TESTIMONIALS
"As a lifetime outdoor enthusiast, runner, skier, paddler, surfer and mt. biker I have amassed a plethora of injuries over the years. Fractures, strains, sprains and over-use injuries that have finally caught up with me. Now facing the big "5-0", I recently committed to a re-newed wellness focus on mobility and functional movement and strength. Tom Gellie, Functional Body owner and practitioner has provided me with the foundation that I need to perform at my best for the next 50 years! After just one session with Tom, I experienced significant changes, not only in my posture but also my range of movement. Subsequent sessions progressed methodically to unveil a body consciousness and posture that I had long forgotten, I have never felt younger or stronger. Thanks Tom !"

"Tom's careful and exacting methods have helped me ski better and feel great. His total, in-depth understanding of physiology and biomechanics from not only his training in Rolfing but also his accomplished career as highly credentialed ski pro is an obvious asset. He will exceed your expectations!"

"Rolfing really hurts - right? Well not when administered by the talented Tom Gellie! I work my body hard and enjoy a good remedial or deep tissue massage. Tom's hands are magic. After our first 1.5 hour session, my muscles felt longer and more mobile and my body was as close as it has ever been to proper alignment. Before and after photos don't lie! I'm looking forward to further sessions"

"As a long term yoga practitioner I was curious to see whether Tom could improve some persistent postural challenges and hip pain which my practice has not been able to shift. Tom spent the first part of the session exploring these issues and how they manifested in different poses. The next part of the session involved very subtle and gentle manipulation of the fascia. Tom has a very intuitive approach and I was aware of the therapy working on both the mental and physical level. Afterwards I felt a profound feeling of release and was able to stand in a perfect tadasana with straight shoulders and much reduced hip pain. I learned from Tom that some of my stiffness was due to issues in my shoulders which I had attributed to my back and that my hip pain was due to tight lower back muscles. The therapy is complimentary to my yoga and I look forward to future sessions."

"I feel so much better after seeing Tom for a Functional Body session. All the stuck and stiff areas from chronic injury are now ironed out and feel looser for the first time in years. I find the benefits last much longer with Rolfing (SI.I.) than when I have a massage. I'm looking forward to the next session. Thank you. Michelle.

"I was the first to admit I was a little skeptical of how much Tom could help me when he suggested I try Rolfing . After the first of several sessions I was definitely converted . Years of being active with sport , gym and keeping fit but neglecting mobility and recuperation had taken a toll on my body . Not only was there noticeble improvement in how my body felt after each session but i found Tom's background as a professional sports person combined with his holistic approach with how the body functions very helpful . Tom has the ability to relate to what your body is feeling and he gave me great insight to improving my sports functionality and mobility that also tied back into day to day activities . I couldn't recomend Tom more highly" Dave- Outdoor sports and fitness enthusiast
