Case Studies

J.C.

Before he was Rolfed, J.C. had a protruding stomach and stood hunched over. Significant improvement in these areas can be seen in the photographs. His mother states that he seems more in control of his movements and that, whereas he frequently complained of headaches before his Rolfing sessions, he never complains of them now. She also reports that there is a positive shift in J.C.’s self-image, as evidenced by the pictures.
