Waterstone Rolfing

Waterstone Rolfing®

Structural Integration

My name is Susan Waterstone. I am a Certified Rolfer®, licensed massage and bodywork therapist, as well as a certified yoga instructor. I am happy to be offering my Rolfing® services in Wilmington, NC and surrounding areas of the beautiful Cape Fear region.

I first received Rolfing in 1997 after a skiing accident left me with lower back pain and sciatica. I tried chiropractic manipulations, physical therapy, orthopedic services, ice (and more ice), immobilization, and rest. While these therapies were beneficial, I was truly impressed with the benefits I received from my Rolfing sessions. Chronic patterns of tension in my body were relieved during the treatments; and I believe those old patterns were the reason my lumbar back was primed for injury in the first place.

My background is in pharmaceutical sciences, however, I have always had a passion for natural healing modalities. I retired from my pharmacy practice in 2011 to purse my passion for alternative health studies. My training in anatomy and physiology served me well as I shifted my career into a more holistic field. I took my yoga practice to a new level with yoga teacher training, and studied Thai yoga therapy and reflexology while attending massage therapy school. After graduating from massage school, I was accepted in to the Rolf Institute® of Structural Integration and graduated in 2014.

Before and after

Testimonials

As a professional musician, my experience with a 10-Series with Susan was nothing short of life-changing. I am taller and move more freely, and I now play my instruments with greater ease and less tension.

Susan Waterstone is a professional who could teach other teachers in her field. She is a good listener to find the root of your problem areas. She helps me to understand what body parts to use during lifting or walking.
