The Whole Body Approach to Well Being

Imagine living in a flexible, balanced body that is free of pain, stiffness, and chronic stress. Imagine your body at ease and able to adapt to life's physical, mental, and emotional challenges.

What is Rolfing?

Rolfing Structural Integration is a holistic system of soft tissue manipulation and movement education designed to restore the body to its natural, healthiest, and most efficient alignment. By methodically lengthening and rebalancing tension in the connective tissue, which consists of muscle, tendons, and ligaments, Rolfing establishes optimum change in the body's overall structure. This leads to a more comfortable, flexible, pain-free body that conserves energy and creates more economical, refined patterns of movement.

About Jason

Jason has been in private practice offering Rolfing Structural Integration since 2005. He received his training at the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration in Boulder, Colorado and became certified in Rolf Movement in Barra do Sahy, Brazil. Before practicing at Empowered Yoga, Jason, a Pennsylvania native, practiced in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, serving the greater Reading area where he still maintains a limited practice.

Jason has a deep passion for the study of human form and function. He is intrigued by how people move and relate to the world around them. To deepen his understanding of Rolfing, he received extensive training in spinal biomechanics, gaining the tools and knowledge to work very specifically with the tissues of the body. His Rolf Movement sessions elicit awareness of habitual movement patterns that are not beneficial to the client. After observing a client’s movements, Jason works to explore new movement possibilities applicable to everyday life. He loves to share the work of Rolfing with people of all ages and lifestyles. His compassionate and non-judgmental approach allows for a client’s process to unfold in a safe and comfortable environment.

When Jason is not Rolfing, he loves to be active. While walking, riding his mountain bike, practicing yoga, or rock climbing, he is always exploring how he moves and embodies his experience.
