Developed by Joseph Heller, an early student of Ida Rolf,
this is a gentle form of deep-tissue muscle therapy that
emphasizes the importance of the body-mind connection. Offshoot
of Rolfing (Structural Integration), combines touch and
movement retraining to teach stress-free methods for performing
normal everyday activities. Sessions follow a specific sequence
of movement education and deep tissue bodywork to help realign
the body and release chronic pain or stress. Hellerwork
practitioners engage the client in a structured dialogue
so the client may gain insight and possible resolution to
the issue or memory that forms the underlying cause of tension.
