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:

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.
