Rolfing Works

I had Rolfing for the first time a few years ago, and love this bodywork modality and the results. Last September I suffered a shoulder injury sea kayaking near Cape Flattery. The joint was assessed by X-ray, and was a subluxation of my right shoulder. I did PT and was considering having a good sport massage therapist work it over, as it wasn't moving as it should, especially after a very short easy paddle on the lake mid-January. A sea kayaking friend, also a Rolfer in Seattle, suggested I get a Rolfing session for my shoulder. Yes, it is about double a massage therapist for a 75 minute session, but I felt it would be money well spent. I had my session with Russell at Rolfing Works on February 5, 2026. I let my shoulder "settle in" for 6 days and then paddled on Lake Whatcom

I started seeing Steph a little under a year ago for chronic pain issues due to an old injury and am so glad I did. My bi-monthly sessions have helped alleviate my pain and also increase my mobility--something I haven't found through traditional massage therapy. Steph not only has an intuitive, healing touch but also a calming, soothing presence. I find our sessions to be both physically and emotionally restorative. I would highly recommend Rolfing for anyone dealing chronic pain, and Steph particularly as a practitioner!

I saw Russell after reluctantly dragging my feet and skepticism and I was glad I finally tried it out and found some relief for my degenerative disc disease.

Steph is the best! I have had chronic knee pain for the last six years. I have seen countless physical therapist, orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors and have even tried some acupuncture. After going through the 10 session series with Steph, I can happily say that I have had more progress in pain reduction in just a few months, than I have had combined over the last 6 years. Not to mention, my shoulder mobility is way better, my posture has improved, and my yoga practice has benefitted too! I know Rolfing can seem a bit pricey, but if you are like I was and you feel like you currently aren't getting anywhere with your current health/Dr. appointments, give Rolfing a try!

I had a wonderful experience with Steph at Rolfing Works in Bellingham. The office was cean, light, and very comfortable for me. I arrived after several days of pushing myself in the gym and a long day of travel and my muscle recovery time was shorter than average after my visit. My time with Steph was very effective in improving my posture- she observed my movements and recommended specific things to pay attention to as I move through the day. I really appreciated her help, and the environment. I would recommend booking an appointment to anyone interested in managing their physical health in a calming and healing space.
