Become comfortable in your own skin.
Perhaps you’ve had a downtrodden life, or perhaps on paper everything about your life seems perfect, but a question remains: “Why can’t I feel fulfilled, uplifted, or stable?” Perhaps relationships are hard to start, or hard to move on from. Perhaps you know the changes you want to make, but you just can’t get started. There’s no sense that you’re moving forward in a meaningful way.
When other methods of personal growth leave you missing something, what is often left to do is to turn our attention to the body and integrate our physical components, so that we can better shape the life that moves through us. This is where Structural Integration comes in. Through the combination of movement with the manipulation of bones and soft tissue, you will gain space, mobility, core support, and physical ease. The result is a new way of relating to yourself, and of moving through the world.
Hi, I’m Joe Perullo. I support people with a curiosity for change by shifting the structural components of their bodies. Let’s explore what it’s like to inhabit your body anew.
Those of you who have already tried a lot of things, here’s something different. Here’s something that makes you think, that touches deep waters, and gathers the pieces that are being pulled in different directions.

Y'all. Get the 10 series. Nothing has been as deeply effective as this. Not massage. Not acupuncture. Not PT. Not medication. Not OT. Not Reiki. Not therapy. Not diet. THIS IS IT! The sessions are long and the attention you get is 100%. Joe is professional, safe-feeling, comfortable, sweet, and very very adept. The experience of getting ROLFing / Structural Integration defies language. You have to feel it to understand.

I had been slowly recovering from some pretty bad back injuries, and Joe's treatment helped to eliminate much of my chronic pain and stiffness. Before treatment many exercises would exacerbate my pain, but now I am able to do exercises and stretches on my own, and do them more effectively. So even now, months after my last session, it continues to be beneficial. In addition to the body work, it was also an opportunity to learn about the structures of the body and form better habits around moving and using the body. On top of that, Joe is very friendly, communicative, respectful of boundaries, and easy to get along with.
Completing the 10 Series with Joe really made me feel like a new, much improved person. Each session increased my insight and understanding as well as my freedom of movement. Joe does this work with such focus and mindfulness that it becomes a process of discovery.

I wholeheartedly recommend Joe. After a two year journey searching for relief from back pain and exhausting the “prescribed” offerings of what should provide me with relief, I never lost the idea of coming back to Rolfing, which served me so well almost 20 years ago. It took me a while to find a new rolfer. By the grace of a higher power, I came across Joe. For me, this technique is a game changer. If YOU want to take back charge - Joe is the man to get you started on your journey to living pain free.
Don't overthink. Just go.
I was looking for help with my scoliosis. I started doing the 10 series and I immediately noticed a difference in my chronic neck and back pain. I felt like I walked through life more aligned mentally and physically after every session. It’s been almost 6 months since my last session and I can say that I barely ever complain about bodily pain anymore, and when I do feel pain I have better ways of treating it now.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Invest in yourself with this kind of gentle & restorative bodywork! I saw Joe Perullo for the structural integration/Rolfing 10 session series. Right before we were about to start, I sustained a knee injury that put me on crutches. When I wrote to Joe asking if we should postpone my first session, he responded that I should still come because this work would likely help me to recover from the injury faster. To my amazement, I entered the first session on crutches and left walking! I still needed to use crutches while the injury healed but I was no longer frozen in my body, and able to recover range of motion not only in the area of the injury, but in the full scope of my body. Joe's work allowed me to get back in touch with areas of my body that have been ignored and-or overworked from years of chronic pain. I think of the 10 session series as a reset, one that frees you up from the hardened pathways of habitual movements of your daily life and cause your body to become stuck. You almost think that you're just stuck that way because of age or demands of daily life, but this is the kind of body work that breaks your thinking out of that mold and gives you the ability to recover and reconnect to movement. There were many times I left a session or in between sessions where I felt like I regained mobility that I hadn't felt (or forgotten I had) for 20 years. Joe also told me towards the end of our time that the effects of the 10 sessions would likely continue to unfold for the next six months, and as I write this, I can say that it was true! It is good, lasting work and Joe is very skillful.
