The ROLFING^® training

As heirs of Ida Rolf's wonderful legacy, we are very proud to call ourselves Rolfers. So much so that the words Rolfing and Rolfer are protected under International law. Only those who have successfully completed the full and authentic Rolf training and have been formally certified by the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration are entitled to call themselves Certified Rolfers.

In this way the quality of the Classical Rolfing training and the reputation that Rolfing enjoys as one of the most effective and powerful methods for improving structure and function has been maintained for over half a century. Continued research over this period interface between mind and body has ensured that Rolfing stays at the cutting edge of manual therapy.
