Rolfing® Athletes

I began getting lots of the runners from the New York Runners Club in the 80′s.  Some of these guys had legs like wood.  I remember one fellow who was from Europe and running was his religion.  He thrived on it.  But his body was also very frozen from having been pushed allot.  He made me work for my money.

Then there was a period where I started getting the serious bicycle riders.  One was a member of the US Postal Team.  They have there own tensional patterns, bikers do.  Where as the runners had it in their legs, the bicyclists had it in their hips and upper body, especially in the shoulder girdle.  Again, working with serious athletes is working for your money in many cases.

There was a long period where I attracted many ballet and Broadway dancers; these are incredible athletes.  It is like the Olympics really with the level of competition for work; you have to be at the top of your game at all times. They train very hard for years and because of repetitive motion, they often seek help for joint issues and for overall loosening and balancing of their body.
