The rolfing (also named structural integration ) is a method of continuous total Touché of deep conjunctive fabric developed by Ida Rolf 50 years ago in the United States. Among his pupils one can quote Peter Melchior, Emmett Hutchins, Judith Aston, Bill Williams, Edward Maupin, Rosemary Feitis, Stacey Mills and Byron Gentry.

“You cannot realign you by the simple action of the thought. Structural integration enables you to reach that point. It is a preparation for the use of terrestrial gravity. ” - Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D.

“We want to avoid that a person is in a situation where gravity becomes enemy. We seek to restore balance allowing gravity to reinforce the organization, a such friend, a nutritive force. ” - Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D.

“We are not held really upright. We are only on the way… One of the tasks of Rolfer is to accelerate this proccessus moving. ” - Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D.

“When the body functions in an adapted way, the gravitational force can cross it without encumber. At this point in time he cures himself spontaneously. ” - Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D.

“Rolfing penetrates in the body process and changes its race… The effects are not simply permanent, they are progressive. ” - Rosemary Feitis
