What's the difference between Rolfing® Structural Integration, rolfing, and structural integration?
Rolfing® Structural Integration, commonly called Rolfing, is the original structural integration method. Dr. Ida P. Rolf created the field of structural integration and founded the Rolf Institute® of Structural Integration (RISI), recently renamed to the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® of Structural Integration (DIRI). Graduates of the DIRI who complete sufficient ongoing education requirements and remain in good standing with the DIRI can become certified Rolfers®. Other structural integration schools were founded based upon the work of Dr. Rolf, but due to trademarking laws, they must use generic terms, such as Structural Integration or the Rolf Method, to describe their work.
