advancedrolfing | About Us
Rolfing is a body therapy system of hands on manipulation and education designed to improve whole body alignment, balance, flexibility, and use. Anatomically, Rolfing addresses the connective tissues of the musculoskeletal system. Like a unified web; muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, joints, and bones seamlessly attach to each other. Their beautiful interweaving reveals that the whole, truly, is greater than the sum of its parts. Rolfing seeks to return these myofascial relationships to their natural order and integrity.

The work is client-centered therapy. Our work is a collaborative process based listening to you and your body. Good communication, troubleshooting, and teamwork are keys to best outcomes. Attention to your body sensations, feelings, and whole person experience are all important aspects of the therapeutic container. When relevant, attention is paid to different factors across the biopsychosocial spectrum. Orthopedically speaking, the idea is to restore normal range of motion to motion restricted structures. Client education focuses on making practical and positive changes in your activities of daily life.
“A wonderful benefit I had right after the first Rolfing session was a sense of lightness, particularly on the ice. I felt very compact and totally in control, I had increased energy, better balance, and extra agility.”
- Brian Orser, Olympic Silver Medalist
"Rolfing has been stretching out muscle fibers that haven't been stretched for 30 years. When I started, my muscle fibers felt like petrified rock. Now they are getting progressively softer, more supple, and gaining elasticity."
- Leon Fleisher, Concert Pianist
"There is one major reason to take Rolfing seriously: it works. Not only can it dramatically change people's bodies, it can transform their lives as well. Rolfing is powerful stuff."
- Larry Dossey, M.D.
