Testimonials

“A lifetime spent landscaping, trail building and massive amounts of outdoor rec. has taken its toll on my body. I have had low back, shoulder, ankle and knee injuries at one time or another that have now become chronic. Low back pain has been a consistent friend for 40 years. I have turned to physical therapy and chiropractic to deal with these injuries. The results have been mixed to good but care has been pretty continual to maintain that level.

To improve function for my aging body I felt like I needed to try something different so I signed up for a 10s series with Katie. I couldn’t be happier with her care or the results. Her care was professional and kind. She is very skilled at adjusting body parts gently and has a knack for finding the root of a problem quickly.

The results were equally impressive. In my case, Katie was addressing chronic pain or weakness which has reduced significantly or disappeared. In addition, I have experienced significant improvement in balance and function. Exercise and dance feel easier and I feel far less injury prone. By looking at total body function Katie was able to change my biomechanics. Every day I notice small changes that make me happy. My only regret is that I didn’t find this care earlier in my life.”

“As a massage therapist I am critical of the bodywork done on me. Katie had a good intuition that allowed her to apply just the right amount of pressure to make changes in my body without discomfort to me. I always got off the table feeling like I had more space in and around my muscles. If anything ever felt off after the work, Katie would make additional small adjustments based on my movement patterns. My biggest takeaway from her work is the improvement to my gait. Months later I am still walking better than I have for years. Katie has great attention to detail and made the Rolfing experience both relaxing and comfortable. “
