Anyone try rolfing/structural integration?

I came across an article in Experience Life magazine (I think it might be put out by Lifetime Fitness) that talked about rolfing and structural integration. Has anyone tried this and if so what was your experience? From what I understand, it is a form of very deep muscle tissue manipulation that is supposed to realign the body and center it with gravity. I seem to go from one issue to another with respect to aches and pain. I go from knee pain to hamstring to hips to low back etc.. and I would really like to finally release the tightness and restore flexibility. My biggest fear is that it is supposed to be very painful and I'm not sure if I could handle it. I have had shiatsu massage which uses deep pressure point massage and the pain almost made me cry ;( If anyone is interested in info visit www.rolf.org and it explains the process and helps you locate a practitioner in your area. Anyway, just wondering what people's thoughts were on this and if anyone has had it done.
