Riassunto

Structural Integration: The Journal of the Rolf Institute® is the professional journal representing the field of Rolfing® Structural Integration. It has been in continuous publication for some forty years, initially as The Bulletin of Structural Integration and later as Rolf Lines.

Ida P. Rolf developed and taught Rolfing® SI for the human body, but a number of the Rolfers™ who carry on her work have applied the Rolfing conceptualization of structure in gravity and fascial touch to animals, particularly horses, dogs, and cats. This issue of Structural Integration: The Journal of the Rolf Institute®, Volume 43 No. 3 (November 2015), has two themes: 1) Rolfing SI and Animals, and 2) The Human Animal. In the first, Rolfers share about their work to assist animals with structural and movement issues. Other articles reveal how animals interact and assist our work and understanding. In the second theme we have various considerations of the ‘human animal’, taking the perspectives of evolution, anthropology, and paleontology to understand more deeply about human structure; a deeper look at the polyvagal theory and the respiratory system; and considerations of how humans today live, for better or worse. Additional articles in the Perspectives section discuss recent research conferences on fascia and biotensegrity, the structure of the foot, and relating to gravity.

Informazioni sull'autore

The Rolf Institute® of Structural Integration was established in 1971 by Dr. Ida P. Rolf to carry on the work she originated, the field of structural integration. Dr. Rolf's genius was to consider these two factors in combination - how gravity affects a body's structure and alignment, and the holistic role of fascia (the body's connective tissues) in maintaining the shape and flexibility of the human form. With these concepts, she developed a process for optimizing body posture and structure by aligning and re-organizing the fascia.

The vision of The Rolf Institute is to bring the benefits of Rolfing® Structural Integration to the world. This is accomplished through internationally-recognized certification programs in Rolfing Structural Integration and Rolf Movement® Integration, as well as continuing education programs for practitioners. The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration is the only school that teaches Rolfing Structural Integration and graduates Certified Rolfers™ worldwide. The Rolf Institute also underwrites and promotes research and public education about the benefits of Rolfing SI, including the publication of its scholarly periodical, Structural Integration: The Journal of The Rolf Institute®.
