Bringing Your Body Into Alignment for Painfree Comfort & Healing
Rolfing® & Integrative Massage Therapy – Portland, Maine
More Ease of Movement
As the body releases restrictions in the fascial relationships and there is more integration in the system, range of motion increases with more ease.
Align Your Mind, Body and Spirit
Rolfing® is a holistic practice, we work on the physical body which allows resonance with your mind and spirit. As the body has more ease other layers of being improve.
Achieve Lasting Results
Rolfing® has the potential to create long lasting change even after the 10 series is complete. The work changes the structure which can continue to integrate and shift years after closure with only occasional tune ups needed.
You deserve to feel at ease & pain free in your body.
Whether you need to increase the speed of healing after surgery, have been dealing with a lifetime of discomfort, or want to alleviate temporary ailments, realignment through Rolfing® can support the body to find it’s natural integrity.

How is Rolfing® Different From Massage?
What is Rolfing®?
Rolfing is a manual therapy that works to restore ease and to create better alignment with the relationships within the system. We work with the connective tissue which includes fascia, ligaments, tendons, muscles and bone. The classic 10 series helps to realign the body in 10 sessions that work from superficial to deep and finally toward integration so the work may continue after you find completion. The goal is shifting patterns, finding realignment, more ease in movement and expanding toward one’s potential.
What is Integrative Massage?
“Massage is like dipping your hand into a river and changing the flow of the water for a period of time, but the water flow resumes its regular flow eventually. Rolfing is like dipping the hand into the river and moving the rocks around on the bottom, changing the flow of the river forever.”
RAY MCCALL
“Rolfing is permanent, as one student put it, after you’re Rolfed you’re like a Jaguar. No matter how long you drive a Jaguar, it’s not going to turn into a Ford. That’s a very good emotional answer. It’s good because it appeals to all levels.”
