Synopsis

Structural Integration: The Journal of the Rolf Institute® is the professional journal representing the field of Rolfing® Structural Integration. It has been in continuous publication for some forty years, initially as The Bulletin of Structural Integration and later as Rolf Lines.

This issue of Structural Integration: The Journal of the Rolf Institute®, Volume 44 No. 4 (December 2016), begins with a theme on shape – explored particularly through tensegrity, biotensegrity, and embryology. We hear from biotensegrity thought-leaders Stephen Levin and John Sharkey, from embryologist Jaap van der Wal, and from Rolfers whose depth of thought on tensegrity has led to interesting applications to the work of Rolfing SI.

We then look at Rolfing SI vis-ą-vis healthcare. Should Rolfers™ operate within the healthcare system? Should we explicitly opt out? We hear a multiplicity of viewpoints from members of our community. All are deeply familiar with the world of healthcare either through another vocation (medical doctor, physical therapist, MPH/nurse) or through close networking with healthcare professionals in their communities.
