Rolfing with Brooke

Brooke Takac Buzzi is a certified Advanced Rolfer practicing Rolfing Structural Integration in Portland, Oregon at Shine Integrative Physical Therapy.

The process of Rolfing gives you the information to completely transform yourself into a less cranky version! If your body trying to tell you something? If you have aches, pains, or a sense that your posture isn't the way you want it to be then it's time to start listening! If you are curious about Rolfing and live near Brooke please let yourself explore an option that might change your life!

Rolfing is a fascinating form of bodywork that can reshape you! After traumatic injury or years of bad habits, the fascia can shape or become unbalanced resulting in chronic pain and discomfort. The overwhelming response is that people just love their sessions! It’s a time where you get to be listened to. The touch of Rolfing is very special and unique because it is essentially rehydrating and re-educating the tissue as it brings it back to where you stand in gravity. The touch is not painful, but sometimes letting go of those old habits can be!

Rolfing Structural Integration is a form of bodywork that reorganizes the connective tissues, called fascia, that envelopes the entire body encompassing all the skin, bones, and nerves. After traumatic injury or years of bad habits, the fascia can shape or become unbalanced resulting in chronic pain and discomfort.

• Injury Healing and Prevention
• Improvement in Posture
• Reduce Stress in the Body

• Increased Athletic Performance and Stamina

Who gets Rolfed? Everyone! People from all walks of life and any age group can be Rolfed to help them heal and experience the freedom that their body can have. Especially those of us who spend a little too much time on the computer!

What does Rolfing Session feel like? Brooke begins her sessions by getting to know you and your concerns and then observing your body in gravity. From there, she adapts an established Ten-Series treatment to your individual needs.

The touch of Rolfing is very special and unique to any other form of body work. Sensations can feel pleasant, momentarily uncomfortable, to nothing at all.

What is the Rolfing Ten-Series? There are ten classical hours that are offered in a series of 8-12 sessions depending on your need. Sessions are generally scheduled once per week. Individual, non-series sessions are also available.

I like the sound of this, but I’m not sure I want to commit to the full Ten-Series. You are encouraged to just try one session and decide for yourself if it is what your body needs. Most clients who receive the first session find the results compelling enough to continue therapy.

New Clients please complete the following documents and bring them with you to your first session:

What should I wear? Rolfing is an active form of bodywork that involves standing, sitting, and walking. Wear what feels comfortable to you. Women can wear a two-piece bathing suit or underwear and bra (please no sport bras). Men can wear a brief style bathing suit or underwear (please no boxers).

How much do sessions cost? Each individual Rolfing session paid at time of service costs $135 and usually lasts seventy minutes. Brooke accepts most major credit cards, but also offers a discount rate of $130 for cash transactions. The billed rate is $200.

Can I use medical insurance? Please contact Brooke in advance prior to scheduling an appointment if you are interested in using insurance. We can first determine if coverage may be applied and then work out the logistic requirements for your insurance company. Special circumstances exist if you are seeking coverage for a Motor Vehicle Accident.
