipulation to help align the body within gravity. It focuses on the fascia (connective tissue) but involves the whole body.Certified Rolfers® use touch and movement to support their clients in improving their posture and movement patterns.Rolfing is different from therapies like massage, deep tissue work, chiropractic or osteopathy. But people often present with similar physical symptoms.

Rolf Movement™ is an approach to movement education that focuses on somatic sensory-motor techniques. This method teaches clients to recognise the natural biomechanics of the body in motion and consider sensory perceptions. First of all, it is about aligning the body structure optimally in space before turning to movement.
