“Of all the forces affecting the human body, the gravity is among the most powerful. We want to get a person out of the place where the gravity is their enemy. We want to get them into the place where the gravity reinforce them and is a friend, a nourishing force.” Dr. Ida Rolf

Named after its founder, Dr. Ida P. Rolf, Rolfing Structural Integration is a form of bodywork that reorganizes the connective tissues, called fascia, that permeate the entire body.

More than fifty years ago, Dr. Rolf recognized that the body is inherently a system of seamless networks of tissues rather than a collection of separate parts. These connective tissues surround, support and penetrate all of the muscles, bones, nerves and organs. Rolfing® Structural Integration works on this web-like complex of connective tissues to release, realign and balance the whole body, thus potentially resolving discomfort, reducing

Testimonials

Initiated by a chronic neck issue I decided to get the full Rolfing treatment from Joachim. I have experienced far more positive results than I expected. I stand more solidly, jog and walk with a total different and easier stride and have almost solved the chronic issue. Joachim's knowledge of musculature is remarkable as is his skill and technique. He utilizes his wide breadth of knowledge and his passion to make things right to work to positive outcomes. The experience is different than massage but the result is awesome. As I continue to age, he will help me keep active, comfortable and in great alignment.
Joachim worked with me on the full 10 sessions in the Rolfing series plus 3 movement sessions. From our first to last meeting, I was impressed by his sensitivity and skill ability to determine what needed attention and to pick up on how I was doing. A month later, I am still enjoying and benefiting from the growing body awareness I have as a result of my very special Rolfing experience with Joachim.
My husband and I have seen Joachim about three times now. We drive 21/2 hours to do this and has proven to be worth every minute. Joachim has helped both of us immensely. My husband has chronic low back pain which has shown marked improvement since his treatments with Joachim. Personally I am now able to run again! Prior to seeing Joachim, I was experiencing immediate tightness and restrictions in my hips, hamstrings when running. Joachim's knowledge and expertise approach is a rare find in the body work field.
I had been training for a half marathon to celebrate my 60th birthday and had chronic pain in my legs. This was a message to me that I needed bodywork as I am a massage therapist myself. Joachim observed my walk and from there began the most effective massage I have experienced. He draws on his extensive skills to customize your session to meet your needs. I had no pain at the end of the session and successfully completed my Half Marathon three days later.Thank you so much.
As a professional cyclist - body work is a must have, and good body work on the road can be hard to come by. But it turns out that Santa Ynez not only has great roads for riding, there is a fantastic massage therapist there too. I visited Joachim while on a recent training trip in SYV and had a great deep tissue session. I strongly recommend him for athletes and i will definitely be back to see him next time i am in the Valley
