  • Rolfing Structural Integration

    Rolfing, also known as Structural Integration, is a form of bodywork developed by Dr. Ida Rolf that focuses on realigning the body's connective tissue (fascia) to improve posture, movement, and overall structural balance. Sessions typically involve a series of hands-on manipulations and movement education delivered over a recommended sequence—often ten sessions—aimed at releasing chronic tension patterns, reducing fascial restrictions, and restoring more efficient and natural alignment between the skeleton and soft tissues.

    Relevant benefits of Rolfing can include reduced chronic pain, especially in the back, neck, and shoulders; improved posture and structural alignment; increased range of motion and ease of movement; and enhanced body awareness that supports better movement habits. Many recipients also report greater breathing capacity, improved athletic performance or functional movement, and a sense of increased balance and ease in daily activities; because Rolfing addresses fascial restrictions that accumulate from injury, stress, and habitual patterns, benefits can be both immediate and progressively sustained with integration into posture and movement.

  • Gua Sha (Scraping)

    Gua Sha is a traditional East Asian healing technique that uses a smooth-edged to vigorously scrape the skin in long strokes, promoting circulation, lymphatic drainage, and the release of muscular tension; practiced on the face and body, it can reduce puffiness, improve skin tone, and ease pain by stimulating microcirculation and breaking up stagnant energy, and when performed correctly by a trained practitioner or with proper at-home guidance, it offers a soothing, restorative complement to holistic wellness routines. Also known as ‘releasing wind’.

  • Internal Martial Arts/ Qigong

    Internal martial arts and qigong are gentle, meditative movement systems rooted in Chinese traditions that emphasize the cultivation and balanced flow of qi (vital energy) through coordinated breath, posture, intent, and soft circular movement. Internal martial arts—such as tai chi, bagua, and xingyiquan—prioritize internal development, using relaxed alignment, mindful awareness, and subtle power generation rather than brute strength; qigong encompasses a broader set of exercises and meditative practices designed to regulate breathing, refine energy circulation, and harmonize mind and body through simple postures, flowing sequences, and stillness.

    Regular practice of internal martial arts and qigong supports cardiovascular and respiratory health through gentle aerobic conditioning and enhanced breath control, improves balance and proprioception which reduces fall risk, and promotes musculoskeletal flexibility and joint mobility with low-impact movements. These practices also lower stress and anxiety by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system and cultivating mindful awareness, improve sleep quality, boost immune function, and can enhance focus, emotional resilience, and overall sense of well-being, making them suitable for a wide range of ages and fitness levels.

  • "I feel quite fortunate to have met Patrick. It was like running into a character from a story one reads. About the enigmatic person who traveled around Asia and came back to impart the knowledge he had gained. Just a few hours with Patrick will improve your understanding of the Chinese internal arts in ways you couldn’t imagine!"

  • "I am 63 years old and have been to numerous doctors because of a “balance/sense of rocking” disorder called Chronic Subjective Dizziness that I was diagnosed with 11 years ago. I have tried physical therapy, chiropractic care and massage therapy and nothing has really helped until I found Patrick Gilman. After only 2 sessions, I have already noticed a huge difference as I am much more balanced and the rocking sensation has subsided substantially!"

    —Carter Warren

  • "Patrick has a very approachable and gentle demeanor which makes learning from him very pleasant as he is also extremely skilled and communicates in a personable manner. How he communicates feedback to me with my forms may be informative, but is also poetic which helps me frame his instruction in a fresh, interesting way. What he offers is very valuable and should be highly welcomed."

    —Kery Mauvais

  • "I went to Patrick for tailbone, hip, and sacral pain. After 2 sessions they are all but gone. My background includes being a massage therapist and craniosacral provider, but Rolfing is the only technique that has taken my pain away."

    —Sally Chamberlain

  • "I wasn’t afraid of hurting him. Not because it wasn’t possible, but due to his inner being’s state of consciousness. I am grateful that Patrick has a wealth of inner spirit that lends itself well to both martial and healing arts. He is a cool dude."

    —Joshua Maichan

  • "Patrick’s depth of knowledge and experience in the Chinese internal martial arts is a rare find. With a kind and generous nature, he focuses on uncovering the student’s latent potential. His understanding and guidance helped me unlock deeper levels of skill in my art, the sign of a true teacher."

    —Garth Reynolds

  • "I had an incredible experience with Patrick Gilman! From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease and well cared for. The practitioner is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly understands how to address deep-rooted issues in the body. After just a few sessions, I noticed significant improvements in my posture, mobility, and overall well-being. The personalized approach and dedication to my progress were outstanding. I highly recommend Gilman Rolfing to anyone seeking relief from chronic pain or simply looking to improve their body alignment. You won't be disappointed!"
