Testimonials

I would highly recommend Joachim. It was my first experience with Rolfing (structural integration therapy) and he was informative, respectful, and produced great results. I went to him to improve my posture and back/shoulder pains, which was consistent and I would foam roll 2-3 times a day. After my 1st session my shoulder pain was relieved, and through the next 10 sessions I would see positive changes in how I walked, sat, and even breathed. There were significant improvements to aspects of my day-to-day that I didn't realize were a struggle and that I just learned to live with. I now have a better mind/body connection, my posture is proper (without strain), and my breath is no longer labored. The people around me have noticed a difference in the way I present myself, too. Overall, my experience was positive. Thank you Joachim!
I'm an avid golfer and years of hitting golf balls has taken its toll on my body. I was suffering from very specific pain and had tried everything, Chiropractor, Acupuncture, Cupping, PT and deep tissue massage. All to no avail. I saw Joachim for an initial session where he immediately diagnosed the misalignment in my body from repeatedly hitting golf balls. That session he gave me some instant relief that I hadn't gotten from other specialists. But it was the subsequent series of 10 sessions that have had a greater effect in helping me on the road to recovery. I highly recommend Joachim to anyone dealing with pain or loss of mobility. Life is too short to put up with it.
I love Joachim. Very down to earth and funny. We had fun together during my Rolfing series 10. With his help, he allowed my body to be able to walk upright again without pain. Prior to the series, I couldn't walk far without back pain and I couldn't exercise without back pain. I would constantly grab my back because of pain. Also, when I got on the treadmill, I only could walk, and I had to hunch over and hold the rails. After the series, I have been able to walk 4 miles more than once, jog again, and no longer need to walk hunched over on the treadmill or grab my back when I exercise. Investing in your health is always worth it!
There is a poetry that comes from Joachim's touch. Some how parts of my tender body have voice for the first time. Each new session surprises me as more of these lost voices join with my voice and begin to make themselves known. The portrait of a life that is painted in my movement changes. What emerges is a more loving and elegant me. I don't know how I could truly say thank you for such a profound gift.
Joachim is clearly an expert in his field. He is knowledgeable, efficient, and creates fast and profound results. I highly recommend him.
I began seeing Joachim earlier this past fall after 2.5 years of low back and SI joint pain due to a kettlebell injury. Prior to this I had spent hours doing physical therapy, and had multiple rounds of very expensive injections (cortisone, dextrose, Platelet rich plasma, and stem cells), all which provided benefit, but I was still not where I wanted to be. It's now been 12 weeks or so since I started the Rolfing 10 series and the benefits of each session have really carried over to further my recovery. My back has more flexibility, and less frequent and severe tension/burning/pain since my 10 series. I move better, feel like my muscles/fascia and aren't as "stuck" to my spine. Best of all, reducing this pain and discomfort has allowed me to reduce the mental piece of chronic pain, and I am less afraid to move in athletic ways that previously made my back spasm/tighten up. Joachim is a critical thinker, a good listener, kind, and very professional for body work that can be a little uncomfortable and intimate at times. His clinical skills are amazing (said as a healthcare provider myself)- he can assess the problems just by how you walk, and gets right to work on them. I would recommend him as an alternative care provider to anyone working through a musculoskeletal injury/imbalance. Thank you Joachim!
