Welcome to The Rolfing® Structural Integration practice of Katie Flaster
Hands-on Therapy And Movement Education To Keep You Balanced, Resilient, and Functioning at Your Best
What is Rolfing® and can it help me?
Rolfing® is a sophisticated form of deep tissue bodywork that focuses on bringing the body into balance to support function in daily living. Rolfers™ analyze the body's structure and patterns, and work to release restrictions in the tissue that inhibit the body's optimal alignment and function. In doing so, you gain freedom, support, and adaptability in your body.
How can Rolfing® help?
Physical pain and discomfort are often the result of facial and muscular imbalances in your structure. Through manual therapy, in conjunction with movement and strength education, I will help bring your body back into balance, helping to relieve pain, discomfort, and dysfunction. I have helped dozens of clients with:
Chronic or acute back pain/dysfunction
Chronic or acute neck pain/dysfunction
Chronic or acute knee or ankle pain/dysfunction
Chest rounding forward (kyphosis)
Sciatica
Carpal tunnel symptoms
Loss of range of motion
Decreased athletic performance
Chronic stress
Katie Flaster, Certified Rolfer™ in Missoula, MT
I have served my community as a Certified Rolfer™ since 2016, and I delight in helping me clients live in and relate to their bodies in new ways, reframing their perspectives towards health and resiliency.
I have a deep love for the depth and intelligence of Rolfing®, and my practice has developed over the years to encompass skills beyond my hands-on bodywork. My multifaceted approach is not only based on my extensive knowledge of Rolfing®, but also my study of orthopedic strength and movement training, neuroscience, lymphatic massage, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed care.
On a physical level, my work will help your body feel better, have increased function, and have greater resiliency as you meet the demands of your daily life.
On an emotional level, my work will calm your nervous system to create a healing environment for your body to release the emotional burdens and traumas bound up in your physical tissue.
On a practical level, my work will provide you with strategic strength building and movement exercises that will help support your body long-term, and enhance and solidify the benefits of my hands-on work.
