Dr. Ida Rolf (Rolfing)

Dr. Ida Rolf was a pioneering American biochemist who developed Rolfing, a manual therapy aimed at improving body alignment and movement. Rolfing involves deep, precise massage techniques to manipulate connective tissue (fascia), helping to release tension and correct structural imbalances. The goal is to enhance posture, reduce pain, and promote better function by restoring natural body alignment. Rolfing is often used as part of holistic health, supporting physical well-being and increasing body awareness. It is practiced by trained professionals and can be beneficial for those experiencing chronic pain, postural issues, or seeking overall physical integration.
