Yoga Teacher's endorsement
Client of John Smith - Sydney Rolfer
"I will be eternally grateful for your work which resolved my niggling back problem three years ago. After a sporting injury left me with a disc lesion and some facet joint problems in my lower back, I experienced 5 years of chronic pain. I had developed a yoga practice which had made it 95% better, but there were still flare-ups and episodes which limited my work and level of comfort. Four visits with John did the trick. Our fourth session seemed to reset my body posture and these changes have been permanent. I have now been pain free for three years and continue to heartily recommend his work to others."
- C B, Yoga teacher, North Sydney
Satu's Story - 2004
Class client of Nicholas Barbousas, Sydney Rolfer, for the Advanced Certification training held in June 2004
"..... My knees, ankles, hips and back had been giving me a lot of trouble and pain over the years. I had seen chiropractors, massage therapists, a podiatrist and doctors about them and they continued to be a problem. I feel that the ten sessions of rolfing did more for me than all the massagers and chiropractors I have seen put together. After the ten sessions I felt like a new person. With a better posture it became easier to breathe and the slight start of a hump in my neck/shoulders disappeared. All my joints are more flexible. I feel more grounded, more stable and find it easier to go up and down the stairs.......I had used orthotics for years. Previously, every time I tried to stop using them my ankles and knees started to complain. Now I have not used them for a couple of months and I am fine. ........"
