Testimonials at Ask Dr. Stoll
Discussion threads at askwaltstollmd.com have some great testimonials about Rolfing.
Rolfing-COST Testimonial excerpt: “After my first Rolfing treatment, I had a wonderful night’s sleep. My hip pain level was down about 80% and I didn’t wake up every 20-60 minutes to turn over, like I normally do… I grew almost an inch in a few days, which made me only an inch shorter than I thought I was, rather than 2 inches shorter!
My second treatment was also extremely beneficial. I’ve had sore feet off and on for years and have had severe heel pain since last summer. He worked on my feet first and the relief was immediate!!”

Can You Share Your Cellulite with Me?
It seems researchers discovered that subcutaneous fat might be a good thing. “Even more surprising, it wasn’t that abdominal fat was exerting negative effects, but that subcutaneous fat was producing a good effect, ” Professor Ronald Khan.
As a Rolfer, I am in the process on conducting a pilot study on reducing cellulite for women. I do believe there are multiple causes of cellulite that can be affected through Rolfing and other holistic treatments. I also believe that as a culture we have become obsessed with having the perfect body. Being healthy produces a attractive body that is sustainable . The secret to Rolfing’s affect on reducing cellulite is it reduces the stress of the body while increasing the tissue’s circulation.
You might not be able to share your cellulite with me, but you can reduce your visceral (abdominal) fat and cellulite (subcutaneous) fat to be and look healthy.
Mind-body medicine: Why is it so hard to believe?
The Rolfing community, as well as many other complementary therapy communities, has long claimed that the health of the mind and of the body are inextricably linked. To many people raised in the western world, that has been considered a laughable and downright absurd proposition best left to the gullible and uneducated for consumption. Dualism – the idea that the mind and body are totally separate and that the body has no effect on the mind – has simply been too ingrained as a fundamental philosophical tenet for fruitful discussion to occur. But change has occurred and western medicine is now recognizing monism as a functional and useful reality.
Coming to Rolfing: Matt
I have always been skeptical by nature. I think skepticism is healthy, and that’one of the reasons I created this site is to help people skeptical about structural integration get better answers to their questions. When I first heard about Rolfing® Structural Integration, I liked what I heard about the goals, but I couldn’t believe the expense. The price tag set alarm bells off in my head, especially with all the unsubstantiated and unprovable claims I was reading all over the internet. It sounded like extremely expensive voodoo.
