Mr David Lee
The Professional Rolfer
www.integrativechiropractic.com.sg

Probably the most extensively trained rolfer in Singapore, David Lee has studied with Peter Melchior and Emmett Hutchin, two of the first instructors appointed by Ida Rolf, a pioneer in the field of bodywork known as structural integration, more commonly called “rolfing”.

David’s passion for learning did not stop upon graduation from the Guild for Structural Integration, USA. He tirelessly continues his training to this day and has spent the last two years attending more workshops on advanced structural integration, earning his title of Advanced Practitioner of Structural Integration. Well-known instructors he has studied under include Jan Sultan, Michael Salveson, Louis Shultz, Sharon Hancoff, Tom Myers and Robert Scheilp. His exposure to osteopathy in the early days of his career led him to enroll in courses such as Muscle Energy Technique, Neuromuscular Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, as well as osteopathic manipulative skills taught by an osteopath in London.

Besides working on the body at the structural level, David also brings in theories on functional movement and functional exercises into his work, developed by leading professionals in this field. Eager to share, he recently became Assistant Instructor in Visceral (Organ) Manipulation with the Upledger Institute.

His daily health maintenance routine involves the practice of qigong and taichi (Wu style). He would like to organize a study group on bodywork, craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation class in the near future to benefit many more others in need.
