Rolfing therapy, also known as Rolfing Structural Integration, is a hands-on approach to bodywork that aims to align and balance the body's structure through deep tissue manipulation. Developed by Dr. Ida Rolf in the 1940s, it focuses on the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles, to release tension and improve posture and movement. Practitioners believe that by reorganizing the body's structure, Rolfing can enhance physical performance, alleviate pain, and promote overall well-being. Sessions typically involve a series of treatments tailored to the individual’s needs.
