What do these services offer?
Ten Series: A traditional hallmark of Rolfing, it is a systematic recipe that is designed to balance and optimize both the structure (shape) and the function (movement) of the entire body. The Ten Series is meant to address the individual’s underlying structural patterns and is therefore catered to you. If you like how your body feels after one session, come try another. At no time will you be forced to commit to Ten Sessions.
Fix It Work: For those looking to relieve pain from a specific area of the body such as ankle, knee, shoulder, etc. This is usually done in one to three sessions to address the part of the body that is causing discomfort and the anatomical and fascial relationships that connect to the specific part of the body in discomfort, rather than following a recipe to address underlying structural patterns. Though Fix It work is usually not as sustainable and not always as effective as a classic Ten Series, it is often quite effective for athletes who are in season, or in intensive training.
