“I have a hard time explaining my Rolfing experience to people without sounding like a zealot. Even a month or two after having completed the series, I can still feel my body shifting and getting used to its new, improved normal. So many movements that used to be uncomfortable for me or seemed strangely impossible for my body now come easily and with fluidity, and all of this is further bolstered by a greater sense of body and movement awareness. For a long time, I feared it was inevitable that chronic issues with my back and knees would eventually lead to dependence on Western medicine, surgery, and other extreme measures. Even after I realized that there were other options, I didn’t find the profound changes I was seeking from other therapies (acupuncture, chiropractic, neuromuscular therapy, etc.), which didn’t seem to me to address my body as a system that had to learn new ways of being. Rolfing has turned out to be a powerful and effective answer for me, the sort of truly holistic approach I was yearning for. The icing on the cake is Eric himself and the character of his practice. As a friend of mine (who is also a client of Eric’s) puts it, he has great integrity around his work. That has been clear in every single session I’ve had with him, and I am grateful!”

“Eric took the time to clearly explain the Rolfing process and its benefits while carefully listening to what my needs were. I found it interesting that Eric could ‘listen’ to what was happening with my body through his work. This may sound strange, but midway through the series I felt for the first time that I was getting comfortable in my body and had become the owner rather than the renter. I’ve noticed improvements in my posture, how I walk, how I sit and sleep, a significant reduction in pain and fewer visits to the chiropractor. Even after completing the series, I’m still noticing that I’m on a path of change.”

“I worked with Eric in 2009 and I can say that it changed my life for the better. My physical challenges are just that – huge challenges. Since 1999, I’ve had 3 back surgeries, including two endoscopic diskectomies and a spinal fusion, none of which helped. I went to see 3 different Rolfers before seeing Eric and I’m glad my life crossed paths with his. He’s truly a professional and I know you’ll be happy working with him too. Thanks again Eric!”
Billy Camping, Phoenix, AZ

“My experience with Eric was nothing short of eye-opening. I regard it as both personal and professional epiphany. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend him as a colleague and as a client.”

“Eric Gordon and I have been working together for several months now, and even though I’m not completely through a full rolfing series yet I can already notice a big difference. Skiing was my yardstick, and I can honestly say that since I’ve been to Denver Rolfing I ski more gracefully and effortlessly.  I have and will continue to recommend Denver Rolfing to my friends and family.  Thanks Eric!”
Todd Goodrich, Washington Park

“If you’re considering going to see a Rolfer, here are some things to know: Be sure your practitioner is professional, respectful, skilled, and above all completely present. I feel fortunate in that Eric possesses all of these qualities, and thus throughout my sessions I felt safe, comfortable, and completely attended to. As far as the work itself – it sounds funny, but I feel like I’m in my body and walking on the Earth!  It’s interesting and wonderful. Thank you Eric!”

“For years, I’ve been dealing with some prolonged pain issues in my back and neck.  I’ve tried everything (medicine, physical therapy, massage, chiropractic, acupuncture, physical fitness), and have only gotten minimal relief.  After a friend recommended Rolfing, I decided to try it, and I am amazed at how well it works for me. I especially like it because it gets at the root problem (the structure of my body) and helps to realign it.  I especially liked working with Eric.  He listened to me and helped me understand how I can best integrate my Rolfing experience into my life activities (working, driving, even sitting down to watch TV).  He’s definitely one of the best wellness practitioners I’ve worked with over the years.”
Scott, age 41, Denver

“I chose Eric Gordon as a Rolfer because I sensed he would be able to address my physical needs, while staying present enough to care for my delicate and changing body early in my pregnancy.  He met my expectations beyond what I could have hoped for. Eric managed to accomplish what chiropractors, massage therapists, other Rolfers, and years of yoga practice could not. And now, two months later, I’m even more amazed that it’s gotten better still. In addition, Eric was able to address an old injury to my tailbone. He very patiently and subtly worked to relieve the physical and emotional trauma left behind from this accident. I truly feel more stable, calm, balanced, graceful and put together after my three sessions with Eric.”
