Rolfing Structural Integration

16/05/2024

On the occasion of Dr. Ida Rolf's birthday on 19 May, we look at her groundbreaking contributions to Rolfing® Structural Integration:

„Rolf was a pioneer. She was a biochemistry professor in New York in the 1920s. When she was lecturing and publishing about postural release in the 1950s, she was talking about the fascial web and its organization in gravity as the starting place for an entire profession. She was ahead of her time, truly a revolutionary.“ – Libby Eason, Certified Advanced Rolfer® and Rolf Movement™ practitioner, Atlanta, Georiga, USA

One of the objectives of Rolfing®Structural Integration is to free the breath. Complete and deep inhalation should be as effortless as possible, exhalation should be relaxed and allow a person to let go. In order to breath freely, the Rolfing® Ten Series focuses on enhancing thoracic mobility and allowing each breath to spread throughout the entire body. Myofascial tissues on the front of the rib cage and shoulder girdle are often short.

As a result, the ribs cannot move freely with each inhalation – something that occurs 15,000 to 20,000 times every day. Over time, the shortness in these frontal structures often increases not only limiting breathing but creating restrictions in organ mobility as well. In many cases, even a single Rolfing session can often bring considerable relief.
