Inhaltsangabe

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.

This issue of Structural Integration: The Journal of the Rolf Institute®, Volume 45 No. 3 (September 2017), looks at Rolfing® Structural Integration (SI) for Infants and Children.

Some Rolfers™ have made infants and children a particular focus of their work; others are led into working with kids after becoming parents; and others merely by happenstance – a client asking, “Can I bring my child in?” In this issue of Structural Integration: The Journal of the Rolf Institute®, we are pleased to share some of the many stories and understandings that have come about through this particular application of our work.

Rolfing® Structural Integration (SI) for children goes back to Ida Rolf herself. She worked with many children as she developed and taught her work, and students in Rolf’s early trainings often saw her work with children firsthand. One of the children became the ‘model’ for the Little Boy Logo – used by Rolfers and the Rolf Institute to this day as an elegant symbol for the power of Rolfing sessions to align the body in gravity. Rolf gave particular attention to Rolfing SI for kids towards the end of her life when she initiated a project in Philadelphia that became the subject of a monograph, The Promise of Rolfing Children, and award-winning documentary of the same name, both by Rolfer Robert Toporek. Since Rolf’s passing, it has become a tradition to host free or low-cost children’s clinics on May 19, Rolf’s birthday, as both a tribute to our founder and a chance to continue her legacy of working with children.
