The Science Behind Rolfing® Structural Integration for Back Pain

Why the Research Matters

Rolfing® Structural Integration isn’t just anecdotal—it’s supported by growing scientific and clinical interest in how fascia health impacts posture, mobility, and pain. Research suggests that targeted fascia work and movement education can create long-term improvements in alignment and function, often reducing the need for ongoing symptomatic care.

Exploring these studies can help you understand how and why Rolfing® works—so you can make an informed choice about your own care.
