This is done through direct manipulation and education so that greater ease and freedom of
body movement is achieved.
I understand that Structural Integration is not involved with the treatment of disease of any kind, nor does it substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment when such attention is needed.
The Rolfing practitioner does not treat, prescribe, or diagnose an illness, disease, or any other physical or mental disorder of the person. Nothing done or said by the Rolfer should be misconstrued to be medical advice or psychotherapy as such.
I understand it is necessary for the Rolfer to touch my body in order to assist me in establishing balance and alignment in the body.
I give Michael (Moylan) Ryan Rolfing, my permission and consent to do all things necessary in helping me establish balance and alignment, including but not limited to touching my body.
I give the Rolfer full privilege and license to work on my body in such a way to restore and
establish balance and alignment therein.
Furthermore, I understand that any relief of physical or emotional symptoms is coincidental in the organization of the total human being and is not the basic goal of structural integration.
