Welcome to Mountain Roots Rolfing® with Kelly Phillips

Rolfing is a manual therapy approach to organizing the body’s structure for better everyday functional movement and structural alignment. Throughout life we experience stress and injuries in many ways; from falls, accidents, car wrecks, surgeries, pregnancy, birth, emotional stress or our daily lives. When these stressors persist the body can become disorganized, creating seemingly stuck posture, movements or experiencing less range of motion and/or pain. Rolfing focuses on addressing the body as a whole; through the soft tissues, fascia, skeletal structure, and the nervous system to help people be more aware of their movements, space around them and discover ease in both posture and functional movement. When the body’s structure is aligned, it uses less energy and effort for movement and living within gravity. Muscles, joints and connective tissues, can all move and function with more ease. When the body is more organized this leads to less pain, tension, holding, more range of motion and allows the person to maintain daily life with more mental and bodily balance.

Rolfing is a powerful process lending a sense of freedom and expanse in one's body!
