Rolfing gives world-class Athletes an "edge"

Many Olympic and professional athletes have found that Rolfing enhances their performance and reduces recovery time for sport related injuries.

"My center of balance and performance greatly improved with Rolfing." - Elvis Stojko, 1997 World Champion Figure Skater

"Rolfing has made a huge difference."
- Joe Greene, 1996 US Bronze Medallist

5-Year UCLA Dept. of Kinesiology Study proves the following outstanding results from Rolfing:

Neuromuscular Results:

• greater physical skill
• greater movement efficiency
• improved neuromuscular balance
• more energy, less fatigue
• greater energy flow and balanced distribution of energy

Emotional Results:

• emotional calmness
• decrease in anxiety state
• improved sensory awareness
• feelings of well being
• improved memory recall

Enhance your physical efficiency

Through Rolfing, you may experience dramatic improvement in the effectiveness and efficiency of movement (see case study). You will use less energy for any given movement and perform the movement with more ease, power, and strength. Rolfing incorporates the science of bio-mechanics to work effectively with lower back pain, knee problems, athletic performance, injury prevention and recovery. 

"Generic sports massage therapies help with circulation and relaxation but Rolfing realigns the structure for greater efficiency and precision of movement."

- Dr. Karlis Ullis, MD. as the Sports Medicine and Anti-Aging Medical Group in Santa Monica, CA, advisor to US athletes in five Olympic games, in the sports of.figure skating, cross country skiing, bobsleigh, biathlon, track and field, and other sports.

Improve your flexibility

Rolfing can give you easier movement and a wider range of motion in the joints. By re-working the body's fascia (the connective tissue which encompasses and connects all muscles and organs), Rolfing releases the build up of  muscle tightness and allows the muscle fibers to lengthen to their optimal state.
