His ability to effect significant change in short order is, to say the least, impressive. I highly recommend Owen to anyone.

As a physician who works with patients who present with chronic, recurrent pain problems such as arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome and others, I found his work helpful personally and professionally. I recommend Owen without reservation.

It is difficult to adequately express the importance of this discovery in my daily life. I know now to relax, to allow my breath and my own thoughts to assist me in achieving maximum health and a life free of pain....more

I was Rolfed one and a half years ago at age 61. I am physically active but had accumulated two chronic pains that had been with me for 25 years. There was pain in the back of my neck and in one hip, all the time. Both became worse when I played hard. Muscle relaxants and or chiropractic treatments provided only temporary relief. Acupuncture felt good but didn’t get to the core of the issues, especially the hip. In addition and of course related, I had very tight legs and a locked up pelvis. Funny thing, I had always though my hard athletic body was a big plus. It turns out that hardness does not equal strength and my hardness came with both physical cost (pain) and emotional cost (pain).

Rolfing with Owen Marcus changed my life for the better. The chronic pains are now gone 95% of the time. They come back like a reminder when I over work or play too hard. The miracle is my body self heals in a day or two. My body is now loose enough to take care of itself.

I can now move with a freedom I have not known since my early youth. There is less effort and more flow. It is like swimming in air! I ski better with less work and greater joy. more

After neck surgery and therapy, it was only Rolfing that healed my neck.

After an automobile accident, I had a tremendous amount of pain in my neck and back. Medication and chiropractic sessions were not handling the problem. After one session with Owen, I immediately felt relief.

- An excerpt from an article about Owen in The Phoenix Gazette, March 31, 1989

I have problems with my neck. Last year [1989] I got Rolfed one time, and I didn't have a problem the whole year.

Years of sporting activities, injuries and a stressful career were having an impact on my physical mobility. Rolfing helped bring my body structure back into alignment while giving me back my flexibility.

Injuries from a motorcycle accident more than 30 years ago and a great deal of stress made whole body tight to the point that walking was painful. After being Rolfed by Owen, who also taught a new way of walking, I can walk and hike without pain, and my whole body is more relaxed.

I first saw Owen Marcus in 1990 at his office in Scottsdale, AZ. The improvements/changes to my body are very apparent, not only to myself, but to others. My Wife and I have continued to travel close to 1,000 miles 2-3 times a year for Owen to give us a tune up. It is worth the time and effort. I would highly recommend Owen Marcus.

Owen unlocked my tight body so I can access more of myself. I didn't know how badly I needed Rolfing until after I started. I am now less prone to injury, more able to relax - more connected to myself.

Rolfing helped me regain my balance physically, as well as mentally, after multiple foot and ankle surgeries. The psychological impact of losing my active lifestyle was equally as bad as losing the physical activity because of pain and imbalance. As a consequence of Rolfing, a lifetime of stress melted away, as Owen helped restore my balance and stamina.

Chronic hip pain was making it difficult to ski and play other sports. Owen's Rolfing enabled me to get back in shape.

For the first 40 years of my life I was physically able to run fast, jump, and do any lifting that I needed to do. I must say that I have often accomplished the latter activity in particular with a fair amount of unconsciousness over the years. Since I was thirty, I have been a teacher in a private school system, but still active as a gardener and a landscaper at home, and professionally. Once I started experiencing pain I took greater care in how I moved, went to various kinds of chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists and movement specialists. I knew about Rolfing but did not try it until I was about 50. By then I was generally in constant pain and my movement was limited by two herniated lumbar discs and sciatica. I finally chose to be Rolfed on a regular basis for a while by Owen Marcus, which I continue today, three years later, on a periodic basis. I feel twenty years younger, and am able to do many of the activities that I love to do, especially in the garden. I have sometimes surprised myself as to what I am actually able to physically accomplish. Through Rolfing I deepened my understanding of how the emotions affect the physical body. Besides being able to move without pain, I have more energy, strength and move differently. My experience of being Rolfed has been an integral part of a new experience of life and an approach to it that I feel is positive and invigorating. I am extremely grateful for the experience.
