Once I received the recommendation to surgically pin my pelvis into alignment, a friend and physician introduced me to Rolfing. It was a final step in a long journey through Physical Therapy, Chiropractic, and allopathic medicine, to try to alleviate my own debilitating pain. After more than a decade as a federal wildland firefighter, my body suffered from multiple overuse injuries that had been exacerbated by three pregnancies and post-partum complications. I found myself—a lifelong athlete—unable to move without severe pain.
To say the Rolfing experience was life changing would be an understatement. Not only did working through the 10-series resolve my acute pain and dysfunction, but my overall outlook on life was transformed. I was able to show up for myself, and those around me, more fully and with more capacity.
