European Rolfing Association

We are a non-profit organisation, based in Munich formed in 1991 for the benefit of all Certified Rolfers™ practicing in Europe. As a service organisation we offer representation on behalf of our members.

We provide representation of all our members for the mutual benefit of the health conscious public and practicing Rolfers™. We market ourselves to the widest possible audience and are currently engaged in four key missions.

1. While actively maintaining development, training and scientific co-operation with our parent organisation The Rolf Institute® of Structural Integration (Boulder, CO/USA), we seek independence as a semi-independent institute representing all Rolfers™ in Europe.

2. We seek an enhanced level of flexibility within the ERA education system, supported by an independent European faculty. We aim to extend our training options, including teaching in local languages, while ensuring our exceptional standards are maintained.

3. We are engaging in a strategic marketing and communications programme to promote Rolfing® Structural Integration as an outstanding contributor to the growing and increasingly important holistic and preventative health field.

4. We continue to operate for the benefit of our members as a service organisation. We guide, educate, and offer practical advice. The establishment of networking, mentoring and supervision systems are measures to assist us in maintaining and exceeding the high standards expected of Rolfing® practitioners and clients worldwide.
