Rolfing or Structural Integration is a manual process for reorganizing and integrating the human body. The Rolfer uses physical pressure to guide connective tissue to a place that allows the body to move more freely, efficiently and with less pain. The Thompson Rolfing Center, founded in 1969 by Ron Thompson, offers an opportunity to invest in your body.
With 47 years of combined experience, the Thompson Rolfing Center is a pioneer in the development of Rolfing. Ron Thompson was a student and later the personal Rolfer to Dr. Ida Rolf (the founder of Rolfing), Rebecca Thompson studied under Ron. Your physical being, the body, is like clothing. It can fit so comfortably you hardly know it's there.

Rolfing Explained
Report
The basic tool of rolfing is gravity, we can fight against it or we can join it. The human body is a structure that must live within relation to gravity. Think of your body as a set of blocks stacked on each other. If your upright body is out of line, or that is to say your blocks are not stacked in line evenly, gravity will pull on your body in an unequal unbalanced fashion.

Rolfing works with connective tissue, which forms a web-like structure throughout the body. From superficial to the deepest layers at accommodate an active, moving body but it cannot be stretched out. Because of injury, illness, stress, aging and repetitive use, this tissue will shorten, thicken become more unyielding and twist according to the pattern of strain to which the body is subjected.
