Karen S Price

I avoided the idea of Rolfing for decades because I had heard it hurt too much. Well, Karen is very gentle and I experienced no pain. Karen is a gifted practitioner who can find the problems in your body. I’ve had sacral cranial massage, sports massage, and physical therapy for my injuries. Nothing really helped until I saw Karen. I was so impressed with her skills, I have taken my 3 children to see her. She has helped one child with his growing pains, helped another with injuries, and a third with his growth. I wouldn’t have believed rolfing and Karen could have done this much for me and my children. I’m so glad she is in Palo Alto and so happy to have her helping my family.

Karen rolfed me 6 years ago for a horrible plane injury. I had L4/​L5 plus sciatic pain.
It took only 10 sessions. Karen has a saying,“I am taking pain OUT of your body-​not placing it in your body. breathe into the pain as it is releasing.’ IT WORKED and I am still pain free because of her without meds and no operating. I sent my ballerina daughter to see her at age 9. Remarkable. She realigns my daughter to this day. She is 15 and dances with the, Colburn Conservatory. She did train with SFB. Ballet is a highly athletic skill. My daughter’s balance and strength is assisted greatly by Karen’s gift for realignment. I send many clients to her and all have thanked me! Beyond that Karenis a light on the planet and a gift to humanity. We call her an angel.

I started seeing Karen for Rolfing sessions when I was 8 years old for a slight curve in my spine that she corrected. 20 years later, I still make it a priority to see her for a session whenever I am in the Bay Area. She has helped me through numerous injuries including whip lash from car accidents and sprains, fractures, and tendon problems from sports injuries. She has also corrected orthodontic issues and has helped me through growing pains, illnesses and even improved my sinus problems. She continues to help me with stress relief (goodbye aches and pains in shoulders, neck and back) and posture. Saying she is an expert in her field is an understatement. I always leave her office feeling like a new person in body, mind and soul. She is an incredibly kind, caring, open person and she creates a very safe space in which one can heal. I cannot recommend her services highly enough.

My kids first started seeing Karen about 5 years ago. My son had poor posture and tics, and Rolfing not only helped eliminate those, but resulted in better growth. He was around 30^th or 40^th percentile on the growth charts, but after finishing his first series of Rolfing, he moved to the 80^th percentile, and has stayed there even 5 years later. Whenever my children had any injuries with recurring pain, they felt much better after Rolfing. After seeing what Rolfing did for my children, I also started seeing Karen for chronic injuries, which improved a lot after my sessions. Karen also has a very calming influence. With my eldest son, even though he didn’t have anything physically bothering him, I would take him to get Rolfed because it helped with his anxiety. The tension from the anxiety and his emotions would manifest in his body, and once the tension was Rolfed, it seemed to help his mental state as well. I highly recommend Karen for both children and adults.

People say rolfing hurts too much, but that wasn’t my experience at all. I am always amazed after I see her because of how different I feel afterwards. The benefits of a massage don’t even come close to the results of rolfing.
