Jason is an incredibly skilled rolfer/SI specialist and an even better person. I have benefited tremendously from his knowledge and skill. When I first reached out to him, I didn't have any particular pain issues other than wanting to improve posture and general mobility in my joints. I had tried another rolfer in the area and it just wasn't a good fit for me (personality and results wise). However, as I am a pretty active person (yoga/gymnastics/weightlifting) things come up quite frequently. Issues come up, you sleep on your neck incorrectly, you are unnaturally tight in some area, etc. In these situations, your standard massage is not going to cut it (though you will feel very relaxed which is its own sort of therapy). To cut to the chase, I've never had a session where I didn't feel better (feeling like my body is just working better as a mechanical unit) upon leaving. One example that stands out is that I was introduced to a new stretch in a handstand class that revealed some serious weaknesses in my carpal tunnel area of one of my hands. After the class, I was unable to move my hand in a certain way and it was quite painful. After a session with Jason, I was able to regain mobility of my hand immediately afterwards, though it was still a little sore. However, the next day my hand was back to normal. I realize that this type of miraculous recovery is a rare case, however, I think it speaks to the quality of his technique and knowledge that he knew exactly how to address it. As with most people who are talented and have a true passion for their field, Jason is in high demand. If I had to come up with a downside, it would be that you may not be able to just "hop in" to his schedule. He likely will recommend you to someone else but in my opinion I would just wait until something opens up. I would recommend Jason to anyone looking for the next level of bodywork, any active person who gets dinged up from time to time, or anyone who sits at a desk for work. He is also a deep know-er and seeker of all sorts of knowledge and is very approachable. read more

I've continued to use Jason to present and he's always come through for me and my needs. Definitely give Jason a try and you won't be disappointed. :o) read more

Received a 10 series and some follow-ups with Jason, he has a great touch, highly recommend!

We have been to several other rolfers in the past and as dancers, we are big fans of rolfing. Jason Goodbrake is the most experienced rolfer we have met so far. He knows so much and he always can sense and understand any issues we are having. He has had a tremendous impact on my whole family (we have all started seeing him) and keeps us feeling great. I give him the highest rating possible. Also, he has a super fun personality and he is punctual, organized, and a very caring person. He also knows a lot about nutrition and exercise and is just overall completely knowledgeable about health and wellness and of course, structural integration. read more

Jason was outstanding!! I highly recommend him. Very professional and knows what he is doing. read more

Jason has helped my alignment significantly. My pain is reduced and I move with more ease. Changing body patterns takes time and commitment. His work is an important component. He always makes me feel comfortable, I really enjoy our sessions. read more

My family and I have been having work from Jason for the past 3 years. I went through the 10-series with Jason and my daughter is going through the 10-series right now. I used to live with daily back pain but because of the work Jason's done I now live pain-free! I train with weights 3-4 days per week and find that routine SI sessions with Jason help to keep me injury-free and also to experience the maximum benefit from my training. I receive work from Jason every 3-4 weeks and continue to experience progress. What kind of progress you ask? Just this week I had an hour of work and asked Jason to work on my neck as I had been feeling some tightness developing. I also asked him to help with some tightness in my hips. After an hour session I felt like I had a new body! The thing I really like about Jason is his sincere passion for what he does. And he continues to work to learn more so that he can better serve his clients. His rates are very generous, especially compared to what it costs for other things that deliver much less in the way of results you can immediately feel. If you are experiencing a bodily pain or discomfort I would recommend that you see Jason first. Additionally, for people who want to maintain a healthy and active life well into retirement years I'd recommend routine SI sessions with Jason to help keep your body as functional as possible. read more

Completing the 10 series with Jason changed my life. I suffer from chronic back pain (3 herniated discs) and a variety of other overuse injuries including tears in my right and left elbow tendons (tennis). Exercise and working out used to leave my joints achy and sore. I thought this was a normal byproduct of exercise. Now I can play three times as much tennis without the same pain. It's hard to explain but I just feel like my body is moving the way it is supposed to. Like someone out WD-40 into my joints and freed them to use their entire range of motion. Another surprising side effect was the dramatic changes in the arches of my feet. Previously I could not wear high heels because of my extreme arch. Now, my arch has softened and my weight is more evenly distributed across my foot. My experience with Jason has been fantastic on a personal and physical level. I highly recommend. Disclaimer: Rolfing is not for the faint of heart. It can be uncomfortable at best to downright painful, but it doesn't last long and the results are SO worth it!!! read more

