Ingvalson Rolfing Graz

Fitness to Purpose

EN/DE

In a Rolfing session, the function of the body’s fascial network is improved using targeted manual pressure. This in turn encourages a more upright posture with less effort, making the influence of gravity a positive one rather than a source of discomfort and dysfunction. The goal is more relaxed and upright posture, easier movement and freer breathing.

An integrated structure – the true aim of Rolfing – is free of dysfunctional joint loading and connective tissue strain. The resulting improvement in integration often eliminates the deeper cause of chronic physical complaints; a welcome side effect, but not the actual goal of a Rolfing session or a series of Rolfing sessions. This is because the structural integration brought about by Rolfing is always a holistic and individual process for the whole person, and not a treatment for specific health problems.

Poor posture and
dysfunctional movement
patterns lead to muscle
tension and joint damage
as well as chronic pain.

“What happens when soft tissue and related bone structures actually function in the positions in space which their architectural design suggests as most appropriate?”

Ida P. Rolf Ph.D. (1896 - 1979)
developer of Rolfing Structural Integration

In the course of her hands-on work with people who came to her for help with physical pain and dysfunction, Dr. Ida Rolf developed a method to bring the body’s structure into harmony with the demands of gravity. She herself called this method "Structural Integration". Over time, her method became known as a modification of her own name, i.e. “Rolfing".
