"Rolfing
has
been
stretching
out
muscle
fibers
that
haven’t
been
stretched
for
30
years.
When
I
started,
my
muscle
fibers
felt
like
petrified
rock.
Now
they
are
getting
progressively
softer,
more
supple
and
gaining
elasticity."

"The
Rolfer
works
on
fascia
which
is
the
thin
sheath
of
white
tissue
that
covers
the
musculature.
By
manipulating
the
fascia
you
manipulate
the
musculature,
and
in
turn
the
skeletal
structure,
so
you
bring
alignment
to
the
body...
It
can
be
very
healing,
cleansing
and
balancing
for
the
body."

 Five
years
ago,
I
gave
myself
a
rolfing
session
for
my
birthday.
I
had
a
summary
knowledge
of
what
rolfing
was--but
I
wanted
to
experience
it.
I
didn't
have
a
particular
health
problem.
In
fact,
I
was,
and
continue
to
be,
in
good
health.
My
goal
was
to
keep
it
that
way.
After
the
first
session
with
Richard
Merbler,
I
was
amazed
at
how
I
felt.
I
decided
to
go
for
the
full
course
of
rolfing!
Looking
back,
I
believe
that
meeting
Richard
was
my
good
fortune
and
getting
Rolfed
was
one
of
the
most
rewarding
and
intelligent
choices
I've
ever
made.
Rolfing
didn't
just
help
me
maintain
health:
it
restored
me!
I
felt
lighter,
stronger,
more
aligned.
And
the
results
of
rolfing
have
stayed
with
me.
There's
talk
about
the
connection
between
mind,
body
and
spirit.
Although
words
can't
really
describe
my
rolfing
experience,
I
can
tell
you
that
the
changes
I
noticed
on
the
physical
level
migrated
to
the
other
levels.
With
more
and
sustained
energy,
I
felt
"spirited"
and
was
generally
more
creative
and
productive
in
all
areas
of
my
life:
my
work,
my
writing,
my taiji,
and
my
relationships.
Instead
of
sagging
from
the
accumulated
stresses
of
the
human
condition
called
"life,"
I
soared
with
a
higher
range
of
energy,
clarity,
balance
and
agility.
Richard
is a
true
healer.
I go
to
him
periodically
now
for
massages
and
"energy
charges"
to
counter
things
like
extended
work
at
the
computer
or
long
trips
to
Asia!
So
if
the
gift
of
health
sounds
good...I
recommend
that
you
go
to
see
Richard
Merbler...and
"BE
GOOD
TO
YOURSELF."

Rolfing
and
Structural
Integration
----sometimes
referred
to
as
myofascial
release,
rolfing
massage
or
massage
rolfing,
is a
process
of
manipulating
soft
tissue
which
has
trapped
and
pinched
surrounding
nerves,
muscles,
bones,
blood
vessels
and
organs.
These
restrictions
result
in
discomfort
and
pain
and
a
reduction
in
overall
flexibility.
Rolfing
unties
the
deep
knots
in
your
body
which
cause
chronic
pain-like
back
pain.
Experience
how
Rolfing
and
Structural
Integration
can
help
you
with
your
athletic,
artistic,
and
everyday
performance. |

Ralph
Zuranski,
Health
Research
Consultant,
Garland,
TX |
|
 My
name
is
Ralph
Zuranski.
I
have
had
health
problems
most
of
my
life...specifically
a
bad
back.
I
tried
everything,
including
rolfing
and
postural
integration
when
I
lived
in
San
Diego
and
was
in
charge
of
health
research
program
for
a
chain
of
health
spas.
These
therapies
really
helped
my
back
pain.
After
moving
to
Dallas
four
years
ago,
my
back
started
hurting
again
after
two
car
accidents
and
getting
hit
by a
elevator
door
that
closed
on
me
prematurely.
Richard
Merbler
was
an
incredible
find.
He
helped
me
regain
my
health
and
helped
tremendously
with
the
pain
I
experienced
during
my
recovery.
Richard
is
the
best
Rolfer
I
have
ever
found.
If
you
are
sick
and
tired
of
being
in
pain,
call
Richard.
Not
only
is
he a
great
Rolfer
but
one
of
the
finest
human
beings
I
ever
have
had
the
good
fortune
to
meet.

Andrew
Weil M. D. - recognized authority on alternative medicine- says Rolfing can be a
great way to get more in touch with your body - and change long-standing
problems of bad posture and chronic pain ( like back pain ). Rolfing
can also release repressed emotions as well as diminish habitual muscle tension.
If you want to make some kind of change in your life and work on your body, try
Rolfing.

