Method & positioning
- Strukturelle Integration (Rolfing®) — holistic manual bodywork on the fascia/connective tissue,
aligning the body in relation to gravity.
- Three working aspects: strukturell (manual work on connective tissue), funktionell
(interactive work on movement patterns), psychobiologisch (mental/emotional aspects in the process).
- Founder background: Ida P. Rolf (1896–1979), PhD Biochemistry/Physiology Columbia 1920,
Rockefeller Institute; founded the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration (RISI).
- Delivered as a structured 10-session series, each session building on the last:
1. Umfassende Atmung — how shoulder/pelvic girdle structure affects breathing
2. Verbindung zum Boden — how support comes from feet and legs
3. Länge im Körper — lengthening/decompressing the spinal curves
4. Offenheit im Beckenboden — inner midline support via inner legs and pelvic floor
5. Innere Aufrichtung — inner uprightness via the front of the body
6. Den Rücken atmen lassen — inner uprightness via the back of the body
7. Den Kopf frei machen — head and neck integrating the changes
8./9./10. Integration across all body segments; work on areas not yet integrated
- From session 10 on: continued integration and transfer, maintaining and consolidating.

Practitioner story (from ueber-mich)
Born healthy, but sudden structural changes in his youth brought cramps and imbalances; sport and work
led to "restless legs" that challenged him physically and mentally. In his thirties he began looking for
a solution and, through curiosity about fascial tissue, found Structural Integration. After a longer
break and a trip through Asia he recognised the role of bodywork in his own wellbeing; shaped by
experience with yoga, martial arts, meditation and various massage techniques, he retrained to
accompany people physically and psychologically.
