Rolfing® Structural Integration
A Different Approach to Pain, Posture, and Movement
Philip Clampitt is a Certified Rolfing® Structural Integration practitioner who has been practicing since 2011.
Rolfing® Structural Integration is a specialized form of structural bodywork and movement education that takes a whole-body approach to posture, movement, connective tissue, and the body's relationship to gravity.
Rather than focusing only on where you feel pain or tension, Rolfing looks at the larger structural and movement patterns that may be contributing to the way your body is functioning.
Through skilled touch and therapeutic movement, Rolfing works with the body's connective-tissue relationships while helping clients develop greater awareness of how they move and organize their bodies.
Looking Beyond the Symptom
Pain is often experienced in one particular location, while the contributing pattern may involve other areas of the body.
Rolfing® considers these relationships.
The feet influence the legs.
The legs influence the pelvis.
The pelvis influences the spine.
The spine influences the rib cage, shoulders, neck, and head.
The body functions as an interconnected system.
Rolfing® Structural Integration works with these relationships rather than treating each area as an isolated problem.

Extensive Clinical Experience Since 2011
Philip's first decade in practice was spent working in-house in sports-medicine clinics under the direct supervision and collaboration of sports-medicine physicians.
This provided him with an unusually broad range of hands-on clinical experience working with people experiencing orthopedic, neurological, sports-related, injury-related, and postural conditions.
During those years, Philip worked directly alongside physicians and other healthcare professionals while developing his own specialized approach to Rolfing® Structural Integration.
He has hands-on experience with 30+ conditions and presentations, including back and neck pain, sciatica, headaches and migraines, scoliosis, disc problems, sports injuries, joint replacements, tendon and ligament injuries, whiplash, and automobile accidents.
His experience also includes working with professional and high-level athletes, as well as people dealing with everyday postural and movement challenges.
This extensive clinical background allows Philip to look beyond an isolated area of discomfort and consider the larger structural and movement patterns of the entire body.
Rolfing® Is Not Massage
One of the most common misconceptions about Rolfing® is that it is simply a form of deep-tissue massage.
It is not.
Massage and Rolfing® are different approaches with different training, methodologies, and goals.
Rolfing® Structural Integration focuses on structural organization, connective-tissue relationships, movement patterns, posture, and the body's relationship to gravity.
The work may involve sustained or deeper touch, but deep pressure is not what makes something Rolfing®.
The defining characteristic is the systematic, whole-body approach to structural integration and movement education.
Rolfing® and Chiropractic Care
Rolfing® and chiropractic care can also be complementary approaches.
Chiropractic care may focus more directly on joints and musculoskeletal function, while Rolfing® places greater emphasis on connective tissue, structural relationships, movement patterns, and the body's organization within gravity.
Rolfing® does not adjust joints.
For some people, combining different approaches can provide a broader perspective on their physical structure and movement.
Your Body Is More Than Where It Hurts
The place where you experience pain is not always the only place that matters.
The human body is an interconnected system.
An old injury can change the way you move.
A change in movement can create compensation somewhere else.
Years of compensation can become habitual.
Eventually, the pattern can feel completely normal.
Rolfing® works with these relationships and helps you become more aware of how your body is organized and how it moves.
The goal is not simply to chase symptoms from one location to another.
The goal is to help the body become more integrated, adaptable, and efficient in movement.
