I had the privilege of talking with a local podcast host, Theresa Moore, On Conversations To Inspire! It's a great pod if you want to know more about what I do, how I can help you, and a bit of my own backstory on why I dedicated my life to Dr. Ida P. Rolf's work. If you like our podcast I highly recommend checking out Theresa's other podcast of local practitioners in the healing arts in the area. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2uS3Er0sJdk6gpTE2RfHwU?si=32MH_jlbQduVcSCJ4my9LQ&nd=1&dlsi=79b59119e3594fe1

Does Structural Integration hurt?

I'm often asked this question, but the answer can vary from client to client. The reputation of pain comes from the old school method of Rolfing.

I believe we know so much more about the body than we did in the 70's when SI was in its early stages. The bodywork world has learned that the nervous system tends to shut down and become more resistant to change if pushed too hard.

I've personally learned to work slower and softer to get more from the body. I've learned to take people to their limits, and that is different for every single person that walks through the door. That is why the first session is so important to teach the client to breathe and to learn what their body's limitations might be in order to avoid this stress.

Most of my clients have a "hurts so good" attitude and love what's considered deep work, but not everyone agrees with this. The benefits of feeling good after a session far outweigh the possibility of discomfort in a session, and this is why I consider SI closer to physical therapy than massage therapy.

I always seek out quality personal trainers to have in my network, no matter where I live. Clients are feeling better during or after the 10 Series, and we take that momentum and continue to work on strengthening your new body. It's a natural progression, kind of like passing the baton from me to a new trainer.

Here in Manitowoc, my current personal trainer Candy Ruffolo, who works at The Y and Tapped on the Lakeshore. I've been excited about my progress in the gym. I have less achy muscles after work, feel tighter and more energetic, and yes of course I've lost a few LB's!

Are you wondering what to wear to your upcoming Rolfing session? I get this question all the time, and here are my recommendations:

🍑 Please wear comfortable underwear you don't mind being seen in as I'll get you on and off the table occasionally to look at your structure.

🧔‍♂️ For men, stretchy boxer briefs or classic tighty whites work great; no boxers please!

👩‍🦰 For women, most underwear is acceptable and strappy bras are best - no sports bras because they are thick and tight and difficult to work around.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule your first session, you can contact me directly at 920-860-4764 or email me at mariethiebaud@gmail.com.

I ran across an article by Caroline Jordan, an old collaboration in San Francisco. She is a fantastic fitness instructor and educator! The importance of strengthening your new body after the 10 series has introduced me to many amazing personal trainers like her in my 12 years as a practitioner.

If you want to learn more about what Rolfing is and the major benefits it yields, give this article a read! It will give you a great idea of what to expect during your sessions.

Plagued by muscle pain? You might benefit from a unique massage technique called Rolfing. “Deeper than a deep-tissue massage”, this technique was developed by Dr. Ida Pauline Rolf in the 1950’s. Rolfing works to separate bound-up connective tissues (or fascia), which link the muscles.”Rolfin...

Clients often tell me they feel taller or believe to be taller by the end of the 10 series but rarely is it documented. Michael Zelinski has been able to document this progress - he went to his doctor before and after completing the 10 series, and his height increased by an inch and a half!

Thank you Michael for allowing me to work on you and being the perfect SI model for these pictures!

Hello new followers, I would like to take a moment to introduce myself!

My passion for healing began due to my own struggles with scoliosis and fibromyalgia. I was in a lot of pain. My back pain started when I was 13, and only kept getting worse until it made it difficult for me to have a normal work life.

I initially started working in a chiropractic office as a massage therapist and office manager in 1997, which was also the first time I experienced the possibility of alleviating pain through chiropractic care. It helped, but being a massage therapist long-term was difficult because I was still dealing with so much pain.

After that, I pursued a corporate career. I loved it, but I was in too much pain to sit and focus on what I needed to do for my job. I got laid off, and it was the best thing to ever happen to me because it changed my trajectory completely.

It allowed me time to receive Dr. Rolf’s 10 Series, which completely alleviated the constant pain I was feeling. I was inspired to give to other people what I now had - a future without pain. My true calling was helping clients manage and heal their pain as a massage therapist.

I specifically chose the practice of Structural Integration, the work of Dr. Ida P Rolf, because I experienced first-hand the dramatic improvements in my own body. Motivated by my experience, I pursued this approach to help clients take responsibility for their own health and work towards a pain-free existence.

Through my extensive training of over 2,000 hours in bodywork, I apply my healing touch to a large and diverse client base in all matters of repetitive stress injuries.

Whether you’re suffering from a sports injury, scoliosis, or autoimmune disorder, or just want to gain back maximum performance, you can also benefit from my advanced practice of the Rolfing 10 Series.
