Meet David Davis
David Davis 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.

A Transformative Teacher and Mentor
“Mentorship is amazing. I had sessions with David Davis this week. I’ve been visiting him a few times a year for a while. Not only is the work transformative, I also get to grow and be inspired. First, I can’t imagine not getting regular sessions from a senior practitioner. David told me a long time ago that I needed to work with people senior to me because that’s the way the juice flows. Not always true, but… When we do sessions, I get to embody the work and experience what I’m trying to share. Connection, wholeness and deep opening. We also get to talk shop where I get inspired or affirmation. Without checking in, I can drift from what SI is. I can talk myself into anything. Organized disciplines have teachers to help keep egos in check. And, sometimes I can tell myself something 1000 times, but I can’t hear it until I hear it from someone I trust. It is a WE world. Mentorship keeps me from setting up camp on an island.”
