ROLFING

Clients often seek Rolfing as a non-invasive alternative to surgery or long-term medication, particularly for issues related to injury recovery, scar tissue, or musculoskeletal dysfunction. It supports structural realignment, enhances mobility, and can improve physical performance, making it valuable for both everyday function and athletic longevity.

Rolfing has a reputation for being painful, but most clients are surprised by how good it feels. Sensations vary—some areas feel like a deep release, others may be tender depending on your body’s history. Any discomfort is a “good hurt” and never forced. You stay actively involved, and the pace is always adjusted to what you can comfortably handle.

Yes. Rolfing creates long-term change by improving how your body holds and distributes weight and stress. As your structure shifts, your body rebuilds itself in better alignment—so results often last for years, even after just one series.

The 10-Series is Dr. Ida Rolf’s signature approach to improving how your body moves and functions. It’s a structured sequence of ten sessions, each with a specific focus, designed to gradually unwind tension and improve alignment. Think of it as a full body tune-up. While the framework stays consistent, each session is adapted to your individual needs, ensuring the work is both effective and personalized.

Not at all. Start with one session and see how you feel. Most people notice changes within the first few visits. Session three is a natural checkpoint—if you’re seeing progress, that’s a great time to decide whether to continue and commit to the full series over the next few months.

That’s up to you. Some clients feel great and don’t return, while others come in occasionally for tune-ups—especially athletes, desk workers, or those with chronic issues. Some use Rolfing instead of massage, and others return for focused follow-up sessions months later. There’s no right way—just what works best for your body.

Fabulous. Rolfing and chiropractic care work well together. Chiropractic adjusts bones to restore joint function, while Rolfing works on the connective tissue that holds those bones in place. If your adjustments aren’t holding, tight or imbalanced fascia may be the reason—and Rolfing can help make those changes more lasting.

Massage and Rolfing serve different purposes. Massage focuses on relaxation, while Rolfing aims to improve alignment and long-term function. Both are beneficial, and they complement each other well. After completing the 10-Series, regular bodywork—whether massage or Rolfing—can help maintain your results and overall well-being.

Movement.. Rolfing introduces new movement possibilities, but it’s up to you to use them. Regular activity helps your body integrate these changes and keep them. If you don’t use it, you lose it—your body won’t maintain options it doesn’t need. Movement keeps you flexible, functional, and feeling your best.

Rolfers are trained and certified through the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration in Boulder, Colorado—the only accredited school for Rolfing. The certification process typically takes two years and includes in-depth study of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, Rolfing theory, movement integration, and manual therapy techniques. Students also complete extensive hands-on clinical work under supervision. Continuing education is required to maintain certification, and Rolfers must also stay in good standing with the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute to remain listed as a certified practitioner. 

We do not accept traditional health insurance as we have found that most do not cover manual therapy. However, we are able to accept HSA/FSA cards if you have a Health or Flex Savings Account.

Yes! Studies show a 30-minute infrared sauna session can burn 400–600 calories—even more than jogging. As your body absorbs infrared heat, it increases circulation, boosts heart rate, and stimulates cellular energy (ATP), mimicking the effects of cardio exercise. You get the calorie-burning benefits while simply relaxing.

Infrared heat raises core body temperature, which can stimulate the release of Human Growth Hormone (HGH)—a hormone known to support fat metabolism and promote lean muscle growth. Because infrared saunas penetrate deeper than traditional heat, they’re more effective at triggering this response, even at lower, more comfortable temperatures. Over time, consistent use may help improve body composition by increasing muscle-to-fat ratio.

Please keep in mind, that like regular exercise and a healthy diet, to maintain ideal weight through infrared sauna therapy, it should become a regular practice. Inquire about our protocols and discount packages for best results!
