Structural Integration (Rolfing™)
- Are you suffering from chronic tension or stress in your body?
- Is your posture poor or uncomfortable?
- Are you recovering from accident, injury, illness, surgery or emotional trauma?
Sometimes called "rolfing" after the founder Dr. Ida Rolf – Structural Integration is a deep form of bodywork which gives lasting structural change. It releases holding patterns and injuries in your body, integrating the body segments into one balanced unit so you can move more easily.

“Structural Integration is about the whole person, it is about connective tissue, fascia and feeling. The sensation of moving from weakness to strength, the exhilaration of owning a new part of oneself, the immediate and simultaneous re-education of one's being and action, the joy of self empowerment, waking up, these are the experiences of Structural Integration”. Dr Ida P. Rolf
Why choose Structural Integration?
As we go through life our bodies are damaged by accident, illness, physical and emotional trauma and stress. Our adult form often loses the balanced and easy posture we had as children or young adults.
Shoulders get stiff, feet turn out, lower backs become hollow, necks can stiffen and settle into our shoulders. As our bodies become unbalanced our physical strain starts to spills over into our relationships and the way we handle daily life. Descriptions of body postures - such as 'shouldering the burden' or 'pain in the neck' - have become ingrained in our daily language.
Dr. Rolf described our bodies as plastic, meaning that they can lose their structure as we go through life, becoming de-formed. Structural Integration re-forms the damaged tissue and aligns body segments. This releases old patterns of pain or emotional holding, thus enabling the body to start healing.
Structural Integration can transform your body in a way nothing else can...
Who can Structural Integration help?
Structural Integration is suitable for adults and children of all ages. Although it can help a wide range of physical conditions, many people have sessions to increase feelings of well- being; most gain increased energy and self-confidence whilst becoming more in tune with their bodies.
