Similar to massage therapy and physical therapists, MK Rolfing is a certified Rolfing® practitioner specializing in lasting pain management and relief. Rolfing® is a hands-on therapy that goes beyond short-term pain relief to release tightness and restriction held in your body. Unlike more common therapies where someone works on your body, Rolfing® works with your connective tissue (fascia) to reprogram how your brain controls your nervous system. This resetting of the nervous system results in structural changes that alleviate pain, correct posture, and improve muscular performance.

After speaking with my contortion coach about all my bodily pains, he recommended “Rolfing”, so one night when I couldn’t fall asleep because I was in excruciating pain, I searched online for a location nearby and stumbled upon MK Rolfing with Marcel. Prior to my first session, I reinjured my shoulder, so I walked into Marcel’s office in quite a lot of pain, and not much mobility in my shoulder. I lay down on his table and he got right to work on me. After the hour session I had full mobility in my shoulder. I waited to see if this was just a temporary fix, but I am happy to report I have not since felt this pain in my shoulder. Before seeing Marcel, I would wake up every morning, and need to use a foam roller to adjust myself and use it before a big workout/hike. I no longer feel it necessary after working with Marcel. He has such a calm energy, which relaxes my body, so he can dig in and do his work. I find the work quite relaxing, and always feel better after our sessions. I highly recommend Marcel and MK Rolfing.

Marcel is caring and uniquely skilled. I’ve dealt with back and related musculoskeletal issues for decades. While I’ve usually gotten the help I need from chiropractic, I want to get to the point where I don’t need such interventions so often. So I decided to give Rolfing a try, found Marcel online, and just finished the 10 series. I now feel stronger, more balanced, and really confident and optimistic about using my body. Marcel is not only a gifted body worker, he’s also an unusually thoughtful communicator and has helped me understand — based on my symptoms and goals — how to make my body happier by being *more* active in a more balanced way (not by avoiding things). I’ll continue to see him and am really excited about my improved quality of life.

I’ve had a wonderful experience with Marcel related to tendon and somewhat crippling stiffness in one of my hands. My brother had a similar problem and elected for surgery, but Marcel was able to correct my problem using his talented Rolfing techniques. What a relief that I was able to forgo surgery in favor of Marcel’s talented work. The outcome was amazing. I look forward to continue to work with Marcel as he helps me with better posture and movement strategies. Many thanks, Marcel!

Rolfing is a game changer! I’m a retired rugby player with lots of old injuries. Additionally, I’m in my mid 40’s and still very active playing soccer, hiking, and doing CrossFit and gym workouts. I wouldn’t be able to maintain this level of activity without regular healing care visits and Rolfing has become an important part of my care regimen. When I initially started seeing Marcel, I worked with him every week for 10 weeks. This gave me a foundation of improved mobility and flexibility plus eliminating pain that was constantly with me from years of getting beat up on the rugby pitch. Now I see Marcel every other week and I will continue to do so in order to maintain balance in my body. Marcel is exceptionally knowledgeable and skilled. I recommend his Rolfling services without reservation!

I am someone who lives for movement. I have trained hard my entire life and have been teaching yoga, Pilates, and personal training for well over a decade. I have come across my fair share of personal trainers as well as physical and manual therapists, and can state with confidence that Marcel at MK Rolfing knows his craft and the body better than most. He is a gifted practitioner and is clearly on a mission to restore his clients to total health. He takes time, listens, studies, and observes, then gets to work knowing exactly what needs to be done to help. After just one session with Marcel, I was moving with more freedom than I have in years. He has reorganized my system with knowledge and precision. I quite literally feel like a new person — lighter, less encumbered, unrestricted. I am so grateful to and for Marcel. I trust his process. It’s truly unparalleled. Thank you, Marcel!

Marcel is an exceptionally gifted therapist. He has a deep understanding of anatomy that allows him to address the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction. Working with Marcel has eliminated shoulder pain that I had for several years and significantly reduced headaches that I have had my entire adult life. I would highly recommend working with him.

I’ve been working with multiple physical therapists, massage therapists and accupuncturists on my ankle joint that suffered from a severe bike accident and the necessary surgery. Rolfing and myofascial therapy is bringing break throughs in flexibility and movement that I haven’t reached in the 6 months before. Marcel really knows his field of expertise and can apply just the right treatment for individual problems. Great experience! Many thanks!

I came to Marcel because of foot neuropathy that was so bad I couldn’t feel the pedals on my car, and I could no longer go for hikes in the hills; even walking was a challenge. This condition has progressively developed over the past 15 years; I’m in my 70s. Marcel treated me for ten sessions, which initially were painful because my feet/ankles/calves were essentially locked up. He also worked on my upper legs and hips, as well as my upper body/neck/head to undo various kinks.

I went to Marcel with severe tendonitis that had been plaguing me for more than 6 months. Not only did his treatments get me on the path to healing almost instantly, his strengthening exercises have proven to be unbelievably effective and totally different from what I was seeing on line and from other therapists.
