“My experience with the Rolfing method of treatment has yielded pain relief from my symptoms of shoulder pain, low back pain, hip pain and neck pain that have plagued me for years. Each time I leave a session I feel as though I am walking on a cloud and am able to move about freely with no pain or soreness the day following my Rolfing session.”
“After injuring my knee years ago I began to have bouts of pain and swelling in my knee. Finally, the doctor simply said that my knee was pretty much gone and that I could get shots to buy some time before getting a replacement. I was not interested in shots so I decided to try Rolfing. Imagine my surprise when after my very first session I could feel a difference! I still had pain but it was different, better somehow! My knee actually felt like it had been realigned!”
“I was in a very bad car accident two and a half years ago and I have been to physical therapy, chiropractors, sports massage therapists, doctors, and gyms. I had some success with these professionals but there was still something missing for my recovery. After completing the 10 series of Rolfing, a little over a week ago, I just went on my first three-mile hike in years and I am completely pain-free. Thank you so much for all you did for me and I hope others find you as well.”
“This week I began living in my body. Unlike others who seek out Rolfing, I have not sustained a sports injury or had an accident that I needed to heal from. I have needed healing of a different kind. As a young adolescent, I grew tall fast. I was very self-conscious about towering above all of my peers and about being gawky. Rapid growth resulted in my developing scoliosis and my embarrassment led to a pattern of poor posture. My stressful job sitting all day just adds to the achiness my body has stored for decades. Every session with Clay is not only physically therapeutic, but it is also a lesson in anatomy and body mechanics. I leave every session feeling freer, lighter, less achy and—the only way I can describe it is “connected.” I have regained about ¼” in height that I lost over the years. As I stood up after the 7th session and Clay was encouraging me to become acquainted with what he called my “line,” the thoughts ran through my head: This is my line. This is how my body is supposed to feel. This is how it feels to be fully in my body. It’s not gawky and there’s no reason to feel self-conscious. This is MY unique body….and it’s not only OK to be in this body, it’s fantastic! Thank you, Clay!”
“I wanted to share with you what I felt after my last session I just noticed that for a couple of days I felt taller. It was almost a silly feeling and I didn’t mention it to anybody because it was so silly. Still, it lasted a couple of days, so I started to really think about it to figure out what could cause that feeling and it seemed as if I was standing straighter, like my posture was somehow better. Finally, a few days after that I put it together that it must have been from the Rolfing session. ”
“Holy cheese kabobs...I can breathe! Being able to take a full breath has been really, really amazing. I feel like I’m sitting and standing straighter - my mom noticed that my shoulders had dropped and a friend said I looked taller. After 1 session! I actually had to adjust my seat in my car this morning because it was uncomfortable for me to sit in the usual “slumped” position. I feel like I am able to move, and don’t feel as restricted. I met friends for brunchyesterday and put my elbows on the table and it felt like my shoulder blade popped out of place, but then I realized it was just able to move in a way it hadn’t before. I’m a bit sore everywhere, but it’s not painful. I actually woke up both yesterday and today with less of the usual amount of pain that I’m in.”
