| ABOUT IDA ROLF, THE FOUNDER of STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION Dr. lda P. Rolf was the founder of STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION . In 1920,she earned her PhD in biochemistry from the College of Physician and Surgeons of Columbia University. For twelve years she worked at the Rockefeller Institute in •« Chemotherapy and Organic Chemistry departments. In the 1930's. challenged by a friend's disabilities and dissatisfied with the available medical treatment, Dr. Rolf explored Osteopathy, chiropractic medicine, Tantric Yoga, the Alexander Technique, Homeopathic medicine and Korzybski's work on the consciousness. By the 1940s she had developed and experienced many breakthroughs with the work she did on Chronically disabled persons unable to find help elsewhere. During her scientific research. she made a fundamental discovery about the body; the same network of connective tissue which contains and links the muscle system when it's healthy can be used to reshape it when it has been pulled out of proper order. Dr. Rolf further refined her technique and developed a trining program to insure that this important work would continue. There are two schools that conduct Dr. Rolfs training - The Guild for Structural Integration and The Rolf Institute. Both are involved in research to enhance the understanding of gravity's relationship to anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, body awareness and a mature sensitivity to psychological meditation. Dr. Rolf called her system of bodywork Structural Integration, a name which is descriptive of the process. ®Rolfing was a nickname, first coined in the 1960's at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur. The Rolf Institute, one of many schools of structural integration has since registered ®Rolfing and ®Rolfer as a trademark. Practitioners from other schools are usually referred to as structural integration therapists, certified structural integration practitioners, or s.i. practitioners just to name a few. |
