| The
mission of the Institute for Structural Integration (ISI)
is to provide continuing education for massage therapists
and bodyworkers in the Ida P. Rolf method of Structural Integration,
a process of profound personal transformation. The school
is dedicated to teaching Dr. Rolf's principles, including
her three main premises: |
| 1. |
Structural
Integration is both a technique for personal growth
and a philosophy of life.
|
| 2. |
The
fundamental teaching of the vertical line (a straight
line of gravity in a well-aligned body) is both a concept
and a lived experience of the physical, physiological,
and spiritual self.
|
| 3. |
The
process of organizing the body around the line, known
as the "Recipe," is central to the program.
|
|
| Through
these principles the Institute for Structural Integration is
committed to helping serve the community through dedicated practitioners
who embody Ida P. Rolfís vision of integrating body, mind and
spirit. |

Ida
P. Rolf
Creator of Structural
Integration
Dr.
Rolf was a rare person with incredibly creative insight - one
who had the ability to see things in a new way. This, along with
her curiosity, vision, intuitive nature, and, the gift of her
hands, led her in the 1930s and '40s to have many breakthrough
experiences while working with chronically disabled people who
had been unable to find help elsewhere. The sequence of work
that emerged became known as Structural Integration. For the
next thirty years Ida Rolf devoted herself to developing her
technique and training programs. Her legacy lives on in the work
of Structural Integration.

work as well as integrating Structural Integration in all areas of his
