Rolfing

Complementary and Manual Therapies

Rolfing is a form of alternative medicine originally developed by Ida Rolf, who lived from 1896 to 1979, under the name Structural Integration. It rests on Rolf's idea that the human body's energy field benefits from being aligned with the Earth's gravitational field. The practice is marketed with unproven claims of health benefits and is recognized as pseudoscience, generally characterized as quackery.
