What
is Structural Integration? >
top
Structural Integration is based on the lifetime work of Dr,
Ida P. Rolf. The goal of Structural Integration is to re-educate
the body through a disciplined and intuitive touch. Structural Integration
is based on the belief that gravity is a force that impacts an individual's
structure in a profound manner. SI is a system of manipulation that
releases patterns, both emotional and physical, that have been absorbed
in the body. Structural Integration concerns itself mainly with
the myofascial systems. Connective tissue encompasses all the major
systems of the body. When there are imbalances in the myofascial
systems, pain, stiffness and the loss of range of movement manifest
themselves. By the lengthening and releasing of the fascia, the
body inherently has more flexibility and freedom. This very often
translates into a pain free condition and greater athletic performance.
Postural improvement is another of the benefits that is often experienced
after the ten session series of Structural Integration. |

What is Cranial Sacral Therapy? >
top
Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of
evaluating and enhancing the function of the craniosacral system
-- the physiological body system comprised of the membranes and
cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal
cord. It is a very gentle method that only requires 5 grams of pressure
(the weight of a nickel) to be effective. |

Will I be able to call myself a Rolfer after finishing the course?

No, you will not. The term is only granted to those who have graduated
from the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration which is located
in Boulder, Colorado. But, you may say that you have studied with
a graduate of the Rolf Institute, and have the knowledge to perform
the ten session series that Dr. Rolf left as her legacy. |

Will there be continuing education? >

Yes, after students have graduated and implemented the work in their
practices, there will be continuing education into fascial manipulation,
energy work. |
