Eastern Shore Rolfing® has relocated to 809C Daphne Avenue, near Main Street and Highway 98, in Daphne. The practice continues to offer high-quality, individualized care under the guidance of certified Rolfer Pam Reaves and new clients are currently being accepted.

Reaves, a graduate of the Rolf Institute in Boulder, specializes in Rolfing Structural Integration, a unique bodywork technique that focuses on aligning the body through fascia and connective tissue, rather than the skeletal system. This approach sets Rolfing apart from chiropractic care and helps clients improve posture and correct long-standing body patterns. Reaves is one of the few practitioners in the area offering this specialized service.

Rolfing sessions are 75 minutes long. Reaves begins with an evaluation of the client’s past injuries, chronic use and compensatory patterns. A movement assessment follows to pinpoint areas of tension and restriction. Once identified, Reaves applies slow, intentional pressure on specific areas while collaborating with the client for real-time feedback. “It’s like going on a journey with the client,” Reaves explains. The process is interactive, allowing for client input and facilitating better results.

After the session, another evaluation is conducted to assess changes, and Reaves provides guidance on integrating these improvements into daily activities. This could include advice on posture while sitting in an office chair or adjustments for long car rides.
