Rolfing, also known as structural integration, is a hands-on bodywork approach that focuses on realigning and balancing the body's connective tissue (fascia) to improve posture, movement, and overall well-being. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

What it is:

Rolfing is a system of bodywork developed by Dr. Ida P. Rolf that addresses the body's structural imbalances by manipulating the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, organs, and other structures. 

How it works:

Rolfing practitioners use a series of ten hands-on sessions to release tension in the fascia, aiming to restore the body's natural alignment and improve its function.
