Kathleen Strauch, Certified Rolfer Kathleen Strauch, a Certified Rolfer, is a well-established Rolfer who takes the time to go back for refresher courses and exams to keep her certification. Rolfing is a technique that helps move the body back into proper alignment. Rolfing can serve to help realign structural relationships of the body with such things as: scoliosis, poor posture, hip imbalance or after childbirth, accidents, overuse, post-surgery, degeneration, stroke and relief for deep pain due to improper alignment of tissues. Rolfing is not the same as massage. Massage works to relax muscles and reduce stress. Massage and Rolfing work well together. Prior to becoming a Certified Rolfer, Kathleen was an attorney. She loves her new career and has helped many people during the many years she has been practicing.
