Background of Rolfing

Rolfing was developed by Dr. Ida Rolf in the 1950s. Dr. Rolf completed her PhD in Biochemistry from Columbia University in 1920 and continued to study biochemistry thereafter. Blending her knowledge of hatha yoga, osteopathy, chiropractic, and homeopathy, she developed the Rolfing technique. Rolfing was designed with the goal of realigning the body in relation to gravity to create an overall sense of wellbeing. This is achieved by manipulating the myofascial tissue and providing movement education. 

To pass on her work, Dr. Ida Rolf designed the Rolfing 10-Series, also known as the 'recipe'. This is a series of sessions where we address the superficial and deep layers of the fascia in a systematic order to optimize structure and function. Each session focuses on a particular goal and area of the body.
