Dr. Robert Schleip is interviewed by Eric Jacobson about his team’s recent analysis of data from Rolfer and physical therapist Helen James on the biomechanical benefits of Structural Integration, and her groundbreaking career.
Helen James recorded Rolfing Structural Integration session data for more than 500 patients over 23 years. This treasure trove of data demonstrated an increase in range of motion, breathing capacity, and symmetry following the 10 sessions of Rolfing. Robert Schleip and his team published this data.
