"When I first heard about Rolfing I will admit I was very skeptical, but my first session made me a believer. For the last few years I have had an unexplained tightness in my chest preventing me from taking deep breaths. As a person like me who frequents the gym for cardio (5-7x/week) as well as taking kickboxing lessons and practicing yoga, this posed a problem for me.
After my 1st session with Jason Beickert, I stood up off the table and for the first time in years I was able to breathe deeply with no struggle. This change helped immensely with my workout routine. In my next session, Jason also helped to correct my life-long issue with flat feet by giving me a higher arch.
I was happily surprised to be able to throw away my orthotic shoe inserts and walk and workout comfortably without them. I have noticed so many differences in my body and general well being from Rolfing. I'm so happy that I found Jason. He's very professional, reassuring, and understanding to what your individual problems may be."

Having recently completed the 10 session Rolfing series with Jason, I can honestly say that my body and mind have made several profound changes. I’m stronger, straighter, healthier, and happier. My posture has greatly improved. My breathing is deeper and centering. My sense of self and the way I move, whether walking, sitting in a chair, driving, lifting, are all actions that I think about differently and execute with ease.
While exercise, stretching, and massage helped to keep me active and fit, I was ready for deeper work that would turn the key on some real change in my life. Having previously received weekly myofascial treatments with Jason I knew he had the intellect, skills, confidence, and intuition to take me to the next level on my path to wellness.
Jason’s focus, knowledge, and execution of techniques changed negative patterns in my body that held tension, kept me from breathing fully, and kept my muscles and blood from becoming fully oxygenated. Further restrictions inhibited my core structure from doing its job properly. Jason had a lot of structural work to do and to his credit he made great and lasting improvements. Each week positive changes took place and I was learning a lot.
The truth is I feel 20 years younger. My joints are no longer stiff in the morning. Range of motion has greatly improved. When I feel myself slouching I self-correct. My breathing is full and overall I’m a very happy person with a whole new sense of self-awareness. Did I mention I measured 1/2” taller post Rolfing?
Every individuals experience with Rolfing will be different then mine because we are all different and come into the treatment with our own stuff. Jason will work with you to help you make the wellness changes you so desire.
Thank you Jason for the gift of Rolfing. You are amazing!

I am a 46 year old female and work as a massage therapist. I also workout 6 times per week and my body takes a beating. I have a history of upper back and neck pain on and off for the past 10yrs, a history of daily glute pain, which is also felt in my lower leg with tingling down to my toes for the past 4 years and a history of hand and thumb pain for the last couple of years. I have seen medical doctors who have prescribed pain medications and muscle relaxants with no relief. I have seen several chiropractors with no relief, gone for acupuncture which did relieve the acute glute pain, but didn't take it away completely. I was beginning to really worry about my body and wonder if I would ever be without pain.
I have finished my 10 Rolfing sessions with Jason and I am at this moment pain free and have been for the past 3 weeks, each week feeling better. I have also gained a half inch in height according to my gynecologist medical records.
Jason is very professional, knowledgeable and makes you feel very comfortable during the whole treatment.
I fell in love with Rolfing from my first session. I went once a week with each time feeling better and better. I sleep so much happier, turning in bed is so much smoother, and I feel awesome! My posture feels perfect when I walk, stand or sit. I am able to do my workouts with less limitations and I am pain free during and after my work.
I highly recommend this type of bodywork for anyone who has lingering aches and pains. Plus I hear it’s healing in many other ways.
