Structural Integration is Dr. Rolf’s “procedure for establishing myofascial balance and relieving chronic structural stress.” Yet, it goes far beyond this. Practitioners often say that “gravity is the therapist” and for good reason, it is inescapable. It takes effort to stand up, as a result, 90% of our brain’s output is for balance (Dr. Roger Sperry). By bringing the body to greater verticality, might it be possible to get support from the gravitational field? A definite sense of lift can be felt. A feeling of lightness, yet firmly grounded. The body begins to trust itself and wastes less energy bracing itself, “posing”. How much more energy would you have? With this in mind, it makes sense when Dr. Rolf said that, “[w]hen the body gets working appropriately, the force of gravity can flow through. Then spontaneously, the body heals itself.”
