Rolfing Structural Integration is not simply massage, but a system of deep manipulation of the fascia that aims to restructure the tissues that surround all muscles, bones, nerves and relieve physical misalignment and pain. Rolfing's ultimate goal, along with resetting alignment patterns in the body, is to improve movement and posture, reduce stress and create an overall sense of well-being.
You become more in touch with your body, experience less pain and stress, improve your posture, even release repressed emotions and diminish habitual muscle tension. People who have experienced Rolfing often find an improvement in their professional and daily activities. People who have been rolfed report that they feel lighter, taller and have more energy.

I began seeing Joachim earlier this past fall after 2.5 years of low back and SI joint pain due to a kettlebell injury. Prior to this I had spent hours doing physical therapy, and had multiple rounds of very expensive injections (cortisone, dextrose, Platelet rich plasma, and stem cells), all which provided benefit, but I was still not where I wanted to be. It's now been 12 weeks or so since I started the Rolfing 10 series and the benefits of each session have really carried over to further my recovery. My back has more flexibility, and less frequent and severe tension/burning/pain since my 10

I'm on session 7 but I was sold after my first.
I went for the 10 pack and Joachim has not only helped me fix bad habits I have with my posture but also helped me think differently. It's as though I'm getting therapized along side of the body work.
I've been to other rolfers and think I sign up for the 10 yearly going forward.

I have been working for Amazon and my arms started going numb. I went to Joachim and was amazed at the immediate difference. He worked with my body overall and realigned & adjusted my entire body. I had many massages trying to work it out but in one session he did more than any previous work. I was able to sleep through the night. I highly recommend him! This will not be my last session!

Joachim is a Godsend!! Since Christmas 2020 I've been tormented with migraines- over 138 days ruined by misery.
I saw him on May 30 2021 and my migraines vanished. I have my life back.
He is gentle yet strong, focused and responsive, and appears to have an ability to observe movement patterns and resolve them in the most expedient way imaginable. OMG!

Last night around 9:45, my dog dislocated her jaw while chewing on a hard bone. She is a pitty w/a very strong bite. She was in pain and her jaw wouldn’t function correctly. I called 3 different 24hr pet hospitals that had wait times of 3-8 hrs. In looking for an alternate solution, I remembered the work Joachim had done on me in the past & that he had worked on horses & other animals too. I called him at 10:00 to see if he’d be willing to help us. He came right over and worked on our dog’s jaw, with noticeable improvement. Today, we drove the dog to his office for a follow-up. After the

Joachim was highly recommended to me but I was somewhat skeptical of Rolfing. I have a unique gait abnormality that has plaqued me for over 10 years. Several therapists, neurologists, and trainers have all been frustrated at its diagnosis and possible corrective actions. Joachim saw things others had not seen and was able to introduce simple but effective modifications to my walking. They have dramatically improved my situation. Joachim is insistent yet compassionate in his approach; he listened to what I said AND to what he saw and modified as appropriate. A good experience..

I had the pleasure of working with Joachim for the past year and have to say the changes that have occured with the physical work that he does and the mental shift that has happened in me are significant to me. Being able to perceive the the change in body and mind are uplifting. If you are ready to see this happen Joachim is the person to work with.

Joachim is a wealth of skill, knowledge and experience. I looked forward to each appointment of the series and would do it all over again without hesitation. Besides the immediate pain relief from each session, this therapy brought awareness to consequences of an old injury and I was given solutions to correct over a decade of poor alignment. My headaches are better and migraines are essentially gone. My jaw clenching and grinding is reduced, and my sleep is better. There was a meditative nature to this bodywork which was incredibly valuable. I am much more aware of and connected to my body compared

Joachim is amazing!!! He is a top notch specialist at what he does and knows exactly what he is doing. He carefully listens to all the pain you are experiencing and addresses those issues with high knowledge. I had a severe case, My right shoulder was noticeably lower than my left and was causing a lot of pain in my upper traps. After just a few sessions, my shoulders were leveled and the pain was gone! I have been to many chiropractors and physical therapists In the past and have just felt temporary pleasure and no real lasting results. If you are looking for someone to get down to the root of

Joachim is a miracle worker. He was able to fix my back even though orthopedics, chiropractors, physical therapists and massage therapists could not. My back was so far out of alignment that it caused a cascade of painful areas in my back, shoulders and neck. Joachim uses pressure points and leverage to adjust the "pulleys and ropes" of the body. He is deliberate and observant which is how he can figure out where exactly to adjust. Joachim also gave me a great framework for how to avoid the behavior that led to the misalignment and I have been able to proactively keep myself in check
