Evaluate the article
This article is part of a series about alternative medicine. The lead section of the article includes everything that it should. Without going into too much detail, it gives a concise overview of the rest of the article and each section that is included. All of the information that is stated in the lead section is relevant throughout the article. I'd say that the content of this article is all relevant to Rolfing, it's purpose, and the woman who developed the practice. I think that there is some unnecessary information included in the History section about schools that taught structural integration. The content all seems to be up-to-date, and I did not find any evidence of an equity gap in this article. A few of the sources are quite a bit older than the rest, but I do think that this is not an issue given the nature of the subject. They are all reliable, and I do not think that there could have been any better sources used. The links all checked out when I clicked on them. The article maintained a very neutral tone throughout its entirety. There were no signs of any persuasion and everything seems straight forward and based on fact. This article was written in a very concise and organized way. I did not see any grammatical or spelling errors. There are no images included in this article. I think that a photo of the woman who created Rolfing would have been a good thing to include. The information that I located in the talk page was mostly older information about making some things throughout the article more specific. Overall, the article is easy to read and includes accurate information. I think that it could be improved by adding more details as to what kinds of studies were done to decipher the accuracy of this treatment. I also would like to see images of Rolfing taking place to better understand what it actually is. The article could use some work, as it seems to be underdeveloped. This could be fixed if more details were be added to strengthen the article.
