Steve Kraft Structural Integration

Steve Kraft is a great and the best healer.
I fell down some stairs, twisting my ankle badly, and saw Steve for a rolfing session. He made me feel 100 times better and he was able to calm the tremors I had with his amazing hands. Steve is simply the best, like Tina said. .. better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone I’ve ever met.
One other time in my life, I could not stop shaking was after I had been hit at full-​speed by a large male skier. I was taken to the mountain resort clinic by a toboggan by ski patrol after the collision, and I was put on a cold hospital bed as my body shook uncontrollably.
Unlike Steve who was able to calm my nerves nearly immediately, the M.D.s instead gave me a steroid which made my condition worse. Steve has a very soothing and calming voice and a very calm demeanor. He does crossfit, so he has extremely strong hands and arms.
Structural integration or rolfing isn’t massage or chiropractic — it is way better. And Steve is the best rolfer ever.

Steve is a gifted bodyworker. His work is truly effective. I got immediate relief, and lasting results.

Steve is amazing! I came to him with knee and lower back pain and have seen him a few times. He has been able to drastically improve my posture and my pain. Highly recommend him to anyone who has dealt with lower back pain!

I was curious about Rolfing and I’m glad I tried it out. I’d never had serious bodywork done before even though I’m full of old injuries from a stress fractured vertebra to multiple injuries from falling 20+ feet. I’m only halfway through the 10-​series and my body already feels changed for the better. Steve is professional, excellent at what he does, and is a really friendly person all around. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Steve Kraft totally HEALED me. From the time I was 20 (when I flipped over my bike bars and got a convex curve in my neck) to 29 (the age when I did my 10 sessions with Steve) I was pretty much stuck with going to a chiropractor weekly to stay out of acute pain. And I was going to GREAT chiropractors, but with no lasting improvement. In fact, what drove me to seek a real solution was that my root condition was getting worse– my had slipped a disk and needed acupuncture to be able to get out of bed the pain was so bad. Now, I am 38, its been nine years after my treatment from Steve, and I have only gone back for a Rolphing tune up once every year or so. I feel great, its easy to stay in shape just walking a couple times a week. My body feels resilient. Also, re. pain concerns, so not an issue. Steve is particularly sensitive and truly empowers his clients to be part of the process. I always felt safe and in the drivers seat. Please do not miss the opportunity to work with Steve and be your best physical self you can be.

Steve got rid of my back pain quick, and it was amazing how he worked on places that I didn’t realize were painful or problematic until he began working. A sign of an amazing practitioner is his ability to find the origin of the problem and resolve that, then everything else easily falls into place. Steve’s work is focused and accurate, his hands inform his depth of knowledge and level of expertise. He embodies the meaning of the work well, which creates an environment for the body to come to balance. Have no doubts, go see Steve.

I wish I had done these 10 sessions years ago. Steve has been masterful with me and I thank him

Steve is one of the best rolfers I have ever experienced. I went through the 10 series and after I felt like energy that was previous stuck in my body was just gone. There was a radiance and easeful flow to my body and the little aches and pains that I experienced before were just gone. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone. He is supremely conscious of what each individual needs to balance their body. I have had rolfing before and all I could remember was the pain from the treatment. Steve’s methods are not that!

I did the traditional 10 sessions with Steve this year and it was amazing. (Tho, work picked up and I kept having to cancel that final 10^th session!) If you are interested in Rolfing, and the healing it can provide, I highly recommend Steve. He made me very comfortable within the process and the sessions. Rolfing has made a significant impact on my posture, body, and overall well-​being!

I’ve suffered chronic back pain due to scoliosis since puberty. Structural Integration has had the most positive impact of all the many therapies that I have sought to rid myself of pain from scoliosis and fibromyalgia. Steve is an excellent practitioner! He brought incredible changes in my body. The best part is that these changes have been long lasting and I can exercise again. Another advantage from S.I. is that my chiropractic adjustments hold much longer and I now live a pain free life. I’ve recently learned that Steve is also a well respected Rolfer amongst his colleagues. I highly recommend Steve as a S.I. practitioner.

Sessions with Steve were great. I learned a lot and my body thanks me every day for sticking to the commitment of completing the 10-​series. I searched a long time to find help for chronic back, shoulder, and neck pain through allopathic means, several modalities of chiropractic work, acupuncture, tui na, shiatsu, as well as rolfing by other practitioners. I like the physical changes that occur and the results seem to last. I highly recommend Steve for his knowledge, bodywork, response time, communications, and professionalism.

I have gone to Steve many times over a long period for both overall structural help and more specific symptoms. Steve is an expert in what he does. He is professional and puts people at ease. After a session my body feels invigorated, alive, loose, and I even feel taller. He can literally change the way your body moves by bringing back into it’s natural state.
If you haven’t had structural integration, I would highly recommend it, and Steve Kraft is a truly exceptional body worker who uses his great intuition to complement his training and education.

I have been curious about rolfing for years. I have an old sports injury that has negatively affected my back and spine. I have been hesitant to try rolfing because so many people have mentioned that it is painful and I have fibromyalgia and need a lighter touch when it comes to massage. I met Steve at the New Living Expo and told him my story. He assured me that he has worked on people with fibromyalgia before. Well, the next day I came with cash to try him out.
Steve was very friendly and we had a comfortable conversation while he worked on me. The pressure was a little uncomfortable, but not at all painful. He told me that he was working at a medium pressure for me. It was a pretty amazing experience! With only 30-​minutes of work on me, I got off the table with my shoulders settled lower and more back and my pelvis shifted slightly more forward. Suddenly it was easy for me to stand with the ‘correct’ posture that had been painful to attempt before.
I was also pleased with how long the effects lasted. I was mindful of my posture to try to build good habits back into the way I was holding myself so I’m sure that’s a factor. I’ve been so excited about it that I’ve told many of my friends. I’ve even asked, «See how much lower my shoulders are?» I guess it’s less obvious to them, but I’ve felt the difference.
I hope to get a full treatment from Steve soon.
