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 […]

Dr. Ida P. Rolf´s 1976 Annual Meeting Message
OPENING REMARKS Greetings to you all – to rolfers, their families and their friends and our guests. I am happy to win the place of choice – early in the program to welcome you all, and to again have the privilege of greeting you, individually and collectively. Year by year I become more painfully aware […]
The Art of Rolfing
When it was first introduced in the early ’60s, structural integration – or rolfing, as it is more commonly known was considered a revolutionary method of aligning the body with gravity through direct, hands-on manipulation. Gradually developed and refined over several decades by Dr. Ida Rolf, a biochemical researcher at the Rockefeller Institute, rolfing quickly […]
External Rotation of the Femur
I would like to share with you some thoughts about “external rotation of the femur”. Jan Sultan clarified an important point for me in his description of “internal and external types”. His external type had a tension in the piriformis muscle of the external rotator group. The effect of a short piriformis is an internal […]
Stress, Stimulus Intensity Control, and the Structural Integration Technique
In recent years, important developments in the field of neurophysiology have led to major discoveries regarding the sensory and motor nervous systems. Computer techniques for analyzing brain waves have made possible new uses for the electroencephalogram in studies of sensory and perceptual functioning. A number of studies have indicated systematic relationships between electrophysiological, biochemical and […]
