Bodywork Architectures

It’s such a relief when someone can relieve your child’s pain! My daughter is a musician that came to Greg after suffering from tendinitis for 2+ months. Everything hurt her - from brushing her teeth to opening a door. And most important to her - she couldn’t play her fiddle! After the very first visit with Greg, she was out of pain. The results have continued to be astonishing after every session since then. She is post session 6 and feels like she has a whole new body! I highly recommend Greg - he works wonders! More...

I’m 13 years old and post session 6. I have had structural issues my whole life and nothing has given results anything close to rolfing. I have done PT, chiropractic, etc. Rolfing with Greg is now by far the first thing that I would recommend to someone with anything having to do with the body. Greg has fixed things that I didn’t even know functioned wrong. I had a compressed airway and there were thoughts of surgery. In 6 sessions I can now breathe better then I ever have in my entire life. I keep thinking after every session “what more could feel better and get fixed?” and every session my whole body unlocks more and feels looser. I was told to come to Greg by my orthodontist for my jaw but it has improved so many other aspects of my life. More...

I'm on session #7 and I cannot say enough good things about Greg and his wholistic philosophy towards healing the body. I had an extremely complex jaw surgery 2. 5 years ago that was very successful, but my healing seemed to reach a ceiling, and then not progress any further. I have been seeing chiropractors, PTs, massage therapists & more my whole life and yet I have continued to have pain and discomfort. 7 sessions in with Greg and he has made more positive *long-lasting* changes to my body than years of work with other bodywork professionals.

The day I basically crawled into Greg’s practice was a game changer! I had an old back injury that despite 3xs a week Chiropractor adjustments, and bi-weekly massages, and Physical Therapy, my herniated disc L5-S1 was still affecting my quality of life! After the first session I was optimistic that Greg might be helpful, by session 5, I was convinced he was the best voodoo magic I had seen! However I found myself doing more and even ended up throwing my back out again while horseback riding. However before I met Greg it was almost impossible for me to think about riding. I had a moment where I was panicking that maybe this wasn’t going to work either. Greg yet again with his knowledge and encouragement to have me finish the 10 sessions lead me to feeling better than I had in years! I started in February and completed my sessions in middle of March. I’ve been riding and running, and I’ve not been in pain at all! He’s helped my riding improve and his knowledge of his practice has shown me that he can align my body to be so effective from swimming laps in pools, running and horseback riding! I’m so glad I trusted him! I’m forever grateful for his work as it has allowed me to return to living my life fully every day!! He’s now part of my regime that helps keep my body working and improving!! I highly recommend him! More...

Before seeing Greg I had whole body aches and pains. I also slipped and fell on ice in February and injured my neck. After doing PT for my neck it wasn't getting better. That's what brought me to try rolfing, if I never fell I might not have ever started doing the series of sessions. Now post session 7 I wish I had started years ago! I was skeptical at first because I didn't know much about rolfing. Greg is great at explaining what he is doing and what is going on with your body. The sessions are intense in some spots for me where I'm the most tight but everyone will have a different experience. After session 1 I felt instant relief in my neck and shoulders. My shoulders felt a lot more relaxed and I could move my neck easier without pain. I was AMAZED on how quick the change was and how it actually helped. I couldn't wait to do all 10 sessions!Each session I have felt better and better. Just finishing session 7 where Greg does inside your mouth work and nasal work. The mouth work was the most intense part of all the sessions so far but when I left I could open my mouth wider without popping and grinding in my jaw. I could also breathe better after the nasal work. I couldn't believe it! Now after 7 sessions I don't have knee pain like I used to, I can actually get through a day of work without my knee hurting. I feel like my feet are more level to the ground and my shoulders aren't elevated like they used to be. Now I feel like I can do much more physical activity that I haven't been able to do in years.On top of the amazing whole body work Greg does he is a very professional, highly skilled, overall cool guy. He is very easy to ask questions to and is a very interesting person to talk to while he is doing the sessions. I would recommend Greg to everybody who has any kind of body pain or previous injury. Thank you Greg for everything! More...

This review is 2 years overdue. Greg has been instrumental in my ability to get back into daily life, the gym without being in constant pain or wondering when the next back flare up would be. I sought him out after my trainer had notice some imbalances in my general stance and limitations in the gym. It is a complete full body approach based on functionality that unfortunately cannot always be found in modern day medicine. I wish I would have started seeing him starting out as an athlete. I would recommend anyone, any age with any level of pain, or just as general care for your body! More...

