The advantages of Rolfing (Structural Integration)

With Rolfing you will experience fewer pains and tensions, more energy, a better respitory system, recuction of stress, improved overall performance, increased performance in sports with reduced risk of injury, and an overall greater experience in sports, yoga, martial arts and other physical demanding exercises.

Who we typically work with

• Executives and Business Leaders

  The demands of high-stress careers can lead to physical tension and misalignment. Rolfing helps executives maintain physical well-being, reducing stress and enhancing energy levels, which can lead to better decision-making and overall performance.

• Athletes (Semi-Professional and Professional)

  Rolfing can enhance athletic performance by improving flexibility, coordination, and reducing the risk of injury. It's ideal for athletes who need to maintain peak physical condition and recover quickly from intense physical activity.

• Musicians

  Playing an instrument can lead to repetitive strain and postural imbalances. Rolfing addresses these issues, helping musicians maintain their physical well-being and play without discomfort.

• Actors

  For actors, physical expression is key. Rolfing helps actors move more freely and maintain good posture, which can enhance their presence and performance on stage or screen.

• Martial Arts Practitioners

  Martial artists require agility, balance, and strength. Rolfing helps by aligning the body, improving movement efficiency, and reducing the likelihood of injury, allowing practitioners to train at higher levels.

• Luxury Wellness Seekers

  Individuals who invest in their well-being and seek the highest quality in health services will find Rolfing to be an exceptional addition to their wellness routine. It offers profound benefits that go beyond what regular massages or spa treatments provide.

The Transformative Power of Scar Integration Therapy

Scars—whether from surgery, injury, or natural causes—can deeply affect both how you feel and how you move through life. These dense areas of fascia often create compensatory patterns that lead to chronic pain, restricted movement, and even emotional discomfort. In my practice, I offer a specialized approach to scar integration that doesn’t just address the cosmetic aspects of scars but also restores your body’s natural function and balance.

Inspired by the pioneering work of Sharon Wheeler, Scar Integration Therapy is a gentle yet powerful method that I’ve refined over years of practice. I work directly with the scar tissue, using a light, precise touch to reshape and reintegrate it into the fascial web. Think of it like working with delicate dough—transforming tough, rigid scars into softer, more flexible tissue. This therapy not only improves the appearance of scars but also helps alleviate the physical and emotional challenges they can cause.

The story of Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D.

Ida P. Rolf, a native New Yorker, graduated from Barnard College in 1916; and in 1920 she earned a Ph.D. in biological chemistry from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University. For the next twelve years Ida Rolf worked at the Rockefeller Institute, first in the Department of Chemotherapy and later in the Department of Organic Chemistry. Eventually, she rose to the rank of Associate, no small achievement for a young woman in those days.

In 1927, she took a leave of absence from her work to study mathematics and atomic physics at the Swiss Technical University in Zurich. During this time, she also studied homeopathic medicine in Geneva.

Returning from Europe, she spent the decade of the 1930’s seeking answers to personal and family health problems. Medical treatment available at that time seemed inadequate to her; this led to her exploration of osteopathy, chiropractic medicine, yoga, the Alexander technique and Korzybski’s work on states of consciousness.

By the 1940’s, she was working in a Manhattan apartment where her schedule was filled with people seeking help. She was committed to the scientific point of view, and yet many breakthroughs came intuitively through the work she did with chronically disabled persons unable to find help elsewhere. This was the work eventually to be known as Structural Integration. For the next thirty years, Ida Rolf devoted herself to developing her technique and training programs.

During the 1950’s, her reputation spread to England where she spent summers as a guest of John Bennett, a prominent mystic and student of Gurdjieff. Then, in the mid-60’s, Dr. Rolf was invited to Esalen Institute in California at the suggestion of Fritz Perls, founder of Gestalt Therapy. There she began training practitioners and instructors of Structural Integration.

The more Structural Integration classes Ida Rolf taught, the more students sought admission to training. Newspaper and magazine articles began featuring the person and work of Ida Rolf, and soon the necessity for a formal organization became apparent. As early as 1967, the first Guild for Structural Integration was loosely formed and eventually headquartered in a private home in Boulder, Colorado.

Until her death in 1979, Ida Rolf actively advanced training classes, giving direction to her organization, planning research projects, writing, publishing and public speaking. In 1977, she wrote Rolfing: The Integration of Human Structures (Harper and Row, Publishers). This book is the major written statement of Ida P. Rolf’s scholastic and experiential investigation into the direct intervention with the evolution of the human species.
