Interested in Rolfing? Here's What Working With Me is Like

If you’re reading this, you’re probably interested in trying Rolfing. Maybe someone you know told you about how it helped them solve their chronic pain when nothing else could. Problem is, as you’re doing your research, you still might not really know what to expect in your sessions. And, you may find that it can be tough to tell Rolfers apart, or to know who’s going to be the best fit for you. So, here are some nuts and bolts about what it’ll be like if you choose to try Rolfing with me to help you get the most out of your body and solve your chronic pain or movement challenges.

Is It Safe?

To our cognitive, thinking brains here at the end of May 2020, “Is it safe?” is a really stupid question. My guess would be that about 95% of you reading this, given some time to really ponder it, would answer with some variation on the following: “Who the hell knows?” There are a lot of variables out there in the world right now. Unfortunately for we humans, that level of uncertainty doesn't play well over time, often leading to chronic stress, tension, and all the challenges that go with those patterns (including pain).

You're Working Too Hard

When I see new clients, 80-90% of them share one common struggle that’s evident to me within minutes of meeting them. They’re working too hard. To put it simply, they are unconsciously creating pain and physical breakdown and it shows. The great news is that simple, awareness-based exercises you can do during the small pockets of your busy day or after a hard day’s work as a reset can yield a tremendous shift forward in your experience of your body.
