It is a method of structural integration that is the product of 50 years of study by Dr. Rolf. Through guided movements of the client, the Rolfer slowly stretches and repositions the body's fascia, which is the supportive wrapping of the body. The standard 10-session series may be completed at a rate of one session per week, or spread as long as six months. Sessions can last from 60 minutes to a little over one hour. The results of Rolfing are not only long lasting, they are progressive.
Clients report feeling and looking better and better for several months after their last session.

She began Rolfing in the 1930's. By the 1950's she was presenting her work to the chiropractic community throughout North America.
