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!!”

What does Rolfing have to do with emotions?
Getting Rolfed often arouses emotional responses in clients that can be mild and practically unnoticeable as well as strong and cathartic. Changes in the body, through various neurobiological mechanisms, affect the functioning of the brain, with particular effect on the regions associated with emotions and feelings. The result is that clients often report feeling happier, uplifted, and more stable. [Read more…]

Leon Fleisher is a world-renowned pianist and conductor whose career hit an abrupt and stunning roadblock when his right hand stopped working.
