By the 1940’s Dr Rolf had developed and experienced many breakthroughs with the work she did on chronically disabled persons unable to find help elsewhere.  During her scientific research, she made a fundamental discovery about the body: the same network of connective tissue which contains and links the muscle system when it’s healthy can be used to reshape it when it’s been pulled out of proper order.  Dr. Rolf further refined her technique and developed a training program to ensure that this important work would continue.  There are several schools that teach Dr Rolf’s work these days.  Graduates of these programs are required to have extensive knowledge in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, body awareness, ethics, and a mature sensitivity to psychological meditation.
