Michael Valenti is a Certified Rolfer in Beaverton

As a Certified Advanced Rolfer?, I help my clients restore their body's natural movement through structural alignment interventions and holistic bodywork. Every body is different, so the starting point, speed of transition, and outcome of the work will be unique to each client. ### ###   ### ### Education ### ### · The Rolf Institute® of Structural Integration, Boulder, Colorado ### ### · Primitive reflexive movements (embryological and early development) ### ### · Space awareness body-mapping with SourcePoint Therapy® ### ### · Cranial Sacral Therapy ### ### · Diaphragmatic releasing and balancing ### ### · Yoga, Thai Chi and Qi-Gong ### ### ### After years of athletics?gymnastics, two marathons, acrobatics, dancing, lacrosse, fencing and music?I began to notice pain in my body. I found myself wanting a more balanced and individual approach to body development and awareness. In my search for sustainable health, I received the Rolfing® Ten Series and have been studying and advocating Rolfing® Structural Integration ever since. ### ###   ### ### When the body is out of structural balance, movement is harder and often causes excessive wear and pain. Through Rolfing® I felt as though the forces of gravity were on my side. Instead of working against my body, everyday movements became easier and pain-free. As my body slowly changed (and continues to change), my ideas about health, healing and personal growth have been transformed. ### ###   ### ### Along with relief from pain from a sports injury, I found a renewed sense of enjoyment in simple daily activities. I was amazed?not only had the pain subsided, but I found a calming sense of ease and grace in my movements. I want to help you find the same. ###
