Run don’t walk to Bartley Rolfing! Jay Bartley is a Rolfing SI practitioner that really knows what he is doing and in my opinion works with you to get noticeable results quickly. I only have great things to say about Jay and highly recommend his work to everyone I meet.

Most people don’t know what Rolfing Structural Integration (SI) is or what it does and how exactly it can help them. I was one of those people until I experienced the entire 10 series.

The short explanation from my understanding is- we’ve all heard of muscle memory, but what we have not heard is that muscle memory is actually stored in the fascia and not the actual muscle. So SI is a massage type physical manipulation of the fascia that allows it to release, open up to receiving blood flow from the body and therefore it heals stronger than before.

I’m not a doctor and I can only really talk about my experience. But before working with Jay, I had muscle tightness in the back, legs, and jaw that would caused pain and headaches. I wanted to see if he could help with that.

My experience is that the results were beyond my expectations. I wanted less pain or even no pain in my muscles. After going through the series, I was really happy that the tightness and pain is gone. But in addition to that, I’ve discovered a whole range of motion in my body that did not exist before. My legs feel balanced and secure and movement is easy and free and actually feels really good. I feel taller just like I’ve been untangled and able to really experience movement. My body from a structural standpoint looks stronger and my posture is naturally improved because of it.

One things to know is that as great as my own results were, I had to work in each session for it. Some of the SI sessions were painful for a few minutes as Jay worked on different areas. The way I would explain it is that blood has to move in your body in order to heal your body. And there are some areas of your body that have been blocked for years. So obviously when those areas open up there is a pain sensation and a brief period of adjustment when your body recognizes that it is healing itself.

If you are an Athlete or bodybuilder moving to the next level or A regular person dealing with chronic muscle pain, Run don’t walk to Bartley Rolfing!
