Who created Rolf Method of Structural Integration?
Dr. Ida P. Rolf was the founder of the modality called The Rolf Method of Structural Integration in 1968. She had a Ph.D in Biochemistry and was interested in and studied many alternative healing modalities. She designed the system as a way to deeply manipulate and reorganize the connective tissue system which surrounds every muscle and organ in the body. She created a 10 session series focusing on a different part of the body each session, to bring the body back into alignment with gravity. Yoga, Osteopathy, and The Alexander Technique most influenced Dr. Rolf in her creation of the 10 series posture balancing program.
