I am forever grateful to Rob for being part of helping me get over chronic sciatica pain. He worked on me one time and it was worth a thousand sessions.

A gentle approach and a kind heart fill the time with Rob.
His global teachings from leaders across a multitude of bodywork therapy modalities are the foundation of his presentations.
Learning techniques to OPEN and make space throughout my body, which over time has become compressed and misdirected, is a lesson I will forever be grateful for!
I would suggest everyone with a body seek Rob’s educational and bodywork lessons.

Rolf Structural Integration is such an art-form that I wish everyone gets an opportunity to experience and explore in their healing journey. I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Rob Martin at Rolf Bodyworks in CT. His attention and skill in the art of Rolf Structural Integration is incredible, a true healer that listens and meets you exactly where you are in your body and in the moment. I am fortunate to have worked with Rob over the past few years and would recommend him to anyone, no matter where they may be in their healing journey. Personally, I would recommend the 10 Series and I promise you will feel the transformation occur. Thank you again, Rob !

I saw Rob for the Rolfing ten series and finished the course with a deeper and healthier connection to my body. Besides decreased physical discomfort, Rob also helps you become aware of movement patterns that you might not be conscious of, and tips and tricks to move in different ways. There is also a strong sense of peace and relaxation while working with Rob, thanks to both his expertise in bodywork and the calming studio environment. I look forward to continuing to work with him in the future!

Working with Rob over the course of 10 sessions was such a meaningful experience and something I truly looked forward to every week. The sessions shifted the way I think about movement and helped me develop a deeper awareness and connection within myself. I left each session feeling more grounded, mindful, and appreciative of what my body is capable of. Rob created an environment that felt supportive, thoughtful, and genuinely transformative.

Rob Martin is this incredibly gentle and loving soul and I’m lucky enough to call him my friend!
I’ve received bodywork from him in the form of traditional massage at a spa, and Thai Massage at his studio location. I’ve also had the pleasure of taking some of his classes!
There’s no doubt upon meeting this man that he is well-seasoned in many styles of bodywork. But what drives me the most to his work is that he’s incredibly authentic, and insightful, and creates a safe container for you to be seen.
His main background is in Rolfing and he will answer any/all questions you may have about it! I am lucky to have received my first session today! And phew!!! That was AMAZING. I encourage anyone who wants to receive some incredible bodywork to take a beautiful scenic drive to his location. You won’t be disappointed!

Rob is one of the most knowledgeable therapeutic massage therapists I have ever worked with. He helped me heal a shoulder injury and continues to help me maintain overall body health. For this, I am truly grateful. His wonderful clinical space is so peaceful and relaxing that I always look forward to coming. Spread the word and try this wonderful program Rob offers at his little slice of heaven at Rolf Bodyworks.

“What surprised and pleased me the most about the work was how much more connected to my environment I felt afterward. I had expected to have my body feel generally more relaxed and comfortable, but I didn’t realize that it would be more about my awareness of how I was moving in and connecting with my surroundings. One of my favorite changes in my body/mind has been my driving style — prior to my bodywork I always felt I needed to get my body very close to the steering wheel and pedals (looking like a maniacal crazy lady behind the wheel on the verge of road rage.) After several sessions, I was suddenly pushing my seat back so that my legs and arms extended comfortably from my body and my knees were no longer dangerously close to the dashboard! A year later I am still sleeping better, breathing better, and feeling more mindful of my body and where it is in the world.”

“I came to Rob after having been to many massage therapists, as well as four Rolfers. What is unique about Rob is his diverse background of therapy styles. I do not know of another person who offers Thai Massage, Structural Integration, as well as several massage styles. This diverse training background allows Rob greater insight into areas that benefit from massage work.” “One instance, still with me today, is when I saw Rob for pain in my hips and lower back most noticeable after going for my daily walk (this was about three years ago). After watching me walk back and forth in the room, Rob noticed that I had changed my walking pattern. Instead of using the ball of my foot to support the majority of my steps, I tended to walk more on the outsides of my feet. This sent pain up my ankles, to my knees, finally settling in my hips and lower back. Rob‚s detailed explanation of Toe Foot (the big toe and 2 adjacent toes) and Heel Foot (the remaining 2 toes), is what made the diagnosis so useful.” “Rob suggested that I walk shorter distances (at first) being conscious to keep my step firmly planted in Toe Foot and resist the temptation to roll my foot toward the outside or into Heel Foot. To use his words Toe Foot should act as the canoe and Heel Foot should play a support role, like an outrigger, not the other way around. I became aware of this, and gradually I was able to walk longer distances. After about three months, the pain that went up my legs, and into my lower back was gone, and I could walk for as long as I wanted!” “To this day I am consciously aware of this explanation and have not reverted back to walking on the outsides of my feet. I continue to be very impressed with the way Rob sees into a problem area with my body and comes up with insightful solutions. This is Rob’s greatest asset as a bodyworker.”
