I have an ongoing injury and regular Sanctioned physical therapy is great, however they don't seem to address the root cause of my issues. Archie spends a lot of time talking to me about the way my body seems to have adapted to an office job in a very negative way. He talks to me about what I can do in between sessions and he addresses what I now believe is the actual root cause of issues in my body That are in different places then where the symptoms show themselves. A concrete example is that I have a cervical spine injury which can cause rather debilitating pain in my arms and neck. After addressing the symptoms (neck) Archie has spent a lot of time on what he thinks is the real issue which is my extremely tight hip flexor (root cause). He explains the different types of muscles in there and what he is actually working on. Every time that I have a flareup and I go to Archie I find that the next day is a step up improvement in my quality of life. This is generally a different experience when compared to traditional physical therapy. I wholeheartedly recommend Archie. read more

I am very pleased with the results I had with Archie. I sought treatment for pain and stiffness in my neck due to an accident and found Archie after a lot of research on Google. After a series of sessions, the pain was gone, my motion was back, and my posture improved. Amazing results! read more

So, this review is years overdue! I was just listening to electronic music and thought of Archie and how I had never written him a review (he likes this kind of music)! I went to Archie for a series of bodywork sessions a couple years ago, and I can't recommend him enough! I have had some chronic back and muscular tension issues over the years. His sessions don't just help you get rid of the pain and tension, but he also teaches you so much about your body, to help you combat and prevent the issues from reoccurring. I learned a lot about posture, how to do exercise, etc...he truly is passionate about helping people. Not to mention he's also just awesome company and I truly looked forward to seeing him at our appointments. I had some financial setbacks stop me from continuing to see him, and then I moved out of state...otherwise I would still go in for tune ups! Please if you have chronic issues and nothing seems to help- take some sessions with Archie! You will not be sorry (Archie, sorry I disappeared on you!)! read more

I've been a client of Archie's for about 2 years, I like it rough and he sure can dish it out. ;) He really helped work out some long time issues with my legs over a couple of sessions. Highly recommended. read more

Archie is WONDERful! Really. As far a structural integration goes- this guy knows his stuff. He has a way to "read" the body and see where alignment needs adjusting. His work is deep- but good, in a way that I explain to my clients as a "good squishing." He gives follow up exercises to hold the changes you worked on in your session with him. I am bodyworker and as well and recommend clients to Archie when I know they'll benefit from his amazing work! Overall, Archie is great and very professional. I give him 5 stars for sure! read more

Archie is really great at what he does! For much of this year my right elbow has preferred to stay out of alignment; being right-handed and working a lot with my hands made the condition really uncomfortable and me really unhappy. Over several months I spent a small fortune with my chiropractor, hoping each time he adjusted it (which really sucked, in case you've never had your elbow adjusted) that it would stay in place, but it didn't. I finally kind of gave up, not knowing what else to do, until someone recommended I try a rolfer. After two (or three?) visits with Archie, my elbow is vastly improved and almost back to normal. I also have a knee that's acting up (which an orthopedist told me there is nothing wrong with) and several ribs that sometimes go out of alignment, so there are more appointments with Archie in my future. I look forward to feeling even better. read more

I had been having intense pain for one year throughout my hamstrings whenever I jogged or even walked for over 30 min. After going to numerous physical therapists, massage therapists and normal Mds, I decided to try Rolfing. I went to Archie about once a week ( 8 sessions total) It was not relaxing, but therapeutic. I starting noticing results after just a couple sessions and now im back to running and living an active lifestyle pain free. It is such a relief to know that I dont have to live with pain. read more

Archie rocks!!! He is a very gifted & knowledgeable bodyworker. His skills are 5 star*****. I have been recieving bodywork for years & know a great therapist when I experience it. The technique he specializes is very effective & has contributed to my overall posture awareness. I highly recommend Archie to release tension & to support my overall health & wellness. Thaks Archie! read more

