Thanks for the help!
Good Job.
Michael Solberg SAVED my life!!!!!
He introduced me to Structural Integration and he, with it, saved my life.
After a knee injury and surgery, I had retired from my active life and accepted
being inactive and fat and depressed. Today I am
a finely Rolfed specimen or "Junkie" as we like to call ourselves. I am fit
and active and most days I would never know that I had been injured at all.
My knee is 99% healthy!!!! I Live Strong everyday thanks to Michael Solberg
and his Rolfing. Thank you Michael Solberg for saving my life!!!!!!
Structural Integration -
sounds like an engineering term, but it is really an unbelievable approach
to wellness.
I tell my friends that Michael is my Far East Healer. My relationship with
Michael goes way beyond that of Rolfer and Patient. Not only does he
regularly bring resolution to my deep seated chronic sports injuries, but I
am able to count on him as a key resource for my wife/kids, as well as for
many of my clients who are often in need of relief from nagging physical
issues.
Michael Solberg’s care of
me has been at the highest professional level.
I am convinced that it has, and will, continue to prolong my active athletic
life through increased flexibility and less pain. I could not be happier
with my Rolfing experience and with Michael.
As an athlete with
chronic pain from scoliosis and sports injuries, to the point of severely
limited mobility, I have been re-mobilized by Rolfing.
It
I recently went through 10
sessions of Structural Integration with Michael Solberg.
When I began the sessions I had severe lower back pain. In the mornings I
could hardly get out of bed and to take my first steps felt like a knife was
going into my back. I had been suffering for almost 2 years. During that
time I had seen many different doctors including going to the Texas Back
Institute for several months. At the Texas Back Institute I had many rounds
of decompression therapy, physical therapy, and Cortisone injections. None
of this helped! After seeing Michael for the 10 sessions I am happy to say
that I now live with very little pain. I am able to wake up feeling rested
and return to most of my daily activities that I hadn't been able to endure
before. I also have a 2 yr old daughter and once again I can play with her
and pick her up mostly without any pain. I've also began to exercise more
and take up jogging. I feel pretty good these days. Cheers Michael!!! Thank
you for helping me!
I am 20 now, and I have
been seeing Michael for the last 8 years.
I first came to him
because I had very flat feet and had been having sharp pains in my heels
while I was playing football in middle school. I did the ten sessions
Michael recommended, and as I went through them, I started noticing huge
differences in the way I felt and the way I walked. Part of the way through,
I noticed that my heel pain was gradually disappearing! At my most recent
session, I was just telling Michael how happy I am that I still have the
arches he worked on so long ago. I am so grateful for the work Michael has
done on me over the years, particularly because I started young and was able
to grow into a healthy and balanced structure. He helped me at the most
crucial time, when I was at a very awkward stage of development. After the
heels, I also had severe knee and hip pain when I ran during high school,
and Michael’s work has brought me to the point now where I can run and play
sports without any pain in my legs. Even more important, my body feels
generally more relaxed and at ease than before. I highly recommend Michael’s
Rolf Method of Structural Integration and I encourage you to start while
you’re young if you can: it will not disappoint.
I suffered for several
years from chronic, and often debilitating, headaches and muscle knots from
between my shoulder blades resulting from a swimming pool accident in 1995.
Sitting or sleeping
in not quite the right position would often lead to days of painful misery
to the point of nausea.
I was having some twinges
and pain in my knees from running and those have improved greatly or
disappeared. I
noticed a difference with each session. After each session I feel lighter,
relaxed, more fluid in my movements and my feet feel more in contact with
the floor. I gained an inch after my ten series.
I had tried everything to
help me be flexible for my high school dance and drill team.
Nothing worked, until I tried
Rolfing, which my Mom had been using. Michael knows every muscle and tendon
of the body and helped me gain flexibility, as well as learning to treat my
body better.
I am a local minister who
has enjoyed athletics all my life.
While training for the White Rock Marathon in late 2000, I developed a
problem in both of my feet. It started with numbness and then finally a "hot
spot" near my toes. After laying off for months at a time with no healing, I
finally saw an orthopedic specialist. He recognized that I ran on the
outside of my feet and had 'worn out the fat pads', leaving me running on
skin and bones. We tried custom orthotics and more time, but eventually I
had to accept that these pains were not going to go away. I resigned myself
to swimming but always dreamed of being able to run, even willing to give up
the idea of running competitively in marathons just to enjoy a five to eight
mile run.
For more than five years, I
have been attending structural integration sessions with Michael including
the ten session series and then quarterly sessions.
With each session I see and experience a re-alignment of my body resulting
in sitting and walking straighter, more capacity of oxygen intake expanding
my resistance training and minimizing muscle injury during weight training.
I first received work from
Michael Solberg 14 years ago.
At the time, I was an aspiring professional quarterback looking to resolve
some typical elbow and arm related issues. It would be impossible to
describe all that Michael has done for me since we first met and how he has
dramatically changed my life. My understanding and appreciation for Rolfing
has grown so much over the years. Even now, I am humbled by what Michael is
able to do to help me. I no longer hurt or ache, but will continue Rolfing
as a preventative measure. If you are new to Rolfing, then there is probably
no way to comprehend what you have found. I would encourage anyone who is
being Rolfed not to stop after your initial issue has been resolved. You are
just scratching the surface of something far deeper.
I recently went through 10
sessions of Structural Integration with Virginia Solberg.
I can never forget on my 1st session with Virginia, she asked me to stand up
and walk around in the room to inspect my posture. Unfortunately, I couldn’t
stand for more than 2 minutes without having an abnormal amount of pain as I
stood and walked; I had to ask to sit back down and continue to review what
had occurred thru my journey of all the attempts to correct my back issues
of the last 2 ½ years. Today, I can unequivocally say without reservation
that Virginia’s precious treatment has given me an opportunity to resume
doing Tai Chi (8 different forms), Weekly Aerobics classes, Stretching and
Daily Walking. I’m not totally 100% from my back issues, but I’m light years
ahead from where I was 2 ½ years ago. I’m very thankful to you Virginia! |
