What my clients say…
Here are some real, live unsolicited testimonials. Some I jotted down as clients shared their experiences. Others emailed me after sessions and gave me permission to use their words. There have been hundreds more over the years.
“I felt like a kid the next day; my joints felt like they had been oiled. It was like everything was connected instead of everything being dragged around. I also slept better than ever.” CP, Musician, antique dealer
“You are the only person who gets rid of my migraines!” SD, (I can’t remember her profession!)
“My previously weak and funky right knee continues to be 95% pain free and functional – and I haven’t been exactly babying it the last few days (1.5 hours of hardcourt tennis drills + two gym workouts). I’m still in a state of shock about the immediate relief. I didn’t realize how much it was bothering me on a daily basis…literally every time I got up and walked it affected me…since summer 2012. Now it feels kind of strange not to be constantly aware of it and always trying to protect it. I can most accurately and intelligently describe my feelings on this with one word: yippee!”

“After the 1st session I felt longer and more upright.” JH, Software designer
“The change in my breathing has been like night and day, absolutely like night and day.” SJ, Owner of cleaning business
“I just felt light, like I wasn’t touching the ground when I was walking. My movement felt more fluid.” RS, Restaurateur
“Mark is really a master of this art. I noticed many health benefits after completing the 10 series – two specific ones come to mind. First, I always had a hard time turning around to look out the rear window when backing up in my car. After rolfing, I was surprised to notice that I could easily turn around. Second, one of my thighs was a lot smaller than the other. I thought this was the result of an injury that occurred years earlier, but Mark said it was actually a common phenomenon. After the rolfing series, my legs looked the same – I always thought it was some kind of permanent damage but turns out it wasn’t. I highly recommend Mark (and it’s true, rolfing doesn’t hurt – on the contrary, it feels great).”

“You are God! For the first time in 20 years my neck doesn’t hurt!” DH (he does something high tech and computery that I don't understand)
“My doctor said I’ve put on an inch and a third in height. He couldn’t understand how it could have happened. I told him: Rolfing.” JD, Hair salon owner
“The last session was incredible. Ever since then I’ve felt my whole body starting to change and readjust. It also created space for a lot of emotions to come up, a lot of inner-child stuff.” TB, retired
“I just came back from my first Rolfing appointment and wanted to share the experience with you, in case it’s relevant for yourself or someone you know. My first session was one hour long and afterward I was able to walk more comfortably, I could actually feel my posture was different as I walked. I always heard that Rolfing was a therapy you were glad when it was over, uncomfortable, painful even; that was always intimidating for me. Rather, today’s session was very deliberate, specific, and he worked only to a depth that was therapeutic to me, not beyond. Mark Powell has been a Rolfer for 13 years and I can’t say enough about his professionalism, his accuracy, and his therapeutic efficacy. I’ll be scheduling a series of sessions with him and would be happy to keep you informed about the process if you’re curious. In case you or someone you know are looking for a body therapy to address physical issues, I am happy to recommend him. His web site is: www.rolfing-center.com/ It’s interesting work to be aware of.”
