We have TWO Certified Rolfers and TWO massage therapists, so we are sure to have the right fit for your needs. Whether you want to improve your posture, get out of pain, improve in a sport, or just de-stress, we can help you SEVEN days a week! The goal of Rolfing is to balance and organize all of the soft tissues of the body in movement and gravity.
The side effect of doing this is that people notice more efficiency in their bodies. Pain is the body's way of telling you that something is wrong, much like the lights on the dashboard of a car. So if you have headaches. In medicine, the expression "When you hear hoofbeats, look for horses not zebras" means that we shouldn't start with an assumption that the patient is suffering from.

One of the things that separates Rolfing from other types of bodywork is the detailed assessment process we do before, during, and after each session.
Therefore it is CRITICAL to wear undergarments that you are comfortable wearing and walking in (in the privacy of the room with just us).
Undergarments are worn DURING the ENTIRE session.
Breasts need to be covered in a standard, back clasping bra.
Sportsbras and t-back bras block the spine and other structures we must see and treat during the session.

Rolfing is not massage.
Let's just start there.
This is not meant as a slam to massage, far from it.
In fact, I've been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 1989, and only became a Certified Rolfer in 2001.
This is why it's important to me to clarify that they are not the same.
They have different training, different goals, and different ways of achieving them.
Basically, Rolfing is the original brand of Structural Integration developed by Dr. Ida Rolf in the 1960s and 1970s.
Rolfing is designed to help correct postural and structural imbalances in movement and gravity, through a specific and time-tested method of bodywork.

Scheduling - We will schedule the ENTIRE Series before we start so that we are sure we are both available to complete it within the optimal time frame.
Body Image Concerns - Although this has come up for women more than men, this does happen for both.
From Hollywood to Madison Avenue, our society has trained us that we are all supposed to look a certain way.
Please know that humans don't look like the images we see portrayed in Film or print.
I will not be judging you and I don't care about fat, muscle tone, stretch marks, odd shapes, scars, mastectomies, skin problems, hair, etc.
