Hellerwork is based on the work of Joseph Heller, who also originally trained in Rolfing. He expended his work to include movement re-education. Hellerwork uses the same deep tissue manipulations as Rolfing, but includes verbal interactions that focus on the individual's personality traits and attitudes toward life. Hellerwork emphasizes structural balance and movement education. It also incorporates deep tissue massage, releasing fascial restrictions, postural alignment and body awareness. It's goal is to realign the body and release chronic tension and stress.
