Structural Integration: Origins and Development
Ida Pauline Rolf, PhD (1896–1979) in 1924. Photograph courtesy of Rockefeller Archive Center. Introduction Structural Integration (SI) is a system of manual therapy and sensorimotor education that purports to improve human biomechanical functioning as a whole rather than to treat particular symptoms. This article briefly reviews its origin and development; the theory, clinical methods, […]
Structural Integration, an Alternative Method of Manual Therapy and Sensorimotor Education
Objectives: The objectives of this report are to review the clinical practice of Structural Integration (SI), an alternative method of soft-tissue manipulation and sensorimotor education, and to summarize the evidence to date for mechanism and clinical efficacy. Methods: The author’s personal knowledge of SI literature, theory, and practice was supplemented by a data- base search, […]
Structural Integration as an Adjunct to Outpatient Rehabilitation for Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain
Structural Integration (SI) is an alternative method of manipulation and movement education. To obtain preliminary data on feasibility, effectiveness, and adverse events (AE), 46 outpatients from Boston area with chronic nonspecific low back pain analyzed by Wilcoxon rank sum, = 23?26 mm in SI + OR Neither the proportions of participants with nor the seriousness […]
Grounding Structural Concepts in Physical Reality
Ida Rolf consistently stressed the importance of „gravity, an unexplored factor in a more human use of human beings“. Examining this contention more specifically and concretely immediately leads to realizing that gravity as a physical force permanently interacts with other forces. These are normal force which acts from the ground up on the body and […]

Rolfing Children with Cerebral Palsy
Wendy is very excited about what is happening: she has noticed significant changes in her body -not so much in her walking pattern as in her ability to move in certain ways and to perform tasks she was not able to do prior to her Rolfing. Although she thinks she will need more work before […]
Rolfing By The Numbers
I’ve been interested to discover that 1986 is very much related to the theme of our connectedness, as understood from the ancient science of numerology. This is a way of looking at the Rolf Institute as if it were an individual, and its date of incorporation as the date of birth. This was May 27, […]

Questions such as, how can I protect myself from infection? How can I prevent infections from spreading client to client? How […]
Theoretical Aspects and Implications of the Internal/External System
The typology of internal and external structure was first presented by Jan Sultan in the Notes on S.I. 86/1. It has been implemented in the practice of some Rolfers in various forms and has shown to help understanding structure better and therefore formulating goals for working in a structurally more pertinent manner. Its potential has […]
