Approximately 30 years ago I started having severe lower back pain. I would be tilted to my left and sometimes I would fall out of bed and crawl to the bathroom as I was in too much pain to walk. For the next few years I sought help from acupuncture, from chiropractic manipulation, and from medical doctors specializing in back problems and sports medicine. The frequency of my back problem went from a couple of times a year to every month where I learned if I would go to bed for three days the pain would go away, during this period I gave up tennis and golf and was now talking to the Doctors about an exploratory operation to hopefully fix the problem. As a last resort it was suggested I try Angela and a treatment called "Rolfing", she explained that this was a 10 session deep tissue re-alignment and after the 3rd treatment she asked if I started to feel better, I told her I always felt better after a few days of my back going out and I could not give credit until some time had passed..To make a long story we finished the 10 sessions and it’s been approximately 20 years. I am now 71 years old, a two handicap golfer and never once have had a reoccurrence of the old back problems....
God bless "Rolfing" and my friend Angela..

It had been going on two excruciating years, that the sciatica pain running down my leg had finally taken me down the path of seeking surgery as the only option.
My close friend Angela , knowing the drastic measures I was now opting for (after having gone to physical therapists, acupuncturist and chiropractors), offered a new approach, that of Rolfing.
Even though I was skeptical in the beginning, I decided to give it a try.
The day after the the sixth session, six weeks later, the pain virtually went away!!!!
That was four years ago (it’s now 2011) and I have been pain free ever since!!!!
I will forever be grateful that I met Angela and had her incredible healing work of Rolfing

My name is Amanda and I am 15 years old. I have suffered with poor posture for many years. After toting around heavy back packs and slouching in classes I had ruined my beautiful posture. At first everyone thought it was just the laziness not to stand up straight, but that's not what it felt like for me, something just wasn't right anymore. After trying to have good posture I ended up often feeling more pain than when I had started. It physically hurt to stand up in the proper way.
I had my first experience with Rolfing about 4 or 5 years ago. I felt a little better but, I was still collapsed, my shoulders rounded in, and my back curved way too much. After that I was skeptical with using Rolfing as a method for better posture, but recently my mom convinced, and even forced me to go to another rolfer.
This time however it was Angela. It took some time to get used to hanging out with her in a bra and underwear while she worked on me but it is definitely worth it. I am still in the process, but because I choose to be. I finished my ten week session but, because I am not yet standing straight, she has agreed to work on me till I have perfect posture. Since I started I have had a lot of success. I learned that forcing myself to stand up properly was actually bad for you and Angela helped my body find its way standing straight almost on its own. Of course my effort is somewhat required but it no longer hurts to try.
Now when I walk around school or when I'm going out, I find myself with so much confidence I surprise myself sometimes. Rolfing has changed me not only physically but emotionally too. I guess it’s just something you have to experience.
