"I've spent many years in pain, and I felt like there was no hope of recovery despite the many other avenues I had tried. During and since my Rolfing experience I have seen and felt changes I never thought possible. Jon was very respectful, personable, and professional, and I am very grateful. Thanks."

—Mr. Isaac Sather


"It’s been about six months since we first started working on me and about 6 weeks since we finished my first 10 session sequence. I had been to internists, orthopedists, urologists, masseurs, shamans and witch doctors and while each of them has their place in the world, you were the answer to the pain and daily discomfort I had been in for years. After MRI’s CT’s drugs and potions, it is a shame I waited to find you until I was approaching “last resort” status.

I would hate to minimize the work you do by calling it “simple” but really, comparative to the other medical modalities I have travelled down, the Rolfing path was one of exceptional ease and superior results and, as with any pain or body issues we humans face, results are what matters.

After only a few sessions, my almost constant pain had eased and was soon gone. When it does happen to return, albeit briefly, my body seemed to have learned a new way of “being” that allowed itself to experience the discomfort and move through it to a more healthy and normal state, free from the pain. I no longer seem to hold on to the minor aches and pains that would have taken root and laid me low for days or weeks as before. It a new day. I have been able to enjoy, hiking, gym, travel, people….life, without pain once again.

For this, and so much more, I thank you."

"I have worked with several Rolfers throughout the years, and Jon Grossart is my favorite. Rolfing has done much to alleviate my pain and helps me stay in tune with my body. Because the sessions are interactive (requiring the client to participate) it allows me to play an active role in my health. I cannot speak highly enough of Rolfing or of Jon. My chiropractor was amazed at the results from my sessions with him and highly recommends that I continue with Rolfing treatments. Not only do I feel confident in Jon’s ability and knowledge, I am also very comfortable working with him."

"I started with Rolfing in October of 2007, hoping to find relief from lower back pain. Spine specialists only recommended meds. or surgery, which I was not willing to do just yet. They had tried cortisone shots into my neck and lower back vertebrae a few months earlier, which did not help. I did not like the medications I was on for inflammation, muscle relaxation, and powerful pain relief that I have been on for over 3 years. A friend in AZ suggested Rolfing and he helped me find Jon Grossart. On our interview I felt immediately comfortable with him and was ready to give Jon a try, since I had never done anything like Rolfing. With each session it got more difficult for me and I was thankful for his professional input and when to stop and when to keep going. I learned a lot about my body and breathing (you never know how much a person can learn no matter how old you are). I no longer take pain meds and I just need to listen to my body and heed the symptoms for me to stop and rest and not over-do things. I was glad for the exercises he gave me to use in-between sessions.

But because of Jon's expertise I move better and live without heavy pain meds. Also I think even my sleep has improved. I am apparently the longest '10' session client so for Jon. :)

I can highly recommend Jon Grossart without a doubt! He is an excellent Rolfer! Thanks for all you have done for me. God Bless!"

"Rolfing is a well kept secret. Once I discovered this very helpful treatment, I was very pleased with the results. Jon Grossart was very professional and very knowledgeable."

—Ms. Allison F.


"I just wanted to thank you for fitting me into your schedule for the two Rolfing treatments I had while my wife and I were on vacation in the Portland, Oregon area. I have been going to a chiropractor for a long time mainly due to a sore lower back. I completed the series of ten treatments about two years ago in Chicago. I felt a lot less discomfort in my back after the ten treatments. It reduced the number of visits to the chiropractor and provided more long term relief.

When we visited Portland for our vacation, I was experiencing a lot of soreness in my back. Rather than not enjoy my vacation, I was debating to either find a Rolfer or chiropractor in the Portland area for some relief. I am happy to report that after your two treatments, my back is substantially improved. Since I returned home, I have done a lot of yard work and played two rounds of golf. My back still feels great. It is too bad that you are not located in the Chicago area as I would surely use your services when needed.

When I return to Portland, I know who to call if my back hurts. Thanks again for all of your help."

—Mr. RG
