Testimonials from Rolfing Patients

I was in a serious car accident over ten years ago that left my body with constant aches and pains, a limited range of motion, and out of alignment. Prior to going to Jim, I was a patient of chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture, and pain management. These different methods provided me with temporary relief, if that. My first Rolfing session with Jim did more for me than the over ten years of the combined methods I was using to mask my pain. Since Rolfing, my lower back has stopped aching, my posture is straighter and my range of motion is back to being normal. My arms and legs feel flexible once again and my hamstrings no longer feel like they are going to split in half. Rolfing has opened up my chest cavity, allowing me to breath deeper. My stamina and energy levels have increased significantly. Rolfing has given me a second chance at life and I am forever grateful for having had Jim work on me. It is by far the greatest investment I have made in my life.

Dear Jim,
Let me say Thank you for your treatments, your engagement and that you found the time to make it possible! It supports me in my every day life - physical and psychological. And best of all, I enjoy horseback riding through our woods a lot more!

Dear Jim,
It has been about a year since I became "integrated". You never told me that it would keep getting better!! Absolutely unbelievable. I feel so comfortable in my body it's amazing. Whenever I feel stressed out I take a long walk, revel in the even placement of my feet, let my shoulders expand and my head sit tall. It's so cool!

Dear Jim
As an equestrian my body is my tool so it is important for me to feel my best so I can be effective at my job. When you spend most of your days in the saddle you get your fair share of bumps, bruises and sore spots. I met Jim Arkison about a year ago when he introduced me to Rolfing. I had never heard about Rolfing before and was curious to learn more about this practice.

Over the years I had sought out Yoga classes, massage therapy and acupuncture as a way to relieve pain and crookedness that was created by my lifelong passion, riding and training horses. And although I enjoyed all of those activities I found that I would feel great for a day and then the aches, pains and stiffness would be back. What I learned from Rolfing is that through physical manipulation of the muscle structures your body can go back to being straighter and your joints can move more freely almost like your joints have been greased by an oil can.

I have always tried to look for ways to improve my body without turning to quick fixes. It has been several months since completing the 10 series with Jim and I find myself not thinking about what aches today simply because my foundation is strong and I feel really great. With each session I could feel a better awareness for a straight, aligned body.

I highly recommend Jim Arkison if you are interested in improving your posture and the overall feel of your body. Although I have not needed any additional sessions I will continue to use Rolfing as a way to keep my body in the best possible condition so I can continue to ride horses for many years to come.
