La recherche sur le Rolfing®

La recherche était une priorité pour la fondatrice de l’intégration structurelle par le Rolfing®.

 

La docteure Ida P. Rolf, a été professeure associée au Rockefeller Institute à New York (maintenant appelé Rockefeller University) après avoir reçu son doctorat en biochimie du College of Physicians and Surgeons de l’Université de Columbia, dans les années 1920.

Pour la docteure Rolf la recherche évaluée par les pairs était très importante.  C’est par des preuves visuelles qu’elle documentait les changements obtenus suite à la série de dix séances d’intégration structurelle par le Rolfing®.  Des photographes captaient soigneusement la posture naturelle des clients avant et après les dix séances.

 

 

Les practiciens de Rolfing sont formés pour observer les différences individuelles de l’anatomie tridimensionnelle, une observation éclairée par l’anatomie et la physiologie, de même que par les descriptions détaillées de la structure humaine élaborées par Ida P. Rolf.

De nos jours, les Rolfers™ utilisent des marqueurs cliniques comme indicateurs du succès de leurs traitements.  Ceux-ci incluent l’évaluation visuelle de la démarche, la posture, la flexibilité des articulations, les courbes de la colonne vertébrale, l’alignement des différentes parties du corps, etc., ainsi que l’auto-évaluation du niveau de vitalité au quotidien, des douleurs resenties, de la qualité du sommeil, de la réactivité émotionnelle, des états traumatiques, etc.

On trouvera ci-dessous les articles et les livres écrits par la docteure Ida P. Rolf, ainsi que quelques études et publications sur l’intégration structurelle par le Rolfing®.  Nous recommandons enfin le Fascia Research Congress comme autre source d’articles spécialisés et idées contemporaines à propos de l’utilisation de l’intégration structurelle comme thérapie par le toucher.
