Kim McIntire Human Integration & Equine Bodywork

I’ve been going to Kim for over a decade and am so fortunate to have a healer of his caliber in the Carson Valley. I have experienced numerous «wrecks» in my life from broken bones to bulging disks and Kim has been there to help me put myself back together. He is compassionate, knowledgeable, and has a true gift.
I know I would not have the pain free quality of life I live now without him.

Most effective appointments I’ve ever had. Feelin great! He fixes the problem, not just the symptoms.

I had a huge crash (face first into the ground) while horseback riding almost 20 years ago. I’ve spent a LOT of time, effort and money helping myself recover from that.
I’m new to the area (from Minnesota) and just happened to walk by Kim’s studio one night. I wasn’t really into «rolfing» as I’d heard it’s painful, but I thought maybe I’d put on my big-​girl panties and try it.
To say the least, Kim’s approach to rolfing is the antithesis of what I’d heard. There wasn’t one moment of pain. I’ve never been to a bodyworker that is so careful to not cause pain during the session or who pays as much attention to my stress levels in and outside of the studio as Kim. He has THE most unique combination of strategies and skills that I’ve ever encountered, and as a result, I have virtually no pain and better mobility everywhere. This is really helpful as an avid horse sport participant, not to mention all that goes with it, the hay bucking, the poop mucking, the mounting, the dismounting, as well as just swinging a 40 lb saddle 4+’ high onto a horse’s back.
Kim’s cold laser has helped me lessen my uncomfortable hot flashes as well as other chronic and acute issues.
In short, I literally stumbled into Kim’s studio about 6 months ago, and now I’m balanced, grounded, mobile, and virtually pain-​free. That says a lot after trying to get to this point for over 15 years. Major thanks to Kim and his unique abilities.

Kim is truly a gifted healer. His desire to help people comes thru in everything he does. In two sessions he did more my leg injury then two other body workers had done in a few weeks of treatment. I’m very grateful I was open to his treatment style.

I went to see Kim for the first time to take care of some back/​neck pain. I left with my body feeling much better, but felt our personalities clashed a bit. I wasn’t sure that I’d go back again since we didn’t seem to click, but I couldn’t deny that my pain was gone. I had a lot of other functional issues that I wanted to work on, like posture and sports performance, so I bit the bullet and signed up for 10 sessions. Boy am I glad I did. By the third session, we got into a groove and each time I improved my strength, confidence, and body alignment.
Now, although Kim can help with pain, he’s not a cure all. Each time I’ve seen him, he’s given me exercises to do at home to keep the improvements going. He helps you get on the right path, nudges you along, and gives you more connection to your body, but a lot of the steps are up to you. I’ve become more confident, assertive, and in-​tune with my body. I stand straighter and I have much more endurance since I first saw Kim. My range-​of-​motion has improved dramatically and I am better able to judge how far I can push myself without getting hurt.
I plan to keep seeing Kim every now and then to make sure I’m still on the right path. Even after more than a year since my initial visit, I still do a lot of the breathing exercises to make sure I’m staying aware of what my body is telling me.

I completed 3 Rolfing sessions with Kim, and while he had some helpful tips, I felt he was unprofessional and challenging to work with. I specified my target areas from the very first session, and didn’t feel they were directly addressed until the third session. If Kim could let his ego get out of the way, I am sure he would have more to offer. If I had it to do over, I would take my $ 120/​session and spend it with someone that is humble and willing to interact with their clients in a more positive manner.

Although it has been about 3 years since my original Rolfing series, I am still incredibly thankful for the work that Kim has done and the advice that he gave to ensure I continue feeling healthy. Who knew you could be taught how to breathe properly?! After almost 20 years on extensive asthma treatment, I was medication free after 3 sessions and now still going strong. I highly recommend his one on one Pilates sessions as well to really perfect form and prevent injury.