I've been having persistent lower back pain and thought it was due to my mattress. I came in wanting to learn more about structural integration but not necessarily thinking one session would relieve my pain. Lo and behold, after just one session, i woke up with no pain in my back! I appreciate Archie in that he didn't promise me that he was going to fix me or that I would need a certain number of sessions to feel better. I felt like the process was very intuitive and Archie was able to apply just the right pressure for what my body needed at that time to release tension. I definitely gained more body awareness afterwards as well. When i am able to, I would definitely love to return for more structural integration! I recommend everyone to experience it. read more

It was ok. To be honest he's got strong hands and knows how to give you a good stretch and massage but from I read on his reviews from fellow yelpers I expected much more like a overal holistic aproach and so went I went in he had me stand in front of him front side and back to review my stance he observed and then proceeded to give me a massage and a stretch and not much more.To which left me to wonder why did I pay so much for a regular massage and some advice on how not to stand or to possibly change my pillow. Sorry wish I could say better but I feel like my yelpers let me down this time. read more

I've been a client of Archie's for about 2 years now. I had a lot of posture issues that were resolved with the structural integration work - in fact, I grew between 1/4-1/2" in the first year of my treatment. He is an excellent bodywork practitioner and I highly recommend his services without reservation to anybody who is looking to get this type of therapy. Archie is young guy but is extremely experienced and knowledgeable in his field. I don't mean to insult anybody here, but this is not a guy who became a top notch rolf/structural integration practitioner because he could not hold down a regular job. This is the career he chose at a young age and he has some amazing talent in my opinion. Besides the actual treatment, Archie runs his business in an extremely professional and organized fashion. He returns phone calls and emails in a prompt fashion and maintains notes and records and each and every patient. He starts his appointments on time. In summary, Archie offers the best of both worlds - extreme skill when it comes to treatment and utmost professionalism when it comes to running his business. If you want this type of treatment without any hassle, then give him a call. His prices are competitive and very fair. read more

My session with Archie today was fantastic! I learned that I walk and stand with my knees hyper extended and walk more on my toes than my heals, along with other insightful information. I've been carefully walking around without extending my knees and being mindful my heels and it feels so much more fluid. I just tried walking like I am used to for a few seconds and pain instantly shot through my hips (ouch!) and I noticed how badly I am arching my back too. I learned so much about my body and am confidant I am on my way to a healthy recovery after my sciatica injury. read more

Archie does great work at competitive prices. I have been to many massage therapists for pain relief, but Structural Integration is the only therapy that has really made a lasting, tangible impact. As a professional actor and singer, I use my body as a huge part of my daily work and keeping it in tune, relaxed and in alignment is vital, and Archie helps me do that. read more

Archie has been keeping me in shape for five years. I work construction, and often tweak my back in ways that will lead to long term damage if not corrected, so I go to Archie when problems arise, and for maintenance. He's easy going but doesn't bullshit, no crystals here. He's an engineer of sorts, working on a very complicated system of muscle and tissue. I highly recommend his services. read more

I had an inflame wrist that became tendonitis, for over 8 months. Three different doctors, a variety of drugs, techniques and no one could fix me. I was starting to lose faith and then I went to see Archie. When I first went to see him. I was suffering of a lot of pain, I couldn't hold a glass or do any basic movements with my hand. After my second session, I could feel the great improvement. Today I'm pain free and back to doing yoga!! Thank You!!!! I'm so grateful!!! If you have any pain, I'd recommend Archie. read more

This is the best Rolfing place ever ! I recommend this place to anyone who suffers from pain and inflammation ... THANK YOU

Wow! is all I can say. I'd had Hellerwork done in th past, but that was about 15 years ago now - (didn't realize it was so long ago), and my old practitioner had long since retired. Found Archie on Google, checked out the yelp reviews so I decided to try him. Been having MAJOR issues with my shoulder, hip and pretty much the entire left side of my body... after our first session, I was spacey as hell, and the day after pretty sore. The third day I felt like I hadn't in many years. My shoulder felt NORMAL again!!!! No pain, stiffness, or anything! Can't wait for the next session to work on my hips! Totally worth the $$$!!!!! read more

