Have you heard of Hellerwork? It’s an integrative form of bodywork that addresses structural misalignments and such with holistic mind/body therapy. That may be a mouthful but Hellerwork promises to provide multi-layered results to chronic problems. I’ve never personally experienced Hellerwork but Energy Times Magazine published an article on the little-known form of therapy. Here’s their description of Hellerwork:

Introduced in 1978 by Joseph Heller, Hellerwork is based on the more-familiar practice of Rolfing, which uses deep manual pressure or structural integration to release blocks in the body’s connective tissues and decrease structural tension by realigning the body. Heller himself became a Rolfer in 1972 and was named the first president of the Rolf Institute in 1975. Although Heller patterned his bodywork approach on the ten-session Rolfing program, he felt that restructuring alone wasn’t enough to achieve long-term permanent change. So Heller created his own dynamic system of deep tissue bodywork, movement education and dialogue to provide a natural, holistic way to enhance movement and flexibility, improve posture and alignment, and relieve pain—producing permanent change for lasting good health and personal growth.
There isn’t one standard reaction to Hellerwork, but typical responses include an improved range of motion, more energy, increased relaxation, a more graceful gait, slightly increased height due to better alignment, ease of breathing and enhanced awareness.
