- “I suffered for 13 years with lower back (chronic) and hip pain as a result of driving a large sales territory. The Rolfer massage is the only thing that I have tried that provided almost complete relief of the chronic pain that I suffered from. (Contributed 12/16/09)

- “After shoulder surgery, almost a year ago, I had a complication called ‘frozen shoulder syndrome’. I was in sever pain and could not move my arm up past my upper section. After 4 weeks of [Rolfing] treatment, I had improved [my] range of motion and significantly [experienced] less pain. After 8 weeks, I had improved exponentially! I truly believe that physical therapy would never have gotten me as far in terms of range of motion, flexibility, and decreased pain. [Christina] is extremely knowledgeable and skilled. She has an exceptionally caring personality as well as a wonderful sense of humor. She is a healer.... I would recommend anyone who wants to feel better physically and mentally to allow themselves to experience the healing hands of Christina McChristian. -- Jodi Raymond (Contributed 12/03/09)

- “My Doctor recommended that I try Rolfing since chiropractic wasn’t helping with my neck or back pain. Christina is great! She really knows how to free up areas that have been tight for years. After a session, I feel loose and relaxed. I would highly recommend CLM Wellness Therapies to anyone experiencing chronic pain.-- David Kelley (Contributed 9/10/09)

- “The best referral I ever received was to Christina! I fell on my hip that has arthritis and bone spurs. For 6 weeks I struggled just to walk and sit down. I was miserable. A cortisone shot helped relieve the intra-joint inflammation, but my gluteal hip muscles were stuck. After my Rolfing sessions, I felt immediate relief. With ongoing sessions (weekly) mobility and flexibility improved dramatically, I now do maintenance once a month to keep things moving! It has been a worthwhile journey. It is great to be pain free! -- Kathy Bacher (Contributed 8/30/09)

- “Christina was recommended to me by Greg Knapton, [PT, ATC] of Riverview Physical Therapy after I had seen him for extremely painful plantar facitis. PT did not help relieve my symptoms, acupuncture did not help, chiropractic adjustments along with Active Release Therapy (ART) did not help either. I did have relief from the constant pain in my heel after 3 rounds of painful cortisone shots directly into the site. However, the overall tightness and disconnected feeling in my leg persisted. The other doctors told me the only option I had left was surgery to cut those tendons and facia in my foot [that were] causing the pain. As a runner, that news was devastating. That’s when I called Christina, and I couldn’t be happier that I trusted my gut instinct that was telling me NOT to let surgeons cut my foot! The pain in my heel has almost completely disappeared, and my leg now feels like it is once again part of my body. Every appointment has made me feel better and better. I am once again running, knowing it is because Christina knows what I was suffering from. She knew the best way to release my body’s holding patterns through Rolfing. - Kimberly Graham (Contributed 7/14/09)

- “For about 9 years I have had shoulder blade problems with my muscle. It would tighten up a lot. [Then I] heard about Rolfing [and] had to go check it out. I found Christina, and she had tremendously fixed my shoulder blade problem, and I see her often for the stiffness from working out.” -- Debra T Chipman (Contributed 5/01/09)

- “I was having intense lower back pain when I came for treatment. Due to the Rolfing treatments, my pain level has decreased dramatically. I would highly recommend it especially if you have gone through physical therapy and didn’t get relief you had hoped for. ” -- Linda Bristol (Contributed 4/20/09)

- “Rofling was an amazing discovery! ... It gets right to the source, relieving nagging pains I had come to accept as normal. Christina [of CLM Wellness Therapies] helped me understand that pain is symptomatic of issues elsewhere in the body. ... Christina’s knowledge of anatomy and her skill as a body worker uncover habitual patterns in the body. [She]... has helped me recognize how to change those habits. I have experienced huge relief and give Christina [of Wellness Therapies] my highest recommendation.” -- Jen Micoleau (Contributed 4/04/09)

- “A pulled groin is no fun. Rolfing seemed to be the only therapy that gave me some relief. All other treatments felt too superficial. With regular visits, I’m working thought the layers to reach the source of the injury.” -- Carol Stringart (Contributed 3/10/09)

- “Christina McChristian’s Rofling has provided improvements beyond my expectations. I previously used traditional deep tissue massage, stretching, theracane, etc., without success. I stopped running for 4 years to improve IT band/knee pain. Only with Rolfing am I starting back running. Originally I came to CLM Wellness Therapies for neck/shoulder muscle pain and knee/IT pain and ended up finding a wealth of wellness information and muscle improvements beyond my imagination and expectations.

“In addition to Rolfing providing intense relief to neck-shoulder pain, a rotator cuff issue was improved to the point where bench presses and lat-pulldowns are no longer problematic. Hand numbness has improved to the point where waking at night is no longer an issue. Some of the added value benefits I experienced included a sense of calmness and a new emotional ‘brain-muscle’ connection and understanding. As a physiologist, I understand ‘intellectual’ neuromuscular function and anatomy. Rolfing on a consistent basis has brought me to a new ‘emotional’ understanding and awareness between my brain and muscles. I hope that more people will try Rolfing and be able to ‘bite the bullet’ through initial visits so they can experience the improvements in muscle flexibility that I have experienced with Christina McChristian.” -- Peggy Jo Fague (Contributed 2/15/09)

- “Rolfing has made a big difference in my chronic pain condition and ability to participate in sports and other activities. I would highly recommend it to anyone with problems and pain arising from muscle, tendon, and ligament problems.” -- George K. Dreher (Contributed 11/20/08)

- “In early June, I reached a point that no longer allowed me to exercise. I had been jogging 4 miles, 3 times a week, on a treadmill. Calf and ankle pain shortened many attempts to work out. ... Even a brisk walk was causing me problems. The medical and chiropractic disciplines did what they could for me, but my problems persisted. Christina [of CLM Wellness Therapies] was confident she would be able to help me. She was very knowledgeable and professional. I was amazed at her ability to Rolf! ... With Christina’s encouragement, I set a goal to do something I’d never done in my life: to jog 4 miles nonstop through my hometown. On October 25, I turned 52 years old, and I did it! ... No leg pain and endurance was not an issue. ... This has been a great accomplishment for me, and I believe it would not have happened without Christina’s help.” -- Patrick Caporino (Contributed 10/30/08)
