(part of Wikipedia entry on the subject)

Rolfing is the commonly used name for the system of Structural Integration soft tissue manipulation founded by Ida Pauline Rolf[1] in the 1950s. The terms Rolfing and Rolfer are trademarks of The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration.[2]

The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration states that Rolfing is a "holistic system of soft tissue manipulation and movement education that organized the whole body in gravity".[3] Claims include that clients stand straighter, gain height, and move better through the correction of soft tissue fixations or improper tonus.

A 2004 review of Rolfing found that "there is no evidence-based literature to support Rolfing in any specific disease group".[4]

I've never tried it, but it sounds like it could be worth a try if you think it can help you.
