Run don't walk to Bartley Body Integration! Jay Bartley is a Structural Integration practitioner that really knows what he is doing and in my opinion works with you to get noticeable results quickly. I only have great things to say about Jay and highly recommend his work to everyone I meet. (If I had more time I'd write a shorter review, but here it is...) Most people don't know what Structural Integration (SI) is or what it does and how exactly it can help them. I was one of those people until I experienced the entire 10 series. The short explanation from my understanding is- we've all heard of muscle memory, but what we have not heard is that muscle memory is actually stored in the fascia and not the actual muscle. So SI is a massage type physical manipulation of the fascia that allows it to release, open up to receiving blood flow from the body and therefore it heals stronger than before. I included video of Jay Cutler (football player turned 4 time Mr. Olympia winning bodybuilder getting a form of SI done) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2pfFrYnqGU also a great brief article about fascia and the leaps and bounds made in gains during muscle training. http://www.simplyshredded.com/fst-7-fascia-stretch-training-7-workout-routine-nutrition-guide.html I'm not a doctor and I can only really talk about my experience. But before working with Jay, I had muscle tightness in the back, legs, and jaw that would caused pain and headaches. I wanted to see if he could help with that. My experience is that the results were beyond my expectations. I wanted less pain or even no pain in my muscles. After going through the series, I was really happy that the tightness and pain is gone. But in addition to that, I've discovered a whole range of motion in my body that did not exist before. My legs feel balanced and secure and movement is easy and free and actually feels really good. I feel taller just like I've been untangled and able to really experience movement. My body from a structural standpoint looks stronger and my posture is naturally improved because of it. One things to know is that as great as my own results were, I had to work in each session for it. Some of the SI sessions were painful for a few minutes as Jay worked on different areas. The way I would explain it is that blood has to move in your body in order to heal your body. And there are some areas of your body that have been blocked for years. So obviously when those areas open up there is a pain sensation and a brief period of adjustment when your body recognizes that it is healing itself. If you are an Athlete or bodybuilder moving to the next level or A regular person dealing with chronic muscle pain, Run don't walk to Bartley Body Integration! read more

Bartley Rolfing - Street view of healing center - Massage Therapy Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

I am a huge believer of finding the root cause of an issue. With an injured foot and knee that made sleeping and driving and walking so painful, neither my physical therapist, chiropractor, or orthopedist could agree on what was causing the issue or the solution. I decided to try rolfing because I was desperate for relief and understanding what was behind my injuries. Jay is the ONLY long lasting relief I have found and I am so glad I didn't have surgery or get a stem cell injection. My posture is so different, my awareness of my movements and body is on another level, and my goal of eliminating the root cause of my pain improves every single session. I am driving, walking and in less pain than ever What else- Jay is professional and also lovely. Go get rolfed and stop wasting your time with other practitioners. read more

I can't say enough good things about Bartley Structural Integration. In January I fell down a flight of stairs and while I didn't break anything I did have some small internal bleeding and muscle tears. Jay's healing body work really helped put me back together. I tried several massage therapist and numerous visits to the chiropractor, but it wasn't till I came to see Jay that the pain really started to diminish and I could reconnect properly into my Pilates practice again. I'm now more than halfway through the ten series and I can say with all confidence that it's the best money I've ever spent on myself. While Jay is a skilled practitioner his warm demeanor and personality are a key component to setting your mind and body at ease to gracefully facilitate a truly healing experience. read more

I've been a regular client of Jay's for well over a year. He's been an amazing help to me. I have ongoing physical issues that are exacerbated by long flights and drives and he is always able to put me back in shape. He's a very intuitive practitioner who knows exactly where to focus. I feel lucky to have found him and make an appointment to see him as often as I'm in LA. Definitely the best Rolfer I have found in the area. If you have any physical issues, make an appointment to see him. You won't regret it. read more

Jay has positively changed my life in so many ways. Not only did he help heal my body, but he was one of my first people I could call a true friend here in LA. As a professional dancer coming off of an injury, I needed someone who really understood a moving body. His immense knowledge of anatomy and ability to understand your individual body is the reason why I stand today with no more pain. I leave each session feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on the world! I highly recommend giving back to your body by going to Bartley Structural Integration! read more

