What is Rolfing

Balanced in gravity

Structural Integration, more than massage

Rolfing® uses hands-on connective tissue work and movement education to balance the whole body in gravity. Dr. Ida P. Rolf developed it more than fifty years ago.

Toby assesses how you stand, sit, and move, and reassesses all three throughout a session, so the changes carry into daily life, where you need them most.

A series that spirals through the body

Sessions build on each other, balancing front to back, side to side, top to bottom, and inside to outside. The series adapts to your goals and what your body can do.

Who it helps

For every body

All ages and health levels

Clients come to Toby with goals ranging from better athletic performance to managing chronic pain. Common reasons include:

  • Pain: chronic low back pain, TMJ, carpal tunnel, stress and migraine headaches.
  • Posture: standing, sitting, and moving with more ease and less effort.
  • Performance: athletes looking for range, recovery, and fewer repetitive motion injuries.
  • Awareness: more energy, stamina, and freedom of movement.
