"A 72-year-old colleague
referred me to Patty when I was complaining of chronic knee pain
that was keeping me from running. I was initially skeptical of
Rolfing because I thought it would be painful and wouldn't get
results. Thankfully, I was wrong on both counts! I signed up for the
10-sessions. The first sessions were good, but I didn't have a
breakthrough until session four. By session five, I was running
again pain free. Rolfing has increased my body awareness and
improved my flexibility, range of motion, strength and balance. I
have been able to achieve progress in running, yoga and lifting that
continues to surprise this 40-year-old. I find that going back to
Patty every few months has been keeping me on track and keeping me
in tune with my body. I highly recommend the Rolfing process with
Patty; it made a real difference for me!"

"Thanks to our 10 sessions I'm feeling GREAT! I am pain free in my
neck and I'm walking and standing much straighter. When I returned
to work I received many compliments on my weight loss, but I
returned to work weighing the same as when I left. I believe what
they see is a straighter posture. Thanks again for all you have done
for me."

"Rolfing is the only healing art that relieved all my joint
stiffness and chronically tight back muscles. Patty listens
carefully, and skillfully treats exactly what needs attention at
each and every appointment. I always leave my Rolfing sessions with
Patty feeling 10 years younger."

"I am a dressage rider. I've worked around horses and have ridden
most of my life. I've been pretty demanding of my body, doing my own
gardening work and have held jobs where I was expected to lift heavy
items. After my Chiropractor found that the corrections he was
making to my body were not holding, he introduced me to Patty. The
chiropractor noticed that my muscles were so tight that soon after
he would make his adjustments, my body's tissues would pull the
joints out of alignment again.
Some things I've noticed since going through the series. I used to
be more one sided; now I find it much easier to do things from
either direction. I used to wear my shoes out on the outside of the
heals; now the wear is much more even. My shoulders were always
really tight and I was always asking to be massaged there. Recently
I asked my husband to massage my shoulders and he was shocked. He
told me that 'the lump' on my left shoulder was gone and that my
shoulders felt more like they did 20 years ago! Patty reminded me of
an old injury that had occurred over 17 years ago which she felt
while working on my ankle. As my sessions progressed, the
chiropractor no longer needed to redo the same corrections over and
over again.
I feel my riding has really benefited from Rolfing. I have become
much more fluid in the saddle and I have a better feel of what my
horses are doing under me. I am more efficient and effective in how
I use my body which makes it much easier for me to use the aids I
need to with my horses. My saddle fitter remarked this last visit
that I must be sitting very balanced in my saddle because my saddle
was wearing very evenly (which I consider a real testament to this
work). I was so impressed with how Rolfing improved what I could do
with my own body that after one of my horses re-injured himself, I
enrolled in a school and became certified so I can do this work with
horses!
I consider Patty a mentor and a friend and feel confident in
referring her to anyone who wishes to be able to use their body to
its fullest."

"I took my son to see Patty because of his asthma. He loves sports
but was having trouble with his breathing and overall stamina while
playing soccer. Patty worked with him for a number of sessions and
helped him to be able to expand his chest cavity so that he could
breathe more fully. This ultimately improved his lung capacity and
stamina. My son told us that before the Rolfing work, he hadn't
realized how much he wasn't "able to breathe". Although my son is a
gifted player, before this work his coach was planning to cut him
from next year's team. It's very sad to realize, if it had not been
for the Rolfing work, my son would have lost the opportunity to play
soccer with his team because he wasn't able to fully play a whole
game."

