Rolfing® Services
Rolfing® Structural Integration (SI) is a body based therapy designed to improve posture, movement, and overall body alignment by manipulating the body's fascial system.
Developed by Dr. Ida Rolf in the 1940s, Rolfing® SI focuses on the body's connective tissue to promote structural balance and enhance overall well-being. This technique is built on the understanding that the body's structure influences its function, and addressing misalignments can lead to improved physical and emotional health.