Beth
Biesel,
Full
Time
Mom |
|
 My
name
is
Beth
Biesel.
I’m
a
full
time
wife
and
mother
and
outdoor
enthusiast.
Unfortunately
I
was
hindered
in
everything
I
did
because
of
chronic
pain
in
the
form
of
muscles
spasms,
tension
knots,
migraines,
and
general
muscle
strain
that
dogged
me
all
the
time.
Until
I
was
introduced
to
Rolfing,
I
had
spent
untold
numbers
of
hours
and
dollars
with
all
kinds
of
practitioners.
They
all
promised
great
results,
but
none
delivered.
Richard
didn’t
promise
anything,
but
said
he’d
take
a
look
and
see
if
he
could
help
me.
The
first
visit
produced
such
dramatic
relief
that
my
husband
sent
me
to
see
Richard
twice
a
week
rather
than
once!
Richard
is a
professional
of
the
highest
integrity
with
a
skill
far
and
above
anything
I’ve
ever
seen.
I’m
so
impressed
with
and
thankful
for
Richard’s
work..
My
husband
is
so
thankful
because
I am
no
longer
spending
tons
of
money
on
ineffective
therapy
and
I
don’t
beg
for
massages
every
night.

Ron

Graphic

 I am
Ron
Williams.
I am
a
self
employed
graphic
artist
and
single
parent
to
my
granddaughter.
I
have
a
lot
of
stress
in
my
life.
I
have
been
going
to
Richard
for
a
number
of
years.
He
is
an
excellent
rolfer.
With
stress
being
a
big
factor
in
my
life,
I
frequently
have
issues
with
my
back
that
are
quite
painful.
Richard
has
been
able
to
reverse
severe
back
spasms
and
realign
my
back
and
adjacent
areas
so
that
the
spasms
have
all
but
ceased.
He
has
helped
me
with
my
neck
also.
I
undertook
Richard's
series
of
sessions
geared
to
realign
the
whole
body.
At
the
end,
I
felt
younger
and
I
regained
a
fluidity
of
movement
that
I
hadn't
experienced
in
years.
Additionally,
I
have
found
Richard's
knowledgeable
approach
often
can
correct
problems
eliminating
the
need
to
resort
to
more
invasive,
traditional
medical
solutions.

The
old
song
'leg
bone
connected
to
the
hip
bone'
never
had
more
meaning.
It's
all
connected
and
this
means
that
your
back
pain
could
be
resulting
from
your
old
knee
injury
and
sprained
ankle
from
10
years
ago.
This
is
why
Rolfing
and
Structural
Integration
is a
powerful
and
successful
process.
It
goes
to
the
root
of
the
problem
and
doesn't
just
chase
around
symptomatic
pain. |

My home town

Richard was
a
significant
enhancement
to my back
condition
and
corrected a
great
portion of
it with his
Rolfing
capabilities.
He was the
third Rolfer
I've seen
and the best
of all
three. He
works with a
Chiropractor
and physical

and the
three of
them
together got
me well.

Tony
Sager |

Hi! My name
is Tony
Sager and I
am 47 years
old. I was
referred to
Richard
Merbler from
a Therapist
who was
baffled at
the
frequency
and severity
of my
shoulder
stiffness. I
had been
having
trouble with
the right
shoulder
stiffening
for over 10
years. I had
resigned
myself to
constant
pain and
permanent
disability.
I researched
Rolfing over
the Internet
and when I
visited
Richard I
was
open-minded
but
doubtful.
After 4-5
visits
Richard and
I both were
seeing
little
progress and
spoke of
surgical
options.
During the
next visit
Richard
applied an
unusual
technique
underneath
my shoulder
blade and
announced to
me that he
seemed to
find the
root of my
stiffness.
Richard
proclaimed
that the
origin of
the problem
was in the
front of my
right hip.
Richard then
proceeded to
apply many
different
techniques
to my body.
Here is the
result: Not
only is
mobility and
strength
restored but
I can use
the shoulder
normally. I
sleep
through the
night on
either side
for the
first time
in 10 years.
I no longer
see Richard
on a weekly
basis. I
actually
have not had
an
appointment
in 3 months.
The shoulder
remains
strong and
pain free. I
am so amazed
that I will
be happy to
be an
example of a
rehabilitated
patient.
Every day I
spend pain
free I give
silent
thanks to
Richard
Merbler. I
recommend
his work,
personally.

I've
been
involved
in
sales
and
marketing
for
over
25
years
- a
heavy
domestic
and
international
air
travel
schedule
with
all
the
lifting
and
pulling
of
my
carry-on
bags.
A
stressful
corporate
environment
exacerbated
chronic
back
pain.
My
back
problems
started
some
years
before
when
my
car
was
destroyed
upon
being
hit
from
behind
by a
drunk
driver.
Traditional
and
chiropractic
solutions
were
tried
with
limited
success,
however
the
pain
was
back,
and
I
needed
help.
Richard
Merbler
suggested
we
try
Rolfing
and
candidly,
I
thought
the
whole
thing
a
bit
weird.
But
knowing
Richard
for
several
years
gave
me
confidence
in
him.
What
did
I
have
to
loose?
I
decided
to
give
Rolfing
with
Richard
a
shot.
I
will
never
forget
rushing
to
the
airport,
running
the
security
and
boarding
gauntlet
so
that
I
world
make
a
flight,
hoisting
all
my
gear
in
an
overhead
compartment,
sitting
down
in a
seat
and
feeling
8
feet
tall,
strong
and
free
after
my
5th
Rolfing
session.
Somehow
I
knew
that
something
had
happened
and
it
was
a
good
something.
Bottom
line-
IT
WORKED
!!!
5
years
latter
I
still
have
no
back
pain.
NONE
!!!
