“Support is not a thing; it’s a process. It’s the way we are in relationship with the ground, with gravity, and with our own vertical dimension.” - Mary Bond, from the article “Support Is a Balance of Elements That Are Not Solid at All” (Structure, Function, Integration Journal, June 2025)

Movement educator and long-time Rolf Movement™ teacher Mary Bond reflects on what true balance means in the human body. She explains that support doesn’t come from holding ourselves up – it arises from how we relate to space, gravity and movement.

Her insight beautifully echoes Ida P. Rolf’s timeless idea: “Support is relationship. Support is a balance of elements that aren’t solid at all.”

Flexibility is about freeing the fascia that surrounds your muscles. When fascia is tight or restricted, it can limit movement even if your muscles are healthy.

Rolfing® Structural Integration works through the fascial network to restore glide between layers of tissue, improve joint range of motion, and allow movement without strain.

Balanced structure means flexibility is functional. You can move through daily life, sports, and activities with greater ease and less risk of injury.

Your hips and pelvis form the foundation of your movement. When they’re out of alignment, your entire structure is affected, from how you walk to how your back feels at the end of the day.

Fascial restrictions, past injuries, or compensations from sitting for hours can cause imbalances in the pelvis. These imbalances can create uneven weight distribution, leg length discrepancies, or lower back strain.

Rolfing® Structural Integration helps restore balanced pelvic alignment in gravity, allowing muscles to work more efficiently and reducing stress on surrounding joints.

When your hips are balanced, everything works better, your stride feels smoother, your back feels lighter, and even your breathing can improve.
