Introduction
Robert is a chiropractor and a certified
Rolfer® who specializes in
relieving the pain, tension, and disability of musculoskelatal complaints. He works
mainly with his hands and successfully treats most common acute and chronic
conditions including:
|
* Low back pain
* Sciatica
* Neck pain
* Jaw pain
|
* Headaches
* Wrist & arm pain
* Leg, ankle, and foot pain
* Many other musculoskeletal conditions
|
His expertise is in his understanding and sensitivity to
the interplay of joint restrictions, muscle tension, fascial shortening and
twisting, energetic and emotional factors, and habits of posture and movement
which are contributory to most complaints. His work is eclectic and is in a
spectrum from gross to subtle and mechanical to intuitive.
The initial focus is on the site of the pain and the
immediate involved structural imbalances. However, usually, much of the problem
is not where the pain is. So, with a holistic perspective, he then explores,
releases, and balances the other involved factors.
He draws on a tool box of techniques from years of experience, which
includes chiropractic (many techniques), Rolfing, other forms of myofascial release
(trigger point, Active Release, John Barnes), muscle energy,
stretching, and home programs.
He works in a co-operative manner with his client's, teaching them how to work with
him and on their own.
To get deeper and longer lasting benefits clients are
encouraged to partake of
a series of Rolfing sessions to not only address the contributory factors of
their complaints but to bring their bodies to higher level of balance,
integration, and enjoyable function.
