Ray is far more than a terrific Rolfing practitioner. He has had an exceptional career in higher education, which gave me confidence in his devotion to Rolfing as a truly valid and successful practice. During his evaluation in our first of many sessions, he correctly assessed my issues with spinal curvature in my neck and back in addition to the problems with restrictions in my neck and the turn of my right hip WITHOUT my prompting him on those conditions. After several sessions to loosen the fascia, I am no longer bent forward, my shoulders are looser relieving my neck issues and my sciatica is now a rare occurrence. I recently tested those improvements with a long trip to Nepal and Bhutan where I took several treks, many sharply uphill. In the past I would struggle with sciatica and hip issues, requiring frequent massages during such trips. While I did have a Thai massage at the end of the trip, I really did not need that attention despite the treks. Ray’s skills in Rolfing have proven invaluable to me and my quality of life!
