Larry Dossey, M.D., and best selling author:
“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.”
Suzanne A.:
“I resisted Rolfing® because I thought it would be very painful. ... After the first session, I left almost bouncing and walked happily for blocks. ... Today I had my tenth session. I still have an occasional pain when I lift something, but it’s coming along; it’s changing. I don’t know how many sessions I’ll have before I’m finished, but I don’t want it to end. Every time is such an awakening. I’m learning to respect my body and listen to the messages it gives me. I think there’s something to the fact that when you get [this work done] you deal with a lot of your emotional problems. ... I am also beginning to let go of the fear that I had been holding onto so dearly and facing my emotional problems. It’s a wonderful experience.”
John Rembao, University of Texas coach for Olympian Erin Aldrich:
“What is great about Rolfing® is that it integrates the entire body, not just the specific area that’s injured. Rolfers™ understand body movement and the intricate interconnections of muscle, bone, and tendons. Any injury at all effects the body as a whole. By making sure the body is functioning properly, one can increase performance.”
Jim Montgomery, M.D., and orthopedic surgeon:
“... People that have had chronic problems that have not been helped by anything else. All those people can be helped with Rolfing®.”
Mary Elizabeth Nordstrom, President, Moore Vocal Arts:
“I am 73 years old and have advanced scoliosis which the Rolfing® treatments have definitely begun to help.”
Elvis Stojko, Olympic Silver Medalist, Figure Skating:
“Rolfing® helped me to find my center of balance for competition; it puts my body in place.”
Jamal:
“Jamal is now 10 years old. According to his mother, ‘Jamal is pretty flexible physically and psychologically for a child his age. He is centered; he is himself. And I attribute that to Rolfing®.’ Jamal contributes, ‘Rolfing® makes you not ache as much. It relaxes your muscles and makes you feel much taller. It’s so relaxing, sometimes I’d fall asleep.’”
Mimi, four years old:
“When asked what Rolfing feels like... Mimi told her mother, ‘It feels like metal turning to cotton. Rolfing® is my favorite thing to do.’”
