Rolfing is a form of bodywork created by Dr. Ida P. Rolf.  A variety of hands-on and perceptual interventions are utilized to improve the body's posture and its relationship with gravity.  The moving parts of the body and girdles are addressed to evoke a functional relationship between them all, so they can work as a unified whole.  Respectful pressure is used to create change, movement, and space within the body's fascial web, which surrounds the muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and nerves.
