Art of Gravity Bodywork @ The Structural Wellness Center

Brian is a great healer and I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking for relief from chronic pain or muscle tightness, or for anyone who is looking to improve their overall health and posture.
I came to Brian looking to get rid of some tightness in my upper back, as well as some limited mobility and pain in my lower left back. Brian was a great resource from the start of session 1– not only in terms of providing measurable relief through his bodywork on a weekly basis, but also in terms of helping me to understand areas of weakness in my posture. After a few sessions, Brian helped to educate me on easy ways I could improve stability and balance on a daily basis – recommendations included yoga stretches, self-​massage tools, and even a new vertical mouse to ease tension on my back!
After just a few sessions, the giant knot in my back that had been there for years was gone, and I could see a measurable difference in how my body felt after working out– I had more mobility, as well as awareness as to how I could avoid falling back into old routines. After my 10 sessions, I can honestly say that many of my residue body aches and pains are no longer with me– plus I learned how to prevent them from returning!
I’m so happy I decided to check Brian out– he’s got a great personality, is fun and easy to work with, and one of the best holistic body work professionals I have ever met.

I came to Brian hoping for a bit of relief from a foot injury which had thrown my posture out of balance and led to recurrent ankle, knee, tendon and hip injuries as well as painful muscle tension which made walking and exercise difficult. I was expecting subtle change from Rolfing similar to what a good massage therapist or chiropractor might provide.
But this process was not subtle in any way — it was radical change for the better that I could track week by week in my mirror and feel in all my movements and activities.
Because of my age (early 70’s) I knew it was important to address these problems before compromised mobility led to all the physical nightmares and infirmities of old age. Brian has achieved this for me in a spectacular manner. It is not an overstatement to say he has changed my life and given me a sense of well-​being that the medical community was not even able to approach. I feel lucky to have encountered Brian and am grateful for the skill, art, and compassion that he has exhibited in working with me. Thank you, Brian!

I came to Brian with persistent hip and lower back pain that chiropractic work had failed to ease. I was unable to stretch, and walking, sitting and standing caused pain. By session 5 with Brian, I was much improved, and since session 8 I have been back to my regular running routine and am feeling great. Brian is fantastic to work with, and a pleasure to spend time with. He has an amazing intuitive understanding of the body’s alignment, and I recommend him highly.

My cousin had told me the wonders of rolfing for adjusting the body and suggested I find someone for dealing with the headaches and back pain I experience. I did try another Rolfer and wasn’t satisfied. My cousin convinced me to try one more time with another Rolfer. I decided to try Brian and what a difference! I can tell you that it is important that you find someone who you connect with and who listens.
I found that with Brian. He listens not only to what you have to say but what your body has to say when he is working on you. After only two treatments I have experienced fewer headaches and better sleep. I’m excited to see how my body responds to continued treatment. I’m hopeful that I may be able to run again, something I had to give up because of knee pain.
I’m going to get my husband in to see Brian so he can work on the wonky shoulder my husband has been complaining about for years. I have faith that if anyone can improve it, Brian can.

I’m a big guy. And, sorry, not all body-​work people are created equal. Brian is equal parts strength (which I need) and effort (which I appreciate.) He’s taking a holistic approach to my back and foot problems. Magic doesn’t happen overnight, but I feel we’re going places, and that’s a big part of the battle. The sessions are reasonably priced and quite long. I’ve tried various things for my own issues, and I’m glad I’m working with Brian at this time.

After many years of chronic pain in my neck, jaw, thoracic spine, hips and feet, I was fortunate enough to «find» Brian. While I have only had 3 sessions so far, I am thrilled with the results – including the fact I woke up without any pain this morning. I have tried many traditional (and non-​traditional) therapies to alleviate my pain. And while I always start
out optimistic about a new treatment, my body doesn’t always respond. Luckily, my body is telling me that I’ve finally found the therapy that it’s been needing for all these years. Thank you Brian… I am happy and grateful that your dedication to helping others has made such an impact on me… and I know it will only get better.
