Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D., the founder of this work, named her work Structural Integration. Also commonly known as Rolfing, Structural Integration is a form of work that assists the human body in moving to a place of better balance, better organization and greater overall freedom and wholeness. Structural Integration is a scientifically validated process of restructuring the body through movement, touch, and education. Structural Integration aims to re-educate the human body so that it lives and moves in harmony within the field of gravity rather than being at war with gravity.