"My physical therapist introduced me to Rolfing following months of
traditional PT that did not address constant leg and back pain. At
first I was skeptical about Rolfing. What is this strange word?!
Yet, I contacted Patty and we talked about Rolfing. She patiently
answered all my questions and did not pressure me into anything. I
scheduled an appointment and I was not disappointed.
At our 1st meeting, we discussed my spinal surgeries and current
pain issues. Patty was very professional and compassionate. The
Rolfing itself was more like a firm-massage that targeted the source
of a problem. Patty was careful not to induce pain and sought
feedback on what's working and what did not. Its amazing how tight
hips and legs can affect the lower-back! After my first session, I
could feel some immediate relief and movement in my back and legs.
Decidedly, I agreed to a follow-up appointment. After multiple
appointments, I could feel the benefits of Rolfing and the relief
became more enduring.
Although Rolfing could not eliminate all of my issues, it was very
helpful in getting my body moving more normally again. I would
recommend Rolfing to anyone and especially Rolfing by Patty."

"After very serious fractures to the right humeral head from a bad
fall from a horse, I endured two surgeries, scar tissue and many
months of physical therapy over an 18th month period. As I had
reached a standstill, the orthopedic doctor then told me to stop
physical therapy and to go live my life for six months to see if I
could regain any further mobility. Frustrated as I could lift my arm
to about the halfway point, I began searching for other forms of
treatment to help me gain the range of motion and full use of my
arm. After a conversation with the chiropractor who suggested I try
Rolfing, I went online and googled it. I found that Patty had a
practice nearby. I called her and explained what had happened to my
arm and asked if Rolfing might help me. She replied that she
couldn't guarantee it but would certainly try her best. After one
visit I was amazed that my shoulder had now dropped back to a more
normal position. With each visit, Patty was able to release more of
the fascia and continued to break up scar tissue. She would also
give me suggestions to help gain proper movement. After a few months
with Patty, I stopped to see my physical therapist to show him what
Patty had accomplished and asked if he thought he could now make
further progress with my arm and shoulder. He was astonished at the
difference, as were all the other PT's in that practice. Working
with Patty and my physical therapist for another 6 months or so,
brought amazing results. I now had full range of motion back. When I
returned to the doctor, he was elated with what we had accomplished.
While I credit the orthopedic surgeon and the physical therapist for
their knowledge and skills, I tell everyone without Patty and
Rolfing I would still be struggling to use my arm and to do everyday
things."

"I have been happily using Patty Murphy's exceptional and
professional Rolfing services since November of 2011. All I can say
is wow- she is truly amazing with her technique! I researched
Rolfing and found Patty online at the Princeton location. From my
first session, I walked out of her office feeling like a million
bucks. I have been suffering from pain from herniated discs in my
back and plantar fasciitis for years- but one session with Patty and
I was nearly pain free. I have since been seeing her almost every
week and she has been tackling all sorts of problems of mine like
poor posture and my one leg that is shorter than the other. I highly
recommend Patty Murphy to anyone who has not found traditional
medicine to be the answer- you won't be disappointed!"

"I have had Rolfing over the last several years and have found it to
be wonderful. I have scoliosis and Rolfing has been so beneficial. I
went through the 10 sessions, but go back regularly to get adjusted.
I don't live in NY, but much of my family does. One of my sisters
told me she suffers from shoulder pain and sciatica and was always
in pain though rarely complained. I had mentioned Rolfing to her,
but she was unfamiliar with it. She had been to doctors,
chiropractors and had massages to no avail. So, I looked on the
internet for a Certified Rolfer near her and found Patty Murphy. I
booked and paid for my sister’s first session. She was so
impressed after just one visit; she paid for 5 more in advance and
eventually went through the 10 session series, and goes back for
additional sessions. What I notice from just talking to her on the
phone is she seems perkier and more awake and alert. She is like a
different person. I was so pleased for her. She takes care of
everyone but herself. So I am grateful she had a good experience and
feels so much better. Many, many thanks, I do so appreciate it. You
Rolfers are wonderful and I am happy to say more and more people are
becoming aware of what "Rolfing" is. I am always quick to recommend
people to a Certified Rolfer. Thank you Patty!"

"All I can say is that I tried every treatment imaginable to help me
with plantar fasciitis and was about to have surgery. Tried Rolfing
with Patty for 10 sessions in desperation and as a last ditch
effort. And I am cured of the pain in my foot. I am a believer!
Thank you, Patty!"