Jason is the best body worker I know. I was skeptical at first, but when I went through the 10 series, my whole body changed and I was more structurally aligned than I have ever been in my life. As a professional dancer, the difference in the way I dance, the ease with which I dance and move is nothing short of a miracle after receiving Jason's work. I have subsequently gone on to receive some of the three-session advanced work, which further deepens the changes that have been made. I refer everyone I know to Jason. I would tell the whole world to receive Jason's work - because EVERYONE would benefit from it. The ingrained patterns we evolve into can be changed and let us all lead a more pain-free, easy way of moving and living. read more

Jason is THE person to see for SI in Virginia! His knowledge, skill and sensitivity is incomparable. If you are in pain he CAN and WILL help you out of it. If you feel out of alignment due to just about anything from an old lingering injury to emotional trauma, get to the core of the matter with Jason and together you can uproot it! SI is powerful work in and of itself but in Jason you have the best practitioner in the area (and this review is being given by a certified Rolfer™!) read more

JASON IS THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST! When I first saw Jason I was just starting grad school and I remember barely being able to sit through a single class if I was to the side, or if the lecturer was to the side of the room, because my neck hurt SO bad! I was constantly distracted and rubbing my neck because it ached from being turned in one direction for even just a few minutes. By the end of my 10-series with Jason I could visibly see a difference (we took before and after photos) in my body--my head was more aligned with my spine whereas it had previously been jutting out way further than normal (causing my head to tilt forward and downward) because of the strain and tension from my neck and shoulders. Even 3 years after my 10-series (and I did another shorter series with him) and more diligent yoga practice, I am much more comfortable and have way less pain than I ever did--even sitting through a 3-hour class or 4-hour exam. Jason taught me how to identify the parts of my body that stored tension and he physically helped me by physically integrating my body into a healthier and more aligned state. These are long-lasting changes! Jason is very professional, good-natured, and very attentive to what your individual body and needs are for the type of life you lead. He is very dedicated to his craft and every year takes it upon himself to seek additional training and is always learning more and more. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you visiting Jason and seeing what this structural integration stuff is all about. read more

I had only had body relaxation massage sessions until I met Jason. It has been a wonderful experience for me during the 7 sessions I recently completed with Jason. Rolfing has left a lasting impression on me. Jason is not only a great Rolfer, but a professional who truly gets his art. His ability to work with my body on the table along with his strong skill set makes him stand out. Right from the start I knew I was in good hands. If you want a Rolfer who will treat you as the unique individual you are, while giving you full attention, then I would strongly recommend you make an appointment with him. Thank you Jason for your professional care and attention! read more

Jason Goodbrake provided in-depth and superior help with my back pain. For years, I've suffered unimaginable and daily pain. I have been to many pain management doctors and been in physical therapy for years. None of it has worked to solve my pain issues. But one visit to Jason and I was feeling better than I had felt in years. The session was excellent and from the moment I left, I was in nearly no pain. If anyone is in need of help with any form of pain, and had as hard a time as I have had finding relief, do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment. You won't regret it, and you'll feel better. No one wants to be in pain every day of their life, and this is the right path to set yourself on to pain relief and a better life. read more

I started going to Jason about 8 months ago for the 10 series and recently completed 3 follow up appointments. He is EXCELLENT at what he does and so knowledgeable about anatomy and pain referral to the point that it seems like magic. Before seeing him I was getting painful back spasms at least every other month and neck pain from non-ergonomic working conditions; now I no longer have either! I highly recommend Jason to anyone who has any sort of musculoskeletal pain or bad posture. Even in one session he can make significant improvements and alleviate pain. He's also very friendly and makes good conversation :) you can tell that he really knows what he is doing and really wants to help you feel your best. I'd give him 100 stars on this review if I could! read more

Jason is awesome!! He was referred to me by my husband's personal trainer, after I exhausted chronic pain management options that made me felt better for a short time but did not provide lasting result. Jason is very gifted, caring and thorough, giving his 110% each time. Everything stated about the Structural Integration is true; dynamic, comprehensive, and results-oriented, so it is really surprising that S.I. isn't more popular. Jason doesn't just focus on where you are feeling a pain, and realigns the whole body (which is why it takes 10 sessions) and in doing so identifies and source of the pain and effectively removes them. He truly un-twists tight muscles and creates space in the body in a way that is intense, powerful, and blissful at the end. read more
