Remember this post? Well, I promised before and after pictures when all my sessions were over with. A month or so after my last session our Rolfer gave me a CD of my pictures. As soon as I took a look at them I was both amazed and disappointed. It was crazy to see all the amazing changes I had made in my alignment and disappointing to see the changes I had made in weight. I hadn't really noticed how much weight I'd gained since we got married and the pictures threw me off. I wanted to post these pictures when I got them in March, but I didn't know if I was ready to show you. Also, your body continues to change long after your sessions are complete. They say your body is adapting to the changes for up to a year. Which means my body is still changing and getting better.
Anyway, there are three pictures at each angle. The first one was taken in October of 2009 right before my first session. The second one was taken in January of 2010 right after my last session. The final picture was taken earlier today on our own camera. These photo's are completely natural. I'm not wearing make-up, I'm standing completely relaxed in every single one, and none of the photo's have been edited. So, here I am. Completely exposed ;)
If you would like to take a closer look, click on the photo's to enlarge.
The third photo is at a little bit of a different angle. Notice all the changes in my face, (besides the weight changes ;). The craziest part of getting Rolfed is when they realign your face...all of it. I've told a lot of you my horror stories about that. In the middle photo it's only been a couple weeks since my face was done. It still had a lot of adjusting to do on its own.

Notice my right shoulder compared to my left.

Look at my mid section in all the photo's. You'll notice in the first photos' it is short and compact. One of my favorite things about getting Rolfed was how it elongates you, especially in the middle of your body.

Notice my chest, shoulders, and neck. Remember, I'm completely relaxed in all the photo's.

A lot of my problem's were in my lower body. My hips were really bad and my left ankle. These two things really affected my knees. You can't see any of these problems in the photo's though.
Anyway, if any of you are considering getting Rolfed, I highly recommend it. It has really changed me for the better.

That is so neat! The comparison from the first picture to the one today is crazy. Is it just 10 sessions? How much did it cost for you to get it done?
You definitely look healthier. Your posture and everything is completely different, in a good way, obviously.
So C said to me "when we have lots of money are you going to get rolfed?"
I said, "I think if it can get rid of my TMJD for good I'll totally do it!"
I'm SO sick for facial/neck pain, I'm ready to be done with that all!
I'm still scared of it a little. I'm not one for pain. C likes to point out that I HAVE had three children and that I can probably handle it :)
Thanks for posting the pics, that probably wasn't easy to do but it sure gives us an idea of it's amazing abilities to work wonders!
