The Rolf Institute

The Rolf Institute, established by Dr. Ida P. Rolf in the 1970s, focuses on Rolfing Structural Integration—a type of bodywork that aims to align the body, improve posture, and enhance movement. Rolfing uses deep tissue manipulation and movement education to release tension and manipulate the fascial system, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs. Practitioners, trained through the institute, help clients achieve greater physical awareness and balance, often leading to reduced pain and improved overall well-being. The Rolf Institute offers certification programs for professionals seeking to specialize in this therapeutic technique.
