Dr. Ida P. Rolf received her Ph.D in Biochemistry from Columbia University in 1920. She furthered her body of knowledge through scientific research in organic chemistry at the Rockefeller Institute. Her extensive search for solutions to family health problems led her to examine many holistic approaches that could effect the structure of the body in functioning. These included yoga, osteopathy, chiropractic and homeopathic remedies. This together with her scientific knowledge, ingenuity, intuition, and hands on experience, guided her to a newer level of understanding in the value of the human body's structural system. She therefore, spent the next 40 years developing her techniques into the work of today - The Ten Session Series - A hands on approach for realigning the body with gravity through structural re-integration and myofascial release.
