Abigail Romanach“Joel's Rolfing has helped me tremendously with my knee injury. After a terrible skiing accident I was left unable to walk or run without pain. I have tried PT and other strengthening exercises, but they did little to help. Before opting to undergo surgery i decided to get Rolfing done based on a suggestion from a co worker. I'm glad I did! After the first session with Joel I felt a significant reduction in pain. After the third session the pain was nearly gone. The sessions are expensive, but well worth it. Joel is incredibly skilled, I highly recommend him!”
Claire Françoise Delevingne“I spent hundreds of dollars on doctors, chiropractors and massage therapists, and I felt like nothing would ever help me with my scoliosis and consequent digestive issues and neck pain.
I have heard about Rolfing and even received a session once. I found it to be painful and not really helpful. However, after having seen Joel and experienced his Rolfing for a couple of months, I can now say that he is only a skilled bodyworker/rolfer, but an actual healer. I feel a sense of strength and freedom I had almost forgotten about.
I now have the energy to walk for hours, feeling light and at the same time sustained by balance and strength.
This may sound weird, but he also worked inside my mouth and nose, which completely freed my neck and opened up my breathing.
My hope is restored and my money is well spent. Highly recommended !!”
Moksha McClure“Joel trained with the best. He is very intuitive and a master Rolfer. I highly recommend him to both those new to Rolfingand those (like me) that have had their 10 sessions.”
Jessica Wakauma Ausinheiler“”Since I temporarily relocated to Boston, I've been able to receive Rolfing sessions with Joel Gheiler. Each session is always an internal journey as he is able to find landscapes within my tissues that need attention. He pace is slow, considerate, professional, and intentional. It's obvious that he does more than just "work on you", he is heavily invested in your well being as an individual. I appreciate his work and presence.
“”After years of not being able to find relief from a persistent sports related shoulder pain, having Joel work on me for only two sessions has completely relieved me of this chronic ailment.
Joel's extensive knowledge, penchant for detail and unequivocal concern for his client's health and wellbeing puts him head and shoulders above the competition.
If you are looking for Rolfing in the Boston area or just another way to enhance your health and wellness routine, I highly recommend Joel being your choice.

Francis Koolman“After an intense Rolfing session, you feel like a new person... totally worth the trip to Boston”
Jikéridoux“Was "four legs" after the Indidjinus 2015 friday show, only 30 minutes of working on my broken body and I was able to walk again, ready for the next concert 2 days later at Chad's!
It was the first time I met the Boston Rolf : what I can say is "awesome" healing, love it!!

Amy ChanI was specifically looking for Rolfing and was glad to find Joel, who practices the Rolf Method, at Boston Rolf. The experience was excellent. He is incredibly technical and knowledgeable—seemingly able to identify what was going on in my body almost at a glance. What stood out just as much was how curious and attentive he was, really listening and responding to what my body needed rather than following a script. His touch was exactly right: deep enough to create real change, but always sensitive, respectful, and well-paced. I left feeling more aligned and confident that I was in the hands of someone who truly understands the body.
Don NaggieJoel is a very knowledgeable and professional Rolf practitioner. Highly recommended. I went in this summer for knee pain. He was able to diagnose the underlying problem and then work on my leg to relieve the strain allowing me to start running again. He also provided me with techniques I could use at home to prevent the issue from recurring. I’m very happy with his quality of work and grateful to be back on my feet.
Ankur ChablaniIf you’re looking for a Rolfing expert in Boston, look no further! I have been a massage therapist for over 20 years and I am very selective about who works on me. Joel has a wonderful touch and an expertise in hooking tissue to really address all the layers of connective tissue from the skin down to organs! Most importantly, he really cares about his clients and his work. It shows up as deep presence and an ideal container for healing. Highly recommend!
Jordana AlexisI cannot recommend Joel enough. He is an incredible Rolfer and has truly helped change my quality of life. I came to him with ongoing back problems, and from the very first session, I felt heard, understood, and cared for. His knowledge of the body, attention to detail, and intuitive approach made a huge difference in my pain and mobility. Each session brought real improvement, and I now feel stronger, more aligned, and more comfortable in my body. If you’re dealing with back issues or chronic pain, Joel is absolutely worth seeing.
Isidro AlexisAs a professional fighter, my body goes through constant stress, impact, and wear. Working with Joel has been a game changer. He is an exceptional Rolfer with a deep understanding of how the body functions under high physical demand. His work has helped me tremendously with recovery, alignment, and overall performance. I move better, feel stronger, and recover faster because of him. Joel is incredibly knowledgeable, intentional, and truly cares about long-term results. If you’re an athlete in Boston, especially in a high-impact sport, I can’t recommend him enough.