Greg has significantly improved my body architecture. I went to him for three issues: a neck pull that I had for over 6 months; a constant lower back twinge and a dysfunctional jaw. I'm happy to say that my neck is 90% improved; my back pain is gone and I can now eat a sub without having to take three tries to get my mouth wide enough to take a bite!!! If you are suffering from a chronic or acute condition, I would highly recommend that you give him a call. If you are contemplating surgery, try a kinder and gentler approach first. More...

I wish I had found something like Bodywork Architectures a long time ago when I was a competitive athlete. Even when I began playing sports as a kid, my structural issues were already present/developing, and this technique would have made a world of difference. My feet have overpronated for most of my life, and I have found sitting up straight noticeably difficult since middle school. In high school, shin splints stopped me from running competitively. In college, I cross-country skied for a DI school, and once again, injury (this time, shin splints and a very painful, recurring rib injury that received various, inconsistent diagnoses and treatments) eventually forced me to stop. I was told that, to continue skiing without pain, I would need to have surgery to remove my rib or receive periodic injections to the affected area to numb the pain. I had lost a lot of hope at that point, but I also thought that most of these problems were normal. I also believed that I would be living with these issues for the rest of my life, so I adjusted my expectations and slowly began cutting out the activities and sports I enjoy to accommodate all my “injuries”.The change Bodywork Architectures has made has been absolutely incredible. I never would have expected that my body could improve so much. After the first session, I was an inch taller (!!) and could hold myself upright without trying. I once caught a glance of myself in the mirror and thought for a split-second that I was looking at another person because my structure looked so different. Session two left me feeling lighter and looser than ever before. I am still amazed that Greg could transform so much of my structure in so little time. A few days after my third session, I ran for the first time and WOW!! I think I ran properly for the first time (in my life..?), and I felt so fast! I’ve never been able to run on my mid/front foot before, but it felt right and super springy. I tried to keep the pace slow, but my body really wanted to run fast, and I could do it so much more easily. Now, my legs are really sore because I used muscles I haven’t in a long time (or at least in a different way). For the first time, I felt like my muscles worked to move me forward. My feet are not overpronating, and my shins did not hurt (and I imagine that they will not in the future). My rib issues are connected to my back issues, which have improved immensely now that I can sit and stand upright with no effort (there are pictures on Google of me skiing that really show how bad things were...). And, all of the changes from these sessions have stayed with me. My body is continuing to change for the better between sessions as I continue living and moving.I stopped thinking of myself as a runner a while ago and am not as in shape for running as I used to be, but I am so excited to see where I could go now. The change to my structure has really shown me how hard both running and moving in general were for me before. And I wonder how much faster I could be (running, skiing, or whatever!) when I am actually training.I hope that writing this review will encourage others with similar experiences to try this method. Greg has made me hopeful again about what I can do and where I can go. I am so excited to see what changes the rest of the series will bring! More...

My teenaged son, a ballet dancer, recently completed his series of sessions with Greg. It was an incredible process to witness. From the first few minutes, Greg saw both my son's restrictions and potential. He had lived with daily knee pain that took away from his dancing and limited enjoying everyday activities and work. Nearly all the pain has been resolved, his body and limbs have lengthened and found ease, and he is able to move again with freedom and joy.Greg's focus and attention in the sessions is noteworthy. He brings a wealth of experience and training to his work but is also ever-present to the individual. Greg took a lot of care to speak with my son about listening to his body and how to stay true to his good health in a physically demanding pursuit. Greg offered him a life-changing alternative to the "tough it out/ pain is gain" myth. I would highly recommend Greg to the parents of any young person. More...

I had been Rolfed previously, having done the 10 sessions about 20 years ago and I have always been sold on the technique. However, not all Rolfers are the same. I have tried various other people with ok results but Greg has totally restored my trust in the practice of Rolfing! I recently completed all 10 sessions and i am, as they say, a new woman! As a tennis player, I have had shoulder issues for the past few years. I went on and off to P. T. for 6 months with minor success. After just a few sessions with Greg, my posture was better and my shoulder no longer hurt. I think P.T. can be great, but sometimes, you just need to get realigned to let your body heal and stop hurting. My hips feel much much better as well. I couldn't be happier with the results. One last comment... I did not find the Rolfing sessions to be overly painful. One might experience a few minutes of discomfort, but the full sessions are generally relaxing and you feel so much better when it is done, that it is easy to forget any discomfort! Greg does a great job and knows what he is doing. More...

