Rolfing's approach to
Structural Integration is based on:

* Principles of Intervention
that allow the practitioner to develop strategies of intervention
that recognize the unique needs of the client and guide work
outside a basic 10-session series when appropriate.

* Gentle Techniques
that allow more profound results with less discomfort for the
client ~  nothing is forced. Skillful Rolfing should never feel
sharply painful or invasive.

* Joint Mobilization Techniques
to release restrictions in joint motion that impede the whole
body organization.

* Personal Experience
refers to the holistic approach of Rolfing and its recognition that
this work impacts the whole person. It is fundamentally
"client-centered," aiming for greater ease of effort,
self-organization and adaptive capacity within each individual.

This involves a unique blending of functional and structural
approaches. Unlike massage, Rolfing is very much a participatory
and educational process. It is concerned as much with how
people experience and use their bodies, as with their structural
organization in gravity.
