Ben is a Certified Rolfer™. He has been obsessed with movement ever since he was young. At the age of thirteen he got involved in yoga and competitive rock climbing. Over the years he has explored dance, skiing, paragliding, trail running, gymnastics, and most recently the work of Ido Portal and movement culture as a whole. Naturally this love of physical expression had its fair share of injuries, which led him to try Rolfing Structural Integration for the first time in 2018.

          Since graduating from the The Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® in March of 2020, Ben has been exploring the synergy of manual therapy and healthy movement practices. He has continued weaving in practices such as neurovascular release, authentic relating, and strength/mobility training with the goals of longevity and exploration of the somatic human experience. He is excited and intrigued by the uniqueness of each human experience, and continues to explore the expressions of pain, movement, posture, healing, and identity through the lenses of manual therapy and music.

Testimonials



"Rolfing® with Ben was a game changer for me. I work a lot and stay very busy so taking the time to commit to the 10 series was a bit of a stretch. I'm so glad I did! Ben helped me release layers of old tension that I was not fully aware I was holding onto. As a result, I'm feeling more at ease in my body and in the world. Ben did a great job of bringing me to my edge in a way that felt really good and also safe. I highly recommend!"

-Suzanne Spiegel



“I had fabulous results from my 13-Series with Ben.  He helped me feel better every session. I sustained some injuries during sports and auto accidents and had given quite a few modalities fair shots. I wanted to see if Rolfing could help my TMJ, neck, and hips, and it did! Ben helped me release a lot of tension all over my body.  My hamstrings, hips, and back feel much more flexible.  My body, especially my back, feels more capable. I will admit that I was concerned that I might be tortured, but he always checked to ensure that I was okay and often adjusted his technique.  A lot of the work was therapeutic and actually felt really really good.  I would highly recommend working with him!  He's very professional, sincere, and has a great sense of humor.”

What to Expect

 Rolfing is a highly personalized form of bodywork aimed at structural change. This means that the work focuses on relationships within the body, over individual structures. While relaxation is an important part of the therapeutic process, Rolfing is focused much more on helping the client discover new possibilities of posture and movement. It is a collaborative process in which the practitioner guides the client through a deep examination of the nature of their relationship with their own body and habitual movement patterns. This is done through a combination of hands on manual therapy, hands off movement queues, and honest conversation about the client’s lived experience. What is it like to be you, in your unique body?

Clients are consistently asked to check in, instead of checking out. This may be anywhere in the spectrum of simply checking in with internal sensation, to getting up from the table and moving around. As for the hands on manual therapy, clients often describe the sensation as deep, satisfying pressure.

What to wear

Client comfort and safety is of the utmost importance. Please dress to your comfort level, and we will work there. 

With this in mind, the predominant portion of sessions consist of hands on manual therapy. It is recommended that clients wear attire that provides a high level of access to skin. For women, this may look like sports bras, camisoles, and athletic shorts or briefs. For men, this may look like boxer briefs, briefs, or athletic shorts.
