Support A Major Structural Integration Research Study
My postdoctoral research will measure the effects of Structural Integration on posture, pain, range-of-motion and soft tissue stiffness.
This will contribute significantly to scientific knowledge about Structural Integration, and to its recognition by boards of registration, medical institutions and the public.
This study has no outside funding, and your contribution is essential to support the costs of equipment, lab and professional fees, conference presentations and peer-reviewed publication.
Thanks so much for your support!
Your contribution will be matched dollar for dollar by the Rolf Research Foundation up to a combined total of US $30,000.
The Rolf Research Foundation is registered as a 501(c)3 educational nonprofit with the Internal Revenue Service of the United States. Your contribution may be tax deductible on United States tax returns to the extent permitted by law. After donating you will receive an emailed receipt acknowledging your donation.
ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
Ida P. Rolf Research Foundation
As a biochemist and researcher, Dr. Ida P. Rolf was keenly interested in researching the field of Structural Integration (SI). This foundation strives to fulfill her legacy.
The Ida P. Rolf Research Foundation is a 501(C)3, non-profit organization established to encourage and support evidence-based studies of Structural Integration’s effects and its implications for conventional and complementary health care. The Foundation was created with generous support from the Rolf Institute® of Structural Integration, Boulder, Colorado. The Rolf Institute provided the initial financing and talent. Since then, the Foundation has been an independent entity that seeks to advance the entire field of Structural Integration and all recognized schools of SI.
The Foundation is dedicated to growing the symbiotic relationship between science and therapeutic practice. Our focus on the collaborative research is grounded in over 40 years of experience improving the human condition through Structural Integration, as originally taught by Dr. Rolf. Advancements in scientific tools and research methods are increasing our understanding of the practice of Structural Integration and uncovering shared interests with other fields.

VISION
Transform the scientific paradigm for the way the human body is perceived and treated, using structural integration, in medical and integrative health settings worldwide.
The Ida P. Rolf Research Foundation (IPRRF), introduced in 2007 at the First International Fascia Research Congress, encourages and supports interdisciplinary, scientifically sound research focusing on the therapeutic mechanisms, clinical effects, longer-term health effects, and utilization of Structural Integration, a therapeutic method designed to evoke whole body improvement of function and well-being.
