The Rolf Method of Structural Integration
The Rolf Method of Structural Integration is a holistic system of soft tissue manipulation and movement education that organizes the body in gravity. Initially performed in a progression of 10 sessions, this systematic approach focuses mainly on the connective tissue of the body (fascia, ligaments and tendons). By employing specific techniques the practitioner facilitates a re-education of the tissue, which allows for more space in the body, ease of movement, and support in the gravitational field.

“After ten sessions of body work with Dawn I feel like a completely different person and am more comfortable in my body and confident in myself then I can remember feeling before.”
“We are not truly upright, we are only on our way to being upright. This is a metaphysical consideration. One of the jobs of a Rolfer is to speed that process along. We want to get a man out of the place where gravity is his enemy. We want to get him into the place where gravity reinforces him and is a friend, a nourishing force.”
