Whats the deal with the name?
Ida Rolf called her work Structural Integration (SI), but even during her lifetime it became popularly known as Rolfing. Since that time, many different schools of Structural Integration have been created by her students or those influenced by her way of working. The oldest, The Rolf Institute®, is where Toby studied and is the only school to certify practitioners as Rolfers. KimLien studied Kinesis Myofascial Integration (KMI) at Certified Advanced Rolfer™ Tom Myer’s school. Since they did not study at The Rolf Institute, they cannot legally call themselves Rolfers, but they are Structural Integration Practitioners in the Rolf tradition.
