Yoga at home.
I was hesitant to try Rolf Integration. I am a senior and wondered if I was too old to benefit. What to wear was a modesty concern for me and I had heard that it might be a painful or strange experience. I knew I had found the right practitioner when I met Christian. He assuaged me of all my concerns. Never too old, and there are many kinds of street clothes that can be worn during treatment. I was quite comfortable. The 10-series of Rolf Integration is one of the most significant gifts I have ever given myself. I experienced dramatic release of tension and I feel so much more comfortable in my body. This is powerful stuff and Christian is a masterful and painless practitioner.

The following pictures show actual clients before the 1st session of Structural Integration and after their 10th and final session. Before each, they were given the same instructions to stand as straight and tall as they can. Do you see differences in their postures?
The picture on the left was taken Before his first session. The picture on the right was taken after his third session (that's right, 3rd). This is a dramatic change, yet classic since the 3rd session open the sides.
Ten sessions of Structural Integration totally transformed this man's posture. He is taller, and straighter from head to toe. The dramatic change you see in his chest reflects openings in his upper-back spine.
This woman had pain in her left knee. Notice how the lower leg is not aligned with the upper leg. In the after picture, there is better alignment, and no pain. Notice also her shoulder levels, as well as her hip levels. Ten sessions of Structural Integration erased her knee pain by balancing the whole body, not just the source of pain.
This man looks thinner in his "after" picture. He didn't lose weight - he got taller. His spine has more length. Structural integration helped him find the natural "lift" that healthy bodies have.
This woman has scoliosis, which is when the spine curves like an "S". The different clothes make seeing harder, but compare the level of the shoulders, and also the level of the hips. She got a lot straighter, but most importantly she no longer has chronic pain.
Christian's work not only helped the pain from my scoliosis, it also improved and strengthened my posture.

This woman had good posture to start out with, yet it clearly improved after ten sessions of Structural Integration. The "after" picture shows greater alignment from head to toe with a longer lower back, flatter abdomen, and lifted chest. She's feelin' good.
