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 […]
Investigação das relações entre postura corporal e funções orais

How Not to Hurt: Eight Methods to Delete Pain
All the stories revolved around pain, or so it seemed as my friends told of their rolling experiences. It made rile shy; but in the sessions, methods of processing pain soon evolved. It became fairly easy to strip away the horror of pain, by means of several different methods. Oddly, sometimes method 313 won’t work, […]
Olympic Runners Being Rolfed
The running study being, conducted at Arizona State University (ASU) is ready to begin. The pretesting of the three groups of ten subjects is completed. There will be a control group, a group receiving ten massages, and ten subjects being Rolfed. The thirty participants will all be elite runners, some of whom have qualified for […]
Specialty Pad Provides Comfort
I want to share with my colleagues what I consider to be an advancement in Rolfing technology. Breakthroughs being rare, this may be the most recent since rising from the floor onto the Rolfmg table. I want to recommend the use of foam, corrugated (“egg-carton”) sleeping pads placed over the mat you already have on […]
The Line, the Midline, the Postural Curve and Problems of Stance
Ida Rolf’s discovery of gravity as the major physical factor determining the shape of the body, its structure, culminates in the extremely simple block model. It demonstrates that the alignment of all segmental gravity centers, which should optimally be vertical, is the most succinct indicator for the degree of integrity or its lack in a […]
