This topic is a pseudoscience, and is not accepted by the scientific community as a valid discipline.
Although it may use scientific terminology, it does not use scientific methodology.

Rolfing (tm) is the massage of the body's connective tissue or fascia, usually done in a series of 8-10 sessions lasting 1 hour each. Rolfing has a reputation for being painful. It is claimed to bring the body's posture back into correct alignment, stretch the connective tissue back to its original length, increase height, correct poor range of motion and bad habits, unburden your bank account of excess cash, and have many unspecified general health benefits. Rolfing is a trademark of The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration of Boulder, Colorado, which certifies anyone wishing to practice Rolfing.
Rolfing is not to be confused with ROFLing, which is "roling on the floor laughing"-ing.
