David and Rebekah are the best!
For the longest time, I've had persistent tension everywhere in my body, around the spine, the back, stomach, neck and eyes. This was affecting all aspects of my life: digestion, eye tension, and energy levels.
Massage, chiropractic and the usual PTs were only able to address the very superfical aspects of that; i often felt that they were not getting the most inner layers of my tension that was locking everything in place.
Acupuncture treatment with David, and rolfing with Rebekah have been a great combintation for addressing these issues. David has deep curiosity and dedication to get to the real root of the problem, which is demonstrated with his extensive palpation and careful examination. David's ability to read the body and pinpoint the problems with specific energy channels is extraordinary, and draws from his deep understanding of the body from his long experience as a rolfer and PT (He only does acupuncture now though).
I was extremely amazed and totally hooked the first time i went: the points he needled were nowhere near the location of discomfort, but soon i felt the energy coursing through those areas! That convinced me that David was really treating the issue at a much more deeper level than the symptoms themselves.
Rolfing with Rebekah is great because she is very supportive, positive and knowledgeable of the body. She listens most carefully to you symptoms, and has a keen eye and the skill to adjust for structure alignment.
Also, very important, Frome PT operates under a PT license, which means insurance likely will reimburse! This makes a huge difference for me!
i believe that bodily issues often can have a structural component, for example, tension around the spine causing digestions issues. For those, rolfing would an important aspect of healing. Craniosacral therapy also is great (Steve Kravitz, is a wonderful one, btw). Acupuncture, by addressing the energy channels can address all issues, but works on the more subtle energy levels, which is often speeded along by the loosening up of the muscles through other bodywork (such as rolfing).
Just my two cents for anyone looking for a good therapist. This is my first review, and took a long time to write, but i truly felt compelled to write a review for my wonderful therapists. Looking for a good one can be a nerve-wracking, expensive, and time-consuming process, and at Frome, you find two! read more
