Rolfing is a manual and movement therapy that promotes structural and functional changes by freeing the body of pain, tension, and other limitations. Rolfing aids in injury prevention and recovery, optimizes physical and mental performance, and helps improve posture and flexibility. 

Dr. Ida P. Rolf, an American biochemist and the founder of Rolfing, designed the system as a way to deeply manipulate and reorganize fascia (connective tissue). Dr. Rolf’s primary discovery was that these tissues in the body, which develop strain patterns, could be reformed by an intelligent use of manipulation to separate and lengthen these thickened areas in the body.
