Gravity Rolfing

Ellie is an amazing healer /​Rolfer. For years I struggled with a lower back problem that was so severe I couldn’t walk for days at a time. I saw doctors, chiropractors, massage therapists, physical therapists… Multiple doctors actually wanted to operate on my back! When I finally tried Rolfing I not only nearly eradicated the pain in the short term, but I also learned a tremendous amount about my body, how the different components work together, and how to keep that pain from coming back. This educational component is one thing that makes Rolfing special. Ellie has a gift in healing, in teaching, and in Rolfing, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to heal, to learn about their bodies, or both.

Ellie Childs, Certified Rolfer, was able to facilitate healing for me and my body in a way few modalities could. After 13 months of chronic pain from a herniated disc in L5-​S1 that left me unable to work and miserable I had the opportunity to work with Ellie through an entire 10-​session while she resided in New York City for a residency back in 2014. She is a natural healer and her practical, no-​nonsense, intuitive approach to her Rolfing practice became obvious within minutes of our first session. She gave me a lot of insight on my gait, posture, history of injury, and offered ways to think about alignment that I use as tools to stay in front of pain to this day. I firmly believe that my 10-​session with Ellie was the key to a more pain free and happy life. I can now say that I wake up ready to start my day, striving to live life in front of pain with better structural alignment and a higher quality of life.
