“I approach bodywork as a partnership between my client and myself using breath and movement to address holding patterns and discomfort. My intention is to find where you are holding tension in your body and help you recognize it and release it through fascial manipulation. I see the Rolf Method of Structural Integration as a way of reminding the body of its full potential to move more freely which increases ones vital energy throughout the body/mind system. Freeing the breath and finding greater freedom to move is an integral part of the process. I seek to provide an environment for your mind/body to find its own equilibrium.”

Frank Epstein maintains a full time practice in Des Moines, Iowa. To receive more information or to schedule an appointment, he can be reached at (515) 274-3417 or e-mail frank@rolfmethodbodywork.com

 

"After many years of chronic pain in my back,knees,hips,and ankles.I am now pain free. I have been a runner for over 20 years and have had to take frequent breaks from my training schedule due to these nagging pains. Ever since going through the 10 sessions recommended by Frank , I have been able to workout without any breaks in my schedule. I use to go to the chiropractor 2-4 times a month to keep myself aligned. I haven't needed an adjustment for over a year and a half, since I started the ten series."
