“Rolfing” means “Rolf massage”, founded by Ida P. Rolf (1896-1979), a biochemist turned physical therapist who believed that muscle tension and emotions are closely related. Data show that Rolfing is effective in treating and improving low back pain, cerebral palsy, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Rolfing is different from the chiropractor theory we know because the latter focuses on the correction of the spine, while Rolfing also includes the correction of other parts of the body. The primary goal of Rolfing Structural Integration (SI) is to improve structure, posture, and movement, and based on key elements of Dr. Ida Rolf’s work on structural integration, Rolfing combines these elements with new developments in the fields of fascia, functional anatomy, and movement education. Scientific research combined.
“Rolfing Massage”, which was later introduced into the Puna Osho community in 1975, evolved into today’s “Energy Balance Massage Rebalancing Massage”.
