What Clients Say

"In my mid-70’s, I had a series of injuries — knee, shoulder, back — preventing me from continuing activities necessary for living on an Alaska backcountry mountainside. Meghan helped me change my posture to take stress off joints and structure. For example, now I can throw firewood logs, when I couldn’t even lift them before. Her skill enables her to work deeply. For me, the change in posture has enabled not only body tissue healing, but a shift in attitude which is both physically and emotionally uplifting."

—Ben Shaine, McCarthy, Alaska

What is Rolfing®?

Rolfing® is the original fascial work, as Dr. Ida P. Rolf was the first person to recognize the importance of fascia and focus on it therapeutically. All bodyworkers who are talking about fascia are standing on her wise shoulders.

The basic idea is that Rolfers® recognize fascia, or connective tissue, as the fiber that creates the shape your body rests and moves in. It is a tensional system that needs to be balanced in relationship to both itself and the effects of gravity on your body (structure). Thus, Dr. Rolf called the work "Structural Integration." We are working with the connective tissue to integrate all parts into a balanced system, always thinking holistically. One of her basic tenets is: "the pain is not where the problem is." When I work with you I am thinking (and feeling) more broadly than where you tell me it hurts, so that we actually solve the problem where the primary imbalance exists so that the symptoms can dissolve and stay away.
