What is Rolfing®?

Rolfing® Structural Integration is a system of hands-on treatments and exercises developed by Dr. Ida Rolf. It focuses on releasing tension and helping to create better posture, balance, alignment, and freedom of movement.

I practice a gentle approach to this work, combining my years of experience as a massage therapist, my physical therapy training, and my training in craniosacral therapy, visceral and neural manipulation, and other techniques, to create a healing experience that is custom-tailored to each client's individual needs.

What do I treat?  What sets me apart?


People come to me for a wide variety of issues, from specific conditions, like sciatica, low back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain, TMJ, migraines, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis or golf elbow, and plantar fasciitis, to general concerns, like a desire to improve their posture, comfort, and ease in their body, or to improve their overall athletic performance.

I have also had a lot of success treating chronic tension and pain and helping people with long-standing issues that have proven difficult to treat in the past, helping with recovery from accidents and injuries, and with preparation for and recovery from surgery.

What sets me apart is my extensive training and years of experience.  I have a nuanced approach to each client's health and I "listen" carefully to each body that I treat. I work on the appropriate structure, at the appropriate depth, and try to work with the tissue, not just "on" the tissue. I find that this approach causes less pain in my clients and helps them to integrate and incorporate the work more quickly and easily, so the effects last.


Treatments offered:

Whole body balance - a 10-12 session series of Structural Integration  
Tune-ups - a great way to maintain and advance the work of the series
Specific treatments - address specific issues or the general balance and alignment of the body​
Abdominal massage - a combination of osteopathic abdominal techniques and Chinese abdominal massage, to release tension in the gut, improve digestion, and heal from within.  This work is excellent for anyone who has had abdominal surgeries, including appendix and gall bladder surgeries, and Caesarean sections.

Helping you feel better, fast.

    Te​n Reasons to Try Rolfing®


• Improved posture: Rolfing helps to align and balance the body's structure through releasing tension in "stuck" and tight tissue, leading to better posture and reduced strain on muscles and joints. This can be especially beneficial for individuals with chronic pain or postural issues.

• Enhanced mobility and flexibility: Rolfing sessions involve hands-on bodywork and stretching, which can increase joint mobility and overall flexibility.

• Pain relief: Many people turn to Rolfing for relief from chronic pain conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and sciatica. By addressing fascial restrictions and imbalances in the body, Rolfing helps to alleviate discomfort.

• Stress reduction: Rolfing emphasizes the mind-body connection, and clients usually report feeling reduced stress and increased relaxation after sessions. This can be attributed to the physical release of tension and the heightened awareness of bodily sensations.

• Chronic condition management: Some individuals with chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia or scoliosis have reported relief and improved quality of life through Rolfing.

• Improved athletic performance: Rolfing is known to enhance athletic performance and prevent injuries by optimizing the body's alignment and range of motion.

• Better circulation: Rolfing improves blood and lymphatic circulation by releasing fascial and muscular restrictions, benefiting overall health.

• Increased body awareness: Rolfing encourages clients to become more in tune with their bodies and how they move. This heightened body awareness can lead to improved self-care and better overall physical health.

• Emotional release: Some individuals experience emotional releases during or after Rolfing sessions. This can be a therapeutic process for addressing past traumas or emotional tensions stored in the body.

​• Holistic approach: Rolfing takes a holistic approach to wellness, considering the body as a whole system. This approach can help address underlying issues rather than just treating symptoms

Testimonials


 "Jeremy is one of those special practitioners who can combine excellent skill and keen intuition. In just one session, he brought me relief from chronic hip pain that I'd suffered with for years.  
  
​ I had increased mobility and was completely pain-free for months after that one session. It was amazing!"

                                                                                                                                                              - Andrea C.


"I felt like I could breath more deeply after my first session and noticed that swimming was easier."

                                                                                                                                                                - Martin R.


"The professionalism and expertise that Jeremy brings to each treatment session create an atmosphere of complete trust, in which true healing can occur."  
                                                                                                                                                                - Richard B.


 "I have known Jeremy for almost 10 years.  I have experienced his healing body work on many occasions and highly recommend his work.  He is an excellent skilled practitioner with a deep spiritual life that includes daily reality and a sense of humor for the human condition.  I have been a body worker for 30 years and have found Jeremy's work very beneficial for maintaining my physical and mental health for my own work."  
                                                                                                                                                                - Cheryl W.


"After suffering from a herniated disc, and a subsequent microdiscectomy surgery (L4-5), I was worried I would never have my active lifestyle back again. Jeremy created a specialized treatment program that progressed and changed as I recovered to take me all the way from post-surgery through total recovery. He took the time to listen to my concerns and answered all of my questions about what was happening with each exercise and move. Jeremy's calm reassuring manner of explaining complex anatomy questions allowed me to visualize clearly the issues associated with my recovery.  It has been nine months since my surgery and I am back to being active- hiking, biking, gardening & running -  thanks to Jeremy's excellent program and care!  

I would definitely recommend Jeremy to anyone suffering a herniated disc or recovering from back surgery. He was professional, kind, encouraging and incredibly competent."
