“Gravity Ace” is a group for discussing the topic:

Ida P. Rolf, PhD stood for the idea of learning to live in cooperative alignment with the force of Gravity. Such balance in the makeup of the human body is a human evolutionary potential. Trajectory?

Dr. Rolf observed that we are living below our natural innate potential for the kind of upright balance in the makeup of our bodies which we recognize as 1. correct in terms of human anatomical design ... and 2. basic laws of Physics.

“Some individuals may perceive their losing fight with gravity as a sharp pain in their back, others as the unflattering contour of their body, others as constant fatigue, yet others as an unrelentingly threatening environment. Those over forty may call it old age. And yet all these signals may be pointing to a single problem so prominent in their own structure, as well as others, that it has been ignored: they are off balance, they are at war with gravity.”

About her peerless and definitive approach to human structural balance [Rolf Structural Integration], she said:

“This is the gospel of Rolfing: When the body gets working appropriately, the force of Gravity can flow through. Then, spontaneously, the body heals itself.”


Gravity is the tool. Gravity is the therapist.”
