Every body has the capacity for change

Rolfing restores healthy functioning in the body and returns it to a more youthful, dynamic state. Over a series of ten 90-minute sessions, each part of the body is addressed and brought into alignment with the other parts to create a healthier, freer, more vibrant whole. Benefits include improved posture, greater flexibility, increased stamina, a heightened sense of well-being, and the resolution of chronic aches and pains. What’s more, these changes are very long lasting. Researchers at UCLA were still able to identify changes in the bodies of test subjects after five years with no additional work.

See Why They Love it So Much!

I came to see James because I was suffering from major trapezius myalgia. After the very first session, the pain was gone and never came back to the same degree. The following nine sessions changed me profoundly, on a physical and emotional level. Yes, emotional! Not only did his work alleviate a physical pain, it also facilitated my emotional wellbeing. Today I am pain free, more flexible when I do yoga, able to mediate, and be more in-tune with my body. Thank you, James!

The aches and pains that had accumulated in my body over the years have diminished greatly as a result of James’s work—far more than everything else I’ve tried. James is not only a very talented Rolfer, but a kind and sensitive health professional with whom you will immediately feel at ease.

A BIG KUDO to you. A few days after our last session I realized I was walking normally!!! I don't know what you did or why things happened the way they did, but my walk was very nearly normal for the first time in over three years!! Woo-hoo!! Can't wait to come in for my next session. "Expect a Miracle" is true after all. 🙂

"We often look at the human body a collection of individual parts: heart, eyes, feet, etc. But from a functional standpoint, it operates as a single, dynamic whole: when one part of the body becomes compromised, the entire structure is affected."
