We’re pleased to announce that we’re ready to proceed with the Level-1 certification course for the Morales Method® Move In Mind™ program! (https://www.moralesmethod.com/moveinmind)

In November 2022, we will hold the live online class for Italian speaking students. This will include 6 group meetings of 3 hours, one per week (likely on Wednesday), in consecutive weeks, from 18:30h to 21:30h Italian time (9:30 am - 12:30 pm PST).

We will hold the Level 1 live online class again in January 2023 for English speaking students. Details to be determined.

For both classes, there are only 6 places available.

In order to participate, you must have completed the 10-hour Morales Method® Move in Mind- Level 1 online course via Teachable.

After completing the online course, you’ve met the prerequisite to attend the live online portion of the certification program that consists of 6 online meetings of 3 hours on Zoom (or related platform), led by Monica LA Canducci, creator of the Move In Mind™ method. These live courses will be done in combination with home study hours where the student will perform and document ten 1-hour sessions on other individuals and ten 30-minute self-explorations where the student practices Move in Mind™ on their own.

The 6 meetings of the live online course will allow participants to test and put into practice the content learned under the supervision and mentorship of Monica Canducci. During class, students will discuss cases they’ve done for their home study hours and each student will get the opportunity to lead the rest of the group in moving explorations according to the principles of Morales Method® Move In Mind™. Monica will be there to provide supervision, mentorship, and feedback.

After the final evaluation, students will have met the requirements to sign a license agreement with the Morales Method® to become a certified Morales Method® Move In Mind™ Practitioner.

We’re so excited to be holding these classes in the next few months! If you’re interested in participating in either of the live online classes we have coming up (the Italian class or the English class) to receive your Morales Method® Move in Mind™ certification, send us an email at [email protected] for more details!

🎂 Happy Birthday, Dr. Ida Rolf

Dr. Ida Rolf was born on 19 May 1896 - biochemist, researcher and founder of Rolfing® Structural Integration.

Her life’s work centred on a fundamental question:
How must the human body be organised to function efficiently in gravity?

From this inquiry emerged an approach that views the body as an integrated structure - shaped by posture, movement and balance, and connected through the fascial network.

More than a century later, her work continues to be practised and further developed worldwide.

✨ Around her birthday, the Explore Rolfing® Days invite you to learn more about this work and experience it for yourself.

Ti alleni, ma il tuo corpo fa fatica a recuperare?

Corri, vai in palestra, pedali nel weekend. Ti impegni, sei costante. Eppure arrivi sempre a un punto in cui le gambe sono pesanti, le spalle tirate, i muscoli che sembrano non mollare mai del tutto.

La prima cosa che pensiamo è: ho bisogno di riposare di più.

A volte è vero. Ma spesso il problema non è la quantità di riposo — è la qualità del recupero. Quando ci alleniamo, non lavoriamo solo i muscoli. Lavoriamo anche la fascia. È lei che coordina il movimento, trasferisce le forze, ammortizza gli impatti.
Se la fascia rimane tesa e compressa dopo lo sforzo, il recupero rallenta. I muscoli restano "bloccati" in uno stato di allerta. E il giorno dopo si riparte già stanchi.

Il riequilibrio miofasciale lavora esattamente su questo — restituire scorrevolezza e respiro ai tessuti profondi, permettendo al corpo di recuperare davvero.
Non sostituisce l'allenamento. Lo completa.

In 1920, Ida Rolf walked out of Columbia University with a PhD in biochemistry — one of the very few women in America to hold such a degree.
She had published research. She had worked alongside some of the greatest scientific minds of her era at the Rockefeller Institute. By every measure, she was exceptional.
But something kept pulling her away from the laboratory.
Her own body was struggling. So were her sons. And every time she looked to conventional medicine for answers, she got the same response: nothing wrong. Nothing we can find. Nothing we can do.
Ida Rolf wasn't built for that kind of answer.
She was a scientist. She knew that "we can't find it" didn't mean "it doesn't exist." So she started searching — not in textbooks, but in bodies. She began studying osteopathy, chiropractic, yoga, the Alexander Technique, and a dozen other healing traditions. She looked for patterns. For mechanisms. For the physical logic underneath pain that doctors had dismissed.
What she kept coming back to was fascia.
Fascia is the dense, fibrous connective tissue that wraps around every muscle, organ, nerve, and bone in the body. In the 1940s, medical textbooks treated it as filler — something you cut through to reach the real anatomy. Inert. Unimportant. Not worth studying.
Rolf saw something entirely different.
She believed fascia was adaptive — that it tightened and reorganized around injury, poor posture, and years of physical stress. And when that happened, the body gradually pulled itself out of alignment. Not in any way an X-ray could show. But in ways a person could feel every single day.
She began working with patients — methodically, carefully — applying deep, sustained manual pressure to release these restrictions. She called the method Structural Integration. She designed it as a ten-session system, working through the body layer by layer, restoring the alignment gravity was constantly fighting against.
People who came to her had often been everywhere else first.
They had chronic aches their doctors couldn't explain. Headaches that never quite left. Shoulders that felt locked. Backs that had ached for so long they'd started to believe the pain was just part of them.
And one by one, many of them found relief.
The medical establishment was not impressed.
She had no medical degree. Her ideas about connective tissue were outside the accepted model. Her language — structure, gravity, alignment — sounded more like philosophy than medicine to ears trained on pathology reports. And she was treating patients with conditions some doctors had already decided were all in their heads.
They called her a quack. They dismissed her method as unscientific manipulation. Some warned patients to stay away.
Ida Rolf kept working anyway.
Through the 1950s and into the 1960s, she trained practitioners. She refined her technique. She taught at Esalen Institute in California, where her ideas finally reached a wider audience — dancers, athletes, movement therapists, and people in chronic pain who had run out of other options.
She was demanding, uncompromising, and utterly convinced that the body's structure mattered in ways medicine hadn't fully reckoned with yet.
And in the decades after her death, something shifted.
Researchers began studying fascia with new tools and new interest. They found it was far from inert — threaded with nerve endings, responsive to mechanical pressure, capable of influencing how pain signals moved through the body. The study of fascial networks became a legitimate field. Physical therapists began incorporating connective tissue work. Anatomy education began changing.
Rolfing itself remains debated in clinical circles. But the fundamental idea Ida Rolf devoted her life to — that the body's connective tissue plays a meaningful role in chronic pain and structural health — has earned serious scientific attention.
She died on March 19, 1979, at age 82.
She had spent most of her career building something the world wasn't ready for — in a time when women were told their instincts weren't reliable, their methods weren't legitimate, and their patients' suffering wasn't real.
She believed the body held answers that medicine hadn't learned to ask for yet.
And she spent forty years proving it, one person at a time.

Hai mai pensato che l'origine della tua tensione lombare possa risiedere nei tuoi ?

Nell'Integrazione Strutturale seguiamo il principio della continuità fasciale: se la base non è in grado di "scaricare" il peso correttamente a terra, o a darti la spinta verso l’alto in grado di supportare l’intera struttura soprastante, le compensazioni risalgono lungo la colonna fino alla testa

Un Rolfer® è altamente preparato per osservare il tuo corpo nella sua interezza, bilanciando il rapporto tra i vari distretti per restituire alla tua schiena la sua naturale elasticità.

L’unico modo per comprendere questo effetto è sperimentarlo di persona!
