WELLNESS THROUGH STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION

There are substantial differences between structural integration (SI) and massage in rationale, technique, and training,” says Eric Jacobson, Ph.D., MPH, president of the Ida P. Rolf Research Foundation and lecturer of Global Health & Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School. “It is a different way of looking at the body.” Developed by biochemist Ida P. Rolf in the 1940s, SI is a form of massage therapy that treats the body as a holistic system, with a particular focus on fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds the body’s muscles, blood vessels, organs and nerves.¹