Greg Garcia is a bodywork genius. His training is in Ida Rolf's traditional Structural Integration which is now unfortunately a rare training (this has to change). I came to Greg with a range of physical problems induced from 40 years of very competitive sports of all kinds (a few examples: Australian rules football, cricket, basketball, volleyball, running, triathlon). What seemed to be a tibial stress fracture had put me out of action for over half a year and I was reduced to walking with a cane and using a boot. The pain was constant and teeth grinding and interfered with sleep. No one could identify the problem (PTs, orthopaedic surgeons). An MRI seemed to show nothing. Greg immediately saw the tibia as being rotated (the knee has an old ACL reconstruction which probably didn't help). In only three or four out of ten sessions, and using only part of those sessions, he was able to completely eliminate the pain by rotating the fascia. I had a raft of other problems that the ten sessions either mostly undid or greatly reduced including constant soreness throughout my upper body. Because of general injuries and a decades-long back problems (complicate by congenital issues), I have tried many, many treatment modalities over the years, everything I could find really. I have learned a great deal about the body and developed a dangerous level of self-knowledge (I can certainly fix some of my own problems). I can say that nothing comes remotely close to Rolfing. Before finding Greg, I fully knew that a good Rolfer can utterly transform the body. I have had one long term Rolfer before and they were able to save my back over a period of several years' work. But they had moved away, and I was unable to find a comparable person. I was utterly desperate by the time I came to see Greg and the first session showed me I was in the right place. And that there was hope. It's crucial to do the ten. I hadn't gone through it properly before but it's the right thing to do. The 7th session, where the head and neck are finally sorted out, is truly spectacular. There is no way I would have been able to recover without the techniques of Structural Integration in the hands of someone like Greg. Greg is young---in a few decades, I can't imagine how good he will be. More...

Working with Greg has been great! I had been worried that Rolfing would be too intense, and I had put off trying it despite having had Greg recommended to me by several people. Now, I'm post session 7 and my body feels better than it ever has. My range of motion has increased, old injuries are being helped, and I'm moving with greater ease and lightness than I have ever experienced. I'm so glad to have started this work with Greg and appreciate the special caring and skill that he brings to working with his clients. More...

Every time I work with Greg I am amazed by the instant feeling of lightness and rebalance I feel throughout my body. He is incredibly knowledgeable, comforting, and truly passionate about his work. This practice is much more than just a massage or physical therapy. He does not tell the body how to heal- he has a conversation with the body and offers it the space it needs to settle into and free itself- FOR GOOD! Anybody who has struggled with pain or misalignment of any sort in their body would benefit from Rolfing- and Greg is without a doubt an expert. He works from a very intuitive place, which lends itself to a peaceful and genuine experience. He is trustworthy, and is guiding me to a more enjoyable embodiment. I highly recommend working with him. More...

I just finished Session 3 with Greg yesterday, and the experience has completely shaken my perception of the body! As always, my current schedule includes lots of activity - daily yoga practice, and lots of dance with a performing company. About a month ago, I suffered a calf strain. I self-healed it 2x, but somehow I knew things just weren't right. I wondered if this problem was also related to the pain in my hip I was experiencing when hiking with my kids - even for short distances. I wondered if all of this was just a fact of life - getting older. Enter Greg. Last week, I decided to follow up on the advice of a friend to go see Greg and do the SI work. The process is brand new to me, so my understanding is limited, but the sensations that have resulted from the first 3 sessions are so powerful. so exciting! Of course I have been running around to yoga and dance, trying to describe it to my friends. I have compared it to that feeling of having your tights, or a pair of pantyhose on, that is bunched up somewhere; and how freeing it feels when you get that bunched up knot straightened out. Another time, I told someone it felt like my body was of piece of sheet metal, like that of a car body, and Greg was working dents out of it. I described the funny sensations of my upper body twitching uncontrollably as Greg was working on a lower limb. I got sessions 1 and 2 in before a long day of over 6 hours of intense physical activity. Even in the 6th hour, I was able to use my full range of motion. I did not get one foreboding feeling about that calf muscle possibly failing me. I told Greg it was as if he had put a new set of tires on my vehicle before I headed out on a cross-country trip. Without his help, I am certain that I would have had a blow-out this summer. And this is all just post session 3! Already, I am beginning to see how imperative this SI work is to those who study classical dance technique (and yoga). It makes perfect sense to me now that Ida Rolf, the Grand Mother of SI, began her work in the 1950's with the dance community. There are physical rules of dance technique that I have grasped intellectually, but could not coax out of my body, no matter how hard I concentrated and sweated. After the first 2 SI sessions, some of the range of motion had opened up, allowing me to use my muscles in EXACTLY the prescribed method - without any more effort -in fact, somewhat spontaneously!! I am really excited to see how the subsequent sessions will affect my dance execution, yoga, hiking, everything!!!!In summary, Greg is an adept student of a technique that not only respects the body, but gives the body's innate ability to heal itself the central role. Like the doctors I have seen in the past, Greg is not concerned with exactly how a specific injury came to be. However his approach to fixing the injury could not be more different. Instead of giving me drugs or performing surgery on a specific isolated site, Greg carefully follows a methodical process with the faith of a saint that addresses the body as a whole, complete, and ingeniously designed system that mere mortals have yet to fully comprehend. I think that there is a certain amount of humility that is required of a person in order to carry out the SI work authentically. Greg seems to have that, and I think that is rare - the balance of ability and humility. More...