I recently completed the ten session series of Structural Integration (aka ROLFING) with Jay Bartley. As a massage therapist and Pilates Instructor I am hyper aware of my posture and musculature and the results I achieved through my session with Jay were astounding. I can best describe my results as feeling that my muscles and bones are now sitting properly within my body. I felt as though I had been a marionette puppet with my strings all tangled up and after a session with Jay my strings were untangles and I could flow freely - the way I was always supposed to! Jay has a firm yet understanding touch and encouraged me to work with him within the sessions to let go of stresses and pain that I had been holding on to. I feel taller and more at ease in my body and highly recommend Jay's work to everyone! read more

Jay Bartley will contribute to your body's ease and wellbeing. I met with several Rolfers before choosing Bartley Structural Integration. I chose very well and my body still thanks me for it. He is intuitive, powerful (yet gentle), kind, accessible, personable, gifted, lighthearted, body-knowledgeable...I could go on and on and on and on. All of this translates through his work with you to re-alignment. Immediately after completion of the 10-Series this past December (2016); I could see the difference, but more importantly, I could feel the difference and the contribution of Jay's work. I am thrilled to report that it has been almost two months since my last session and my body continues to maintain the work...I still feel the ease, fluidity, mobility, balance and harmony from the series. Also my posture is AMAZING! Do your Body Good and Go See Jay, your body will thank you for it too. AND - Jay takes credit cards, provides parking, is easy and flexible with scheduling sessions - this made the session logistics a breeze - read more

I've been seeing Jay for about 5 months now and while I didn't go for any specific injury I had always heard good things about the series of sessions. I'd had one Rolfing session back in my 20's when I lived in Maui and always wanted to follow it up but never researched it further. Therapeutic massages are great but I intuitively knew I was looking for something more directed with intention behind it. I went in with an open mind but figured the work would be as intense as the one session I had years before in Hawaii. Due mostly to my schedule we've been unable to meet weekly which I first thought would interfere with the work or render it less effective. That has not been the case at all and each session seems to build on the last, bring something different forth. In a nutshell Jay's approach to the work is very nuanced. I'm heading into my 7th session tomorrow and plan on continuing this journey after the initial package. read more

Jay is amazing! I've been going here for almost a year and feel great. I initially came as a last ditch attempt to "cure" migraines ive had forever. The theory behind it being if I realign my body it could help alleviate certain pressures. Well it worked! Ive jad less migraines and feel more energetic since going here. I have completed my 10 sessions and continue going for maintenance. I truly worth the cost. Ive had people comment on how great my skin looks after a session even though I'm working off of 3 hours sleep! Highly recommend it. read more

I was in an auto accident that left my back and neck in pain. I can honestly say that after my 10 session series I feel more confident with my body and mind then I ever could imagine. Jay is very intuitive to what work needs to go into your body. After the 1st session i immediately noticed that my breathing was enhanced. Rolfing is one of the most amazing experiences I've gone thru. I expected my pain to go away but wasn't expecting the positive changes that occurred within my mind. Feel so blessed that I was in the hands of an amazing healer. Words can't describe the 10 sessions - all I can say is do the 1st session and you will see what I'm attempting to explain. I'm continuing to go to jay for tune ups. read more

For years I have been plagued by pain in my lower back and knees. I've tried deep massage and physical therapy and they relieved the pain for a day or two, but it came back. I had heard great things about rolfing and structural integration and finally decided to try it when I met Jay at a health fair. I just completed the 10 series and I feel fantastic. The chronic pain is gone and I feel a comfort and ease my body that I've never felt before. The office was great (its in a Craftsman house just off Sunset) and Jay made the whole experience a pleasure. I highly recommend this work! read more

Just finished my 10 series with Jay and I feel great! Many sessions really brought a new awareness to various parts of my body and how I could keep up their mobility. He also addressed some problem areas that had been a major hindrance for my very physical career. I now am constantly thinking about how I can move more easily and create less tension throughout my body. I'll definitely be going back! read more

Bartley Structural Integration and Jay Bartley offer the best Rolfing and body treatments in the Los Angeles area. I completed a 10 session series under Jay's expert care that was trans-formative. His technique and his knowledge is beyond compare. If you suffer from chronic muscular skeletal pain that years of massages and chiropractic care have been unable remedy, Bartley Structural Integration will change your life. Jay was kind, gentle and infinitely patient. He has the best "bedside" manner of any bodywork practitioner I have ever worked with. My gait, my posture and my breathing all changed for the better because of Jay's care. Plus, it is a lasting change. I may need an occasional tune up, but for the most part what improved under his care has remained constant. I've never had results like that with massage, chiropractic or even acupuncture and Chinese herbs. And, I was never sore after any of his treatments. Do not hesitate to try rolfing under Jay's care. If you have tried rolfing before, Jay will blow your mind. read more
