Here's the short answer: just book it! You don't have to do a whole series, our practitioners can adapt to what you need right now. If you're thinking "I don't know if I can take it" -- there's nothing to take, we don't have a required technique we have to force on you.
We work with what your body, your nervous system, your whole self, really wants -- we can stay just with the most superficial structures if that's what's available -- or we might get down to the bone if that is. But we're not "breaking down" anything, not even scar tissue.

Most of a typical session feels like a manual therapy treatment in very slow strokes; often clients say it's everything they wanted out of "deep tissue massage", but also "it's not like a massage at all" if compared to a spa treatment. We can make a session relaxing if that's what is needed on a particular day, but we're working towards a deep, clear sense of embodiment within gravity, and the popular side effect that brings most clients to Rolfing® SI is that aches and pains tend to disappear once the whole person is using the field of gravity as their support. Towards that goal, a Rolfer assesses a client in standing and often a couple of movements like walking a few steps. We don't need to get into details because what is hindering organization within gravity is usually easy to see and feel. So after a few minutes, you're hearing a possible plan for the session, and it's your responsibility to say "no way that doesn't sound right" and your Rolfer will gladly follow your guidance.
Our training has given us a protocol but also a lot of tools and strategies outside of that, and most importantly, this is your treatment.

We don't force results on you. If that day is not the day for work on your ribs, that's ok.
We can gently work on your feet for an hour or massage your scalp if that's what helps you feel more integrated after a rough week.

Eventually you may find that you don't live in your body anymore as if it's a house -- you are your body, you feel whole and the field of gravity supports you, and you have the energy to move through life with effortless grace.
That is the goal of Rolfing, and the best thing about it is that no more treatments are necessary to maintain it:
Embodiment is yours once you have it.

Introduction

Lu Mueller-Kaul is specializes in posture and movement optimization. With a background as an osteopathically influenced physician in Germany, alignment-focused physiatrist, then shifting to Rolfing® Structural Integration (up to teaching on faculty), and researching intensively the neurophysiology behind chronic pain conditions, Lu has dedicated her career to helping individuals achieve more options in movement through scientifically-backed, personalized manual therapy and creative approaches to movement, often with just a few seconds several times per day. Her expertise is particularly valuable for those who have been misled by practitioners saying “I know how to fix this, but it’s going to take time….”, who have been imposing their own agenda instead of listening to their clients, who made diagnoses rashly “oh, I know you have a rotation in the XYZ” (often without being licensed to practice medicine), or whose diagnoses were of the “if my tool is a hammer” variety. Sadly there has also been a lot of harm done that Lu has encountered in her chronic pain clients – injuries to soft tissue structures usually heal by themselves when allowed to. Poked at, stretched, forced to exercise too much too soon, iced a lot and overall treated as if the body can’t deal with them by itself with a few easy self-care principles… that is the 20th Century recipe INTO CHRONIC PAIN and recurring injuries, chronic tendonities, bursitis, disc degeneration, arthritis and more. No, you’re not old or eating wrong or whatever. Sometimes you just need to exchange a few textmessages and give it 8 weeks, and you might not need ANY treatment. Try it. 407 408 0812. Thanks Lu.

Unique Approach:

Lu’s approach to posture and movement optimization is rooted in her extensive knowledge of neuromechanics and her ability to identify and correct common mistakes. She offers highly individualized training plans designed to build new neuropathways and provide more options for posture and movement.

Virtually I’m available ANYWHERE if you can make English or German (or terrible Spanish) a possibility. Get a freebie first, I know you can’t imagine what I might tell you and help you do that has effects different from Pilates or Egoscue or what ever you tried. My goals are different as well.

Caveat:

I am not able to see many clients these days due to a brain injury. Fortunately I have all my hands-on and teaching skills available (I feel as if they are better actually because I have less inhibition working outside the boxes) since long-term memory stayed completely intact. I can also still learn very well. It’s interesting for a neuro-nerd like me that some factors of subconscious processing have become better, and I’m more creative. But I do get exhausted very fast, I have significant cognitive problems, especially impulse control, time management, memory, and, most annoyingly, I ramble and tell long stories.

Please do me a favor and interrupt me if I go on and what I say is not useful. Hands-on work is from other brain areas so that is as wonderful as my clients have learned to expect, that’s why some even manage to come to Colorado from Florida. Only every couple of years… it’s REALLY not necessary more often.

I will raise prices from $210 to over $300 for a one-hour session in 2025, but I can give you a package deal if you can prepay. I have eventually understood that my work actually saves clients a lot of money (ask, I don’t like to brag as much I do on this page). And I can’t see more than three clients for hands-on work per week when I’m doing well. (see how I ramble on and on?)
