Larry Dossey, MD, best-selling author: There is one major reason to take Rolfing® seriously: it works. Not only can it dramatically change peoples bodies, it can transform their lives as well. Rolfing is powerful stuff.

Jim Montgomery, MD, an orthopedic surgeon in Dallas, Texas, often refers his clients to Rolfing. I send a variety of my clients to a Certified Advanced Rolfer, Nicholas French. People with shoulder and elbow problems, with scar tissue resulting from injury or surgery, chronic hamstring problems, low back and cervical spine problems. People that have had chronic problems that have not been helped by anything else. All those people can be helped with Rolfing.

Karlis Ullis, MD, (team physician for 1992 summer Olympics), Sports Medicine and Anti-Aging Medical Group in Santa Monica, CA: Athletes always need help with chronic injuries, muscular strains and overuse. The Olympic athletes wouldnt have as many injuries if they had appropriate soft tissue therapy.

Certified Advanced Rolfer and MD, Dr. Bret Nye, speaks about ative/complementary medicine, a cost effective, alternative to surgery and drugs Demand for the services of health practitioners like Roofers is growing as evidenced by the Nov. 98 JAMA estimate of $21.2 billion being spent for alternative medicine in 97. Integrative health care, is a new trend, that combines Western and complementary medicines to offer the best technological advances in health care. Health insurance companies are increasingly becoming interested in therapies like Rolfing not only as potential cost effective alternatives or complements to traditional modalities, but as opportunities to provide coverage for services that will distinguish them in an increasingly competitive market place of providers.
