Rolf Bodyworks is located on a quiet country road in North Sterling, CT, not far from Route 6. Here, I offer an avenue for those of you who are interested in exploring and being curious about the healing potential that is locked inside your body. Through therapeutic bodywork, movement exercises and somatic education, my aim is to help you make a connection to a deeper part of yourself that wants to live more consciously in health.
Taking the necessary steps to honestly care for yourself can be one of the most important things that you do in your life. Participating in the process of managing your own healthcare and not waiting until you are sick or hurt is empowering and cultivates an ability to become more sensitive to your own needs.

For 2020, a new format is being offered for Thai Massage training. The 32 hour (32 CE) certificate program will be offered as 4 modules. These modules will be spaced 3 weeks apart, offering you time to practice and making each class easily affordable. This 4 module format will be offered continually throughout the year, so that if you miss one module you will have the opportunity to take it at a later date.
I started the Pay It Forward Program two years ago. There are a certain number of people out there that are not in a position to pay for some therapeutic bodywork, despite their apparent need. Perhaps their shoulder is bothering them or they have a problem with low back pain that is interfering with their ability to go to work or to simply function on a day to day basis.
Rob Martin Is this incredibly gentle and loving soul and I'm lucky enough to call him my friend! I've received body work from him in the form of traditional massage at a spa as well as Thai Massage at his own location. I've also had the pleasure of taking some of his classes! There's no doubt upon meeting this man that he is well seasoned in many styles of bodywork.

I always recommend Rob to everyone I meet who talk about discomfort in their body or who want a massage! Seriously, I travel about an hour to have corrective body work done or massage. I always look forward to it. He’s very friendly and makes you feel like you’ve been friends for years. I always leave feeling restored. He’s very knowledgeable and always goes above and beyond with tips on how to take care of your body going forward whether it’s with alignment or strengthening. I’m always well informed of what is going on to cause discomfort in my body when I have corrective bw done and

Ive seen Rob for my own therapeutic services and classes to continue my own education. His space is clear, comfortable and inviting. I loved doing multiple Thai Massage trainings in there. I also received rolfing with Rob which was a really unique yet amazing experience. Unlike any other kind of bodywork Ive received. He's been practicing for years and it comes through with his work and knowledge.

As A Student of Robs- I am so grateful to be able to take his classes. With his wisdom and wit- it makes for a great time to learn. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and he makes it a lot of fun to learn with him. He is knowledgeable and experienced in his practice and it definitely shows when it comes to his bodywork skills. I highly recommend him as an instructor & bodyworker.

Rob is a first rate bodyworker. As a career therapist myself I’m kind of picky about who I see. Rob has been my first choice for 20 years.
Robs sessions have always far exceeded my expectations and left me feeling great and with some new ideas to think about.
He is always studying or reading something new and I find his sessions inspiring and effective.
He has a great studio in an old house in Sterling. It’s got character and cozy just like Rob. I highly recommend him.

Rob is a wonderful, gentle man and great massage therapist. His studio and property are beautiful. I highly recommend him for massage; he's very experienced and knows what he is doing. Whether it's his "pay-it-forward" program or his patient approach to body work, everything is Stellar.
I'm really looking forward to going back and hopefully taking some classes. The drive is far but it's totally worth it. I would recommend Rob's services to anyone and everyone.

Rob is patient and professional but also easy going & understanding. I've gone for 2 treatments for a longstanding chronic pain issue and I am feeling better. Rob has a long history with body work, a wide knowledge base from study and application to draw from which helps you uniquely. He admits he's always learning something new, a keeps an open mind about concepts in order to best help his clients. He has strong but gentle hands & arms to get the stagnated muscles moving once again. It's a bit of a drive from central RI for me but it's worth it. Highly recommended.
