What is the history of The Rossiter System?
Richard Rossiter is a connective tissue specialist who innovated these powerful stretching techniques out of necessity when others failed. Wartime injuries suffered as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam produced shoulders that were so painful he could barely move his arm.
That’s when he discovered “Rolfing”, a form of bodywork that focuses on lengthening and restoring the body’s connective tissue. Once he discovered the benefits of Rolfing in relieving his own pain, Richard applied to the Rolf Institute in Boulder, CO. He graduated from the institute, eventually becoming a certified advanced Rolfer in 1987.
Richard Rossiter began looking for a way to help people in pain BEFORE their symptoms got the best of them. As a result, he created The Rossiter System, a highly evolved series of stretches that allow his principles and pain-relief approaches to be used virtually without limit in the workplace by trained employees and supportive managers. In 1990, he formed Rossiter & Associates Inc.
Can Rossiter help me if I’m not in pain?
Absolutely. Too often, people wait until they are in pain before they address a problem. The Rossiter System is the solution to keep your body loose and in balance so you can continue an active lifestyle. You can continue to use Rossiter regularly as a maintenance tool to stay limber and feeling good. We can also show you our favorite body rolling methods to help you manage your “over-did-its” at home!
Can I get Rossiter if I also get chiropractic/massage/etc.?
Yes! We do, too. Rossiter compliments other bodywork very well. However, a new client should not begin new bodywork at the same time as Rossiter. We need to know what is going on in your body before something else new is added. So get Rossiter sessions under way, let’s see what’s possible, and then we can go from there.
Why do you use your feet?
Have you ever tried to rub the knots out of a muscle, and about 10 minutes goes by before you lose strength in your thumbs? That’s one easy example. Using the foot allows the Coach to deliver precise, controlled weight instead of muscle force. Using gravity this way is the most effective method to change connective tissue for lasting results.
What will this cost?
Most clients do the discounted 4 pack ($275). Sessions may be purchased individually for $79 each. Yes, you can share with immediate family, and by the way, the 4 pack is good for 6 months.
