Deepen Your Touch.
Transform Your Practice.
The Institute for Structural Integration (ISI) provides advanced, life-changing education in the original 10-session principles of Ida P. Rolf. Move towards integration.
The Architecture of the Human Body
Founded in 1992 by John Latz, ISI honors the legacy of Dr. Ida P. Rolf. Structural Integration is more than a technique—it is a profound engagement with the “vertical line” and gravity itself.
Our connective tissue massage (CTM) and comprehensive Structural Integration programs are deeply rooted in understanding fascia as the organ of structure. We teach practitioners not just what to do, but how to feel, engage, and reorganize tissue while protecting their own body mechanics.
