DR. IDA ROLF

1896 ~ 1979

The art of Rolf Therapy represents the life work of Dr. Ida Rolf. After earning her Ph. D in Biological Chemistry in 1920, Dr. Rolf worked at the Rockefeller Institute. She spent 50 years studying, developing and then teaching her system of creating a more upright human structure with greater verticality and balance, which functions more efficiently within gravity: the field in which we live.

"Some individuals may perceive their losing fight with gravity as a sharp pain in their back ... others as constant fatigue ... those over 40 may call it old age, and yet all these signals may be pointing to a single problem ... they are off balance"

Dr. Ida Rolf