Going into my first session I was skeptical because my mom had told me that rolfing was "very intense" and I should be careful. The anxiety around that unsolicited advice was a little overwhelming, but not being someone who avoids doing things out of fear, I went through with the session as planned. Greg is great at explaining the kind of work he does, and helped ease my anxiety right off the bat. While receiving the body work it was not like going to the PT or getting a massage, but rather something sort of in the middle -- it was less relaxing than a massage in the moment but more passive than going to PT. Still it was not uncomfortable; it felt good and at moments I felt major tensions release. When I got home from the session I felt very tired and heavy, and the day after I was quite sore in my shoulder blades where I imagine I've held a lot of tension in the past. My arms felt super flexible and loose after the work (almost plastic, in the "pliable" sense of the word), even with the soreness I experienced. They swing much more fluidly and evenly when I walk. Now, that a few days have gone by and the soreness has subsided, so has my anxiety about rolfing. Compared to other bodywork I've received, it is intense, but I can see its benefit and believe it will pay off in the end. More...

I am now post session 8, and I could write a very lengthy list of all that Greg has done for this 75-year old body. I walked in injured with four dislocated bones and muscles frozen or half frozen all over the place. Greg painlessly put the dislocated bones back in place as he worked on fascia. Now I have the body of a 25-year old. All the injuries are healed (some of them were incurred years ago), and now I walk and run like a child. I'm off the Ibupofren! I'm strong. I'm limber. I just feel great. I am at least one inch taller. Nice to look down on the world a bit! I'm also a ballet dancer (yes, anyone of any age can dance if motivated) and I dance with Farm to Ballet in Vermont. Thanks to Greg and SI, I am progressing much faster in ballet classes than before because now my body can do what it needs to do. Without pain or protest. Did I mention the much better breathing and sleep? More...

Post session 5 and am already experiencing major improvements from where I was a couple months ago. Before I started working with Greg, I was suffering from a frozen hip & lower back pain which was limiting my ability to exercise, sit for extended periods of time, sleep, and the source of a lot of anxiety. At it's worst, my injury and misalignment had worked its way up to my face and was causing my jaw to move involuntarily. Since working with Greg, I'm started to see results that PT, massage, and even seeing an orthopedic surgeon failed to achieve. My hip is finally starting to move again and releasing years of stiffness and tension. If you're like me and have been dealing with daily pain caused by injury or misalignment - Greg's your man. Do yourself a favor and let him help your body start down the path to health and alignment. More...

I came to Bodywork Architectures due to a full body pain which had compounded over time. Continual stiffness and the dull aches began slowly affecting my day to day routines: bike commutes to and from work, my sleep, and over all energy levels. During my first appointment, I was floored with how the single session he removed the pain and stiffness through adjustments to my upper my back and extremities. I was previously unable to move with my full range of motion through stiffness and lethargy. That night I had one of the most complete and well rested sleep that I have seen in months since the pain began. I booked my second appointment for the following day, where the lower half was worked on. Greg spotted my issue areas and treated misalignments I didn't realize I had; until I felt better immediately after. He applies the right amount of pressure to get the job done and keep the client feeling comfortably and relaxed. Mr. Garcia is very professional and each session is jointly run like a class. He explains in detail not only what is being treated, but how it relates to the system as a whole. You leave each session more physically aware of your own body with every step you take. I recommend this service to whomever is considering treatment, and have already recommended Bodyworks Architecture to both colleagues and staff at my local Gym for anyone who may need it. More...
