Why Choose Rolfing?
Rolfing is a bodywork practice that benefits people from all walks of life: athletes, dancers, parents, children, and business professionals. Rolfers look at the body systemically, identifying areas affected by fascial restrictions and conscious or unconscious patterns of movement and posture.
Our daily routines place significant demands on our bodies, often leading to adaptations that may no longer serve us well after injuries, discomfort, or trauma. Research shows that Rolfing can improve muscle efficiency helping the body conserve energy. By promoting balanced structural support and functional movement, Rolfing enhances the body’s natural ability to heal, revitalizing your sense of comfort and ease within your own body.

Testimonials
"Mike introduced me to Rolfing in late 2020 when I was dealing with an episode of acute lower back pain. It was so bad that I had trouble getting up the stairs or getting dressed. Lots of work was done on my low back, but just as much was much was done on the imbalances contributing to my pain. Mike has an incredible abilty to make manual therapy feel collaborative, letting the body guide our session. I continue to work with him whenever I have nagging pain that I can't shake."
Hunter Stewart, DPT
"If you're struggling with injuries, soreness, or just want to learn more about your body, I highly recommend Rolfing. I seriously got so much value out of just ONE session."
Aiden Scott
"While I was travelling through America for a friends wedding, I saw Mike for a sprained ankle and recurring injuries in both of my knees. Thanks to his treatment, I noticed what felt like an increase in blood flow to the affected areas significantly helping my recovery time. I was even able to train at a few events post treatment, with minimal restrictions. His knowledge and ability to articulate his process to me was so comforting, and it gave me the confidence I needed to step back out on the floor."
