The Calm Center in Motion

August 7, 2016 By Rob Leave a Comment

‘Feeling the calm at the center of the cyclone.’ ‘Feeling the stillness within motion.’ These are some of my favorite metaphors for how dance can feel for me. Think about it: most movement does not seek to “stabilize” but rather to move though space, whether the motion is small or large. It’s important to develop […]

Rolfing for Hairstylists

May 15, 2015 By Rob Leave a Comment

I work with a couple of hair stylists and theirs is a particularly challenging profession when it comes to neck and shoulder pain. Their arms are constantly raised to work with the client’s hair. I asked a client today to show me how they work with a client while cutting hair. She stood with her […]

Some of what goes through a Rolfer™’s mind

March 29, 2015 By Rob Leave a Comment

Working with a client today with back and rib pain, and a lot of scoliosis. We started ‘the big project’ today of unraveling things from the ground up. For someone with a lot of scoliosis, this means ( for me) working on a particular restricted pathway or joint in the legs, then having them stand […]

A Breath-giving Dance

December 8, 2014 By Rob Leave a Comment

I made a breathtaking ( okay, maybe more ‘breath giving’) discovery today. I got a wonderful Rolfing® session a week ago today (Monday) from a friend and colleague Tim Shafer in Fort Collins CO last week. Even though since that time I have been very stressed by traveling, work, relationship questions, managing my own business, […]

Baby You Can Drive My Car

December 1, 2014 By Rob Leave a Comment

When you drive, do you automatically have a sense of things like the car’s speed, stopping distance, turning radius on the particular road surface, of the particular power curve of this car’s engine? You can almost sense the car as an extension of your own body, probably, ranging from the ability to do this of […]

What is Normal?

November 26, 2014 By Rob Leave a Comment

Normative; average; optimal; fantastic!! So so. Boring. Pleasurable. Painful. Ordinary. Bland. Special? Unique? Finely tuned awareness. Blunted sensation. Strong. Weak. Sad. Happy. Angry. Warm. Spacious. Open.   What of the above describes your sense of “normal?” The Germans and French use this word very often as a way to discuss what one can expect in […]

Ballet Can Move from a Grounded Sense

October 19, 2014 By Rob Leave a Comment

Check this out: ballet can move from a grounded sense For me, as a dancer, teacher, choreographer and Rolfer™, what’s key here is the strength and ease of movement out from the center of the pelvis of both dancers. Because of their individual commitments to that, too, they are able to flow into a common […]

Hip Positioning In Re Pain, Stiffness, & Strength

October 3, 2013 By Leave a Comment

The subject of this brief article could be summed up as: for the hip joint to work well in all directions, as in flexion, extension, rotation, circumduction, anteversion and more, it has to be positioned well (as in Rolfing® Structural Integration goals), and it also needs balanced tone. Otherwise, your body will not feel able […]

Happy Clients!

"Robert McWilliams is an amazingly skilled, compassionate and excellent Master Rolfer. Rolfing not only feels exquisitely good, it has freed me from chronic low back pain. What a relief . Another result of multiple sessions is that Robert has taught me to move more freely and efficiently. I cannot recommend Robert enough,because he has helped change my life . I have this deep internal physical and emotional sense of "before and after " where the "after " feels like a new lease on life. After completing the series, I still get Rolfed because it feels so darn good and there are continuing benefits. Robert has my highest recommendations."

"This man is an AWESOME bodyworker! Finally, after years of trying many other healing modalities, I have relief from chronic neck and back pain after doing Robert’s 10 sessions of Rolfing. As wonderful as that is, there have been other, unexpected benefits that are also life changing: areas of my body that didn’t communicate well with each other before are now developing a more efficient and fluid way of working together. Besides more range of motion and comfort, I feel more grounded. I also experience a clearer sense of my personal boundaries and an inner self-friendliness that is profound and hard to articulate."
