Episode 60 - Conversations with David Davis


Listen Later

Today's conversation is with David Davis.

David is a Rolf Structural Integration practitioner and instructor recently relocated to Tucson, Arizona where he continues to bring the beauty that is The Work of Dr. Ida P. Rolf to his new home.  

During his first Structural Integration session he anticipated relief from chronic pain and disability due to sports injuries, physical labor, and an auto accident, but he was in awe with the new sense of comfort, relaxation, and natural mode that resulted. As his body, mind, and spirit were awakened through the holistic manipulation of fascia and alignment of the body structure, David was inspired to began a new life journey. He began his training at the Rolf Institute in 1976 – 1977, during the time when Dr. Ida P. Rolf was alive and Rolfing℠ and Structural Integration were synonymous.  

That first session would lead him to becoming the seventh Rolfer℠ in the state of Colorado, practicing The Work for 45 years, and being an instructor for 33 years. David has been one the most well respected and sought-after teachers of SI nationally and internationally. 


In today's conversation we spoke about David's experience as a Rolfer in the 1970's, how to build a practice as an SI practitioner, a lot of great stories and anecdotes from a practitioner with over 40 years of experience who studied with Dr Rolf, Emmett Hutchins, Peter Melchior and many other original Rolfers, technique vs process, PerSoma, "seeing" and bodyreading,  and a ton more.
