I have chronic muscle pain and tightness. It's from my head to my toe. Bill has helped in so many ways. He released some areas that I have struggled with for years, for example my IT band, shoulder and hamstring. He also brought awareness to my body and I learned about specific trigger points. Unfortunately, I still struggle with muscle tightness, but, with out my Rolfing treatment I would not have the body knowledge I now have. As well as relief in areas that my Doctors could not help me with. I have movement in my shoulder that I have not had for years. As well as my IT band, I can not believe it was like a rock for years and after a Rolfing series its no longer a problem. I will definitely be seeing Bill again for maintenance. Bill also makes you feel very comfortable. He's professional and knowledgeable. read more

I am 76 years old and just finished the series of 10 with Bill. All I can say is, He is amazing!!!!!!!!! His work on me opened up my body to where I am standing taller and straighter. I am much more flexible and limber as compared to when I started with him. The pain I had in my shoulders hampered some of the exercises at Pilates. The pain is now gone and I can do whatever exercise I have to. He got into my shoulders and arm pits and it opened everything up and I can now raise my arms straight up toward the ceiling. My walking improved and I feel more connected to my body now.] Wow, what a difference 10 sessions can make. I will keep going back for tune ups every 2-3 months so I do not lose what was accomplished. Thank you Bill for who you are and what you do. read more

Bill has been an incredible healer to work with. I finished the 10 series and this process has really helped transform some ongoing issue with pain. It's easier for me to sit up straight and keep my shoulders low. Rolfing is intense ,but Bill is super aware of how you are feeling about it and going at your rate .He works on an intuitive level and spends a long time with you in each session and the results are well worth it. each session was completely different and in line with what i needed. I always left feeling calm and supported. I was curious about Rolfing and so Glad I tried it out! It's great to experience less pain and more freedom in my body and work with someone as present and caring as he is. Thank you thank you thank you and see you soon for more! read more

Bill helped me with aches and pains I had developed from stress. And he helped work out an old ankle injury. After the 10 sessions I felt like a new person. I began to move in new ways and work out a lot more. He is very skilled and knowledgeable and taught me a lot of movement and the body. It was money well invested. I highly recommend him. read more

I would recommend Bill to anyone that is even slightly curious about Rolfing. My first appointment was after eight months of chiropractic care that just couldn't fix the cause of neck and lower back pain. I am one treatment away from completing my series of ten treatments. Each week I can feel my body restructuring itself and performing more like a balanced system of muscles, bones and joints. Bill is incredible! He approaches retraining your muscles and skeletal system like a tactician. Each week he also gives you something to work on, with the end goal of your body having the same movement as elite athletes. I could go on and on about all the amazing things I've experienced over the last few months, but I'll end with saying that the money I've spent for Bill's experience and knowledge is the BEST gift I've ever given myself. I wish I had heard of Rolfing and found Bill years ago. read more

Rolfing has completely changed my posture and the way my body is aligned and I can't say enough good things about it and Bill. I went to him because I had a shoulder problem and 10 months later even after completing the 10 series I'm so into it it has become apart of my life. For the first time in my life I no longer walk on the outsides of my feet, I've gained so much strength in my upper body and said shoulder problem has nearly gone. Bill is very knowledgable and every treatment different after he assesses where my body is at on that day. Is it painful- yeah sometimes but it's so so worth it because of the huge benefits .- read more

I recently completed a 10 series with Bill and it was an amazing experience. Bill is extremely professional and very competent. I feel more freedom in my body and the aches and pains that I have had for many years (due to a car accident) are now much better as well. I felt like Bill was sculpting my body as a artist who restores existing art pieces to good shape. I feel more aware of my body and generally better aligned and balanced because of Rolfing. I truly believe that Ida Rolf was many years ahead of her times and that Rolfing will become a mainstream healing modality soon. read more

I have had TMJ as long as i can remember and it's only getting worse. I have tried almost everything without any real results until I started rolfing with Bill. I just completed my 10 session and I am amazed at the positive transformation. Bill was able to shift my jaw back into its original position which I didn't think was possible. His intra-oral manual therapy really helped in releasing the tension in my jaw muscles. i also had neck and shoulder pain which Bill worked on tirelessly to get my range of motion back. I am now a lot more flexible and my posture have improved greatly. Not only is Bill really good at what he does but he has a calming presence. I plan to go back for the post-ten 5 series to have Bill work on more specific areas. If you have TMJ or any other pain, please go see Bill. You will be in good hands. read more

Bill Stiefel does an amazing job, and I'd recommend him to anyone seriously interested in structural integration! I went to Bill with tendinitis issues and some nasty posture problems from years of costume and art work. It wasn't an easy process, but his professional manner, obvious knowledge and sense of humor made the ten series a great experience. My back, neck and hands thank you, Bill. Here's looking forward to many creative years to come! read more

As a "wounded healer", I am on a constant search for legitimate, caring, talented, and skilled practitioners. Bill goes above and beyond his education and experience. He takes accountability for his work which results in impeccable technique and care for his clients. I chose the 10 series to help retrain my posture to be flowing and natural...to combat the many years of holding tension and injury in several parts of my body. Rolfing is unique as it unlocks insights into injuries if you quiet yourself enough to listen. For example, holding fear in the jaw...keeping a "stiff upper lip", biting back your words. You'll see. The process was a bit wrenching at times, but Bill has a way of putting a person at ease in the midst of releasing the tension that grips them. Breathe and let that go. It has been quite effective for me and I find my muscles to be more relaxed. My body awareness heightened as Bill gives you cues to consciously correct your posture. I highly recommend Bill as an experienced, knowledgeable, intuitive, and effective Rolfer. My body feels more free and relaxed due to this series. read more

I'm a relatively healthy person who has TMJ. Bill was extremely helpful at removing the jaw and neck pain. I had never done Rolfing before and a friend recommended that I do it as I do not like taking pain medicine. I walked in with a 5/10 in terms of pain and walked out with a 2/10. I can't wait to do the next session. Bill was very kind. I believe he is truly a gifted healer and a highly skillful Rolfer. read more

I had my first Rolfing session recently, and am very much looking forward to continuing with more sessions. I had previously heard that Rolfing can be painful, but didn't find this to be the case in the slightest. There was no pain nor discomfort, yet I felt like Bill worked at a deep structural level. I felt fantastic afterward. I would highly recommend Bill for anyone seeking bodywork. read more

Working with Bill was a life changing experience. We did a single session where he triaged specific (chronic) back pain that I was having, and I haven't had trouble since. Then I did the 10 series with him, and I feel the work showed me how to properly walk and move. My body looks great, and I feel great because of it. Rolfing can be a tough experience at times, but Bill really knows what he's doing--and his manner helped me navigate the tough spots. It's an investment to do the 10 series, but honestly the focus, support and understanding that Bill provided was priceless. I can't think of an experience where I felt more supported. read more

Bill at Elemental Rolfing is really great on all points: demeanor, knowledge and ability. I was suffering from excruciating pain in my left hip. For some reason Rolfing swam into my line of sight as a treatment, and a respected friend/Acupuncturist gave me the thumbs up on it. While one session is not a magic bullet, there's no question he alleviated a great deal of my pain and returned much of my mobility. His office is soothing and well-decorated. (That's not nothing when you're looking to feel better.) His demeanor is professional yet down-to-earth and he clearly has the skills to read where a body is not aligned, and he knows how to address the misalignments. I would give him 6 stars if I could! I will definitely be returning for more sessions with him. read more
