wasnt it true that ida was an osteopath before developing rolfing? im a chiropractor at the moment and although i work deeply i think my work should be DEEPER and include more soft tissue work, any rolfers out there want to comment? :-)
No, Ida was a Biochemist who worked for the Rockafeller institute in the 20's and wrote 27 papers on enzyme research. After leaving she developed an interest in alternative therapies: yoga for its effect of counteracting gravities forces and osteopathy triggered her ideas about working with the fascia to deal with gravities effects on the body.
Rolfing helped me immensely to improve my posture and eliminate back pain when I went through the ten series about a decade ago. It it a very fascinating technique.

I love being an educator of Ida's method, and provoking and noticing the shifts in my own body along with my psyche.

Thank you. I have been a Rolfer for 10 years and this is the first time I see and hear Ida Rolf. She is incredible.
