The Rolf Institute Logo depicts the extraordinary story of a four year old boy, Tim Barrett, who was diagnosed with Leggs-Perthes disease in 1959. Tim's mother was advised by MDs to put him in a cast for five years. It was predicted Tim would be in a wheelchair by the age of 20. Dr. Ida Rolf believed she could help Tim without having to him put into a cast. She worked on him for several months and Tim grew up without any handicaps. Now a healthy, active surfer in his forties, Barrett lives with his family in Hawaii. |
