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 systems that study the effect of structure on function. This included yoga, osteopathic, chiropractic and homepathic remedies. This, together with her scientific knowledge, ingenuity, intuition, and hands on experience, guided her to a new understanding in the value of the human body structural system. She, therefore, spent the next 40 years developing her techniques into the work of today - The Ten Session Series, hands on approach for realigning the body with gravity through structural reintegration.