I'm extremely picky when it comes to spending money on alternative therapies as it is usually an out-of-pocket expense, and I want all the bang for my buck. Archie at Structural Integration definitely meets my high standards. He is an exceptionally talented rolfing practitioner, and has extensive knowledge of human anatomy and function. Whether you want things explained in scientific or layman's terms, he can answer just about any question you have for him. And if you stump him, he will actually take the time to look it up or consult with other colleagues to find an explanation for you. As a recipient of hip replacement surgery, I have been feeling out of balance lately. After 2 sessions with Archie I've felt better than I have in weeks! I'll definitely be back for maintenance whenever I'm out of whack. read more

Archie always straightens me out. I can be a real PITA and he powers through it like a champ. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Archie is amazing and returned me to a pain-free state after only one session. Prior to going to Archie I struggled with chronic back pain for a few years and nothing including multiple massages, chiropractic treatments or a new mattress helped. Thankfully my husband was familiar with Rolfing and suggested I give it a try. I've been going to Archie for a year now and I cannot thank him enough for relieving me of pain, and thereby immensely improving my quality of life. read more

I recently moved to upstate New York and I have to say there are a few things I miss about living in Southern California, and Archie's work is one of them! I have been fortunate enough to receive Rolfing and Structural Integration from some of the best practitioners from Colorado to California and I would say that Archie's bodywork is top notch! If you were thinking about going through the full Structural Integration series--Do It! It will transform you posture and change your life. read more

I can really see the difference and improvemnt in my body. Both my brother and mom have told me that I look talller. I had noticed this myself prior to them mentioning it. I recently bungee jumped and my brother said the jump must have stretched me out LOL. Archie is amazing at what he does! I almost feel like if other things have helped heal due to the work. Thanks a bunch Archie! Gabe V. read more

He's awesome, well educated but not boastful about it. If you want a guy that knows what he is talking about but isn't all in your face about it, he is the guys to see. Hands down. read more

Okay, so I was taking a risk with rolfing but I'm so glad I did! I was diagnosed with hip labral tear and possible hip impingement in both hips. 6 months ago I was bed ridden and could not walk. I have seen progress with acupuncture, massage, chiro, swimming etc. but it wasn't till I saw Archie that I had a break-through! After seeing him, I was able to going from walking very slowly with some joint pain to walking quickly with no joint pain! I have chosen to heal non-surgically due to the lack of guarantee fix of surgery and I'm so glad I did now. I know I still have a few months+ of recovery time but it's about the same time even if you do get surgery (granted if successful)! So, I highly recommend Archie for chronic pain. Getting rid of those trigger points in key areas and fixing posture is absolutely key in relieving chronic pain (in addition to nutrition and rest)! If anyone else is dealing with a similar issue, I have a blog at happyhipwordpress.com for more info./helpful links. :) Here's to happy healing! read more

Archie is a skilled body worker. He's incredibly intuitive and knowledgeable about the body. If you have any pain, or are just curious about learning more about your body, I highly recommend seeing Archie. read more

I have tried everything to manage my chronic pain. I suffer from scoliosis, a cyst in my lower brain stem and a pinched nerve in my neck. I started seeing Archie 5 weeks ago and what a difference! He is incredibly knowledgable and professional. i was initially scared to go, when I called to schedule my appointment he talked to me for 15 minutes explaining what To expect. I went to my first appointment and felt results. So encouraging. When you live life in constant pain sometimes you begin to feel that it's a hopeless battle to be comfortable in your own body. I look forward to my weekly appointment because I know how much better I'm going to feel the next day. He really is a miracle worker. NO ONE has ever given me the results that Archie has!!! read more
