What is Rolfing®?
Rolfing® is the original fascial work, as Dr. Ida P. Rolf was the first person to recognize the importance of fascia and focus on it therapeutically. All bodyworkers who are talking about fascia are standing on her wise shoulders.
​
The basic idea is that Rolfers® recognize fascia, or connective tissue, as the fiber that creates the shape your body rests and moves in. It is a tension system that needs to be balanced in relationship to both itself the effects of gravity on your body (structure). Thus, Dr. Rolf called the work "Structural Integration." We are working with the connective tissue to integrate all parts into a balanced system, always thinking holistically. One of her basic tenets is: "the pain is not where the problem is." When I work with you I am thinking (and feeling) more broadly than that so that we actually solve the problem where the primary imbalance exists so that the symptoms can dissolve and stay away.

"Finding Meghan was a true blessing and gift for my body and mind since our introduction this spring. I've been an avid athlete, competitive trail racer and professional fisherman/boat captain most of my life until six years ago when I had a major show stopping injury. The following two years of surgeries and physical therapy I was left on my own and as far as general medicine was concerned "I was fixed". Unfortunately the amount of pain I was continuously suffering from placed me far from feeling healed. I've been struggling with a major SI problem, oddly a thing that no one in nearly five years could pinpoint. Due to the high activity in my profession it became all I could do just to "maintain function", let alone enjoy my time off in having an active lifestyle. I tried numerous Doctors, Rolfers, Chiropractors etc with no avail. Nothing worked, until I met Meghan. Her wisdom of the body and its healthy state of being is by far the best I have ever experienced. Through patience and guidance she was able to get me on track quite quickly. Being able to not just "rectify the immediate problem" but to educate me on what I can do physically and mentally to assist in my own recovery process was priceless. Meghan has brought me to a level where I have not been in more than six years, I am happy to say I am pain free. I definitely recommend Meghan to anyone looking to get their life back!"
