The Promise Of Rolfing

The Promise of Rolfing® for Babies & Children

Discover How Gentle Structural Work Can Transform a Child’s Growth and Development

For nearly five decades, Robert Toporek has dedicated his life to bringing the power of Rolfing® Structural Integration to babies and children — helping them grow stronger, move freely, and thrive with confidence.

This work began under the direct guidance of Dr. Ida P. Rolf herself, who believed that no baby is born structurally integrated. With Robert’s compassionate touch and expertise, families across generations have witnessed the profound effects of this gentle, body-alignment method.

Now, you can explore the heart of this mission through Robert’s free downloadable monograph — “The Promise of Rolfing Babies & Children.”

About the Project

In 1978, under the direction of Dr. Rolf, Robert Toporek launched a groundbreaking project to demonstrate, document, and promote the benefits of Rolfing for babies and children. The project led to the creation of both:
  • A Monograph — The Promise of Rolfing Babies & Children
  • An award-winning documentary, capturing real stories and outcomes of this transformative work.

These materials continue to inspire families and professionals worldwide to embrace structural awareness and compassionate care from day one.
