    Looking for a run of the mill, basic massage, where you get naked and have somebody work out some knots for 50 minutes with weird music set to ocean waves in the background?

    That is NOT what Chris provides.

    This guy is a wizard of knowledge about fascia and it's manifestation of pain, tightness and dysfunction in the body. His calm demeanor, less is more attitude, and quiet confidence puts you at ease and gives you a feeling that big things are changing in your body. He evaluates... works on you... then reevaluates the changes that have taken place. He's smart... he's efficient...and by the time the session is done, you're a different man (or woman).

    He does his best work with men and children. That's his focus, which I think makes him unique from every other massage therapist I've met. I think it's really cool that he has that focus.

    He gets five stars by my book, and I recommend him to my patients. If you're considering a session of rolfing.... please strongly consider Chris for work.

    Chris is amazing! I have been to many body workers and Chris is the best I've seen. He is very intuitive, focused on the work, and intentional.  His touch is really deliberate and guided, and Chris himself is warm and empathic.  

    After several years of chronic back pain, I decided to try Rolfing.  I was afraid because I'd heard stories about how much pain it caused. Chris worked with me to find a level of pressure that felt good for me and also showed amazing results. I have been free of lower back pain since I did a series with Chris over two years ago.

    He is truly a master!

    Chris is a healer, I wanted to use a holistic approach to healing my gout symptoms.  I have been suffering for over a year with reoccurring flareups in my wrists, knees, ankles, and toes.  I completed the ten Rolfing series and have had no flareups
    Chris is very insightful and he definitely helped me.

    I have known Chris and seen him on numerous occasions over the course of the last 13 years. What I can say about him is this: Chris is an extremely deep thinker and a soulful, compassionate and caring human being. These qualities alone qualify him as an extremely special and RARE individual who regularly touches me to the CORE with his insights into the challenges that REAL PEOPLE face.

    Add to this his ability to touch someone first with his presence, then words, then hands... As a body worker myself, I am in AWE of Chris' inate healing abilities. Over the course of my life I have reserved the title of MASTER for fewer individuals than I can count on my hands. I utter this word RARELY and with REVERENCE. Chris is a MASTER HEALER.

    Three words of advice for anyone who reads this review: GO SEE HIM!

    ...And yes you may contact me directly if you'd like more insight, examples, etc.

    I have been practicing Structural Integration for 17 years, have taught in classes, and have received sessions from dozens of practitioners, including the very best ones (Dr. Rolf's proteges), so I think I can tell a good Rolfer from an average one.  Chris is definitely a good one!  He has a natural feel for the work.  He is really good at finding where the strain is in the body, and works to unwind it in a way that feels totally trustable, and comfortably (not painful).  Chris is a really good person, with good energy.  He's relaxed and caring, and its great to get  sessions from him.

    It has been about 4 months since I completed my ten series and I could not be happier with the results. Chris's rolfing series is not an instantaneous, quick fix but he was right about the body slowly restructuring and the effects being long-lasting. My hip pain is nearly gone and my biggest improvement has been in my recovery. There were plenty of days where I had a very difficult time getting out of bed after tough training sessions the day before. Those days seem to be behind me.

    I highly recommend rolfing and I highly recommend Chris. You will be hard pressed to find someone else with as much knowledge and passion for his craft. He truly works to help you get your body back to optional functionality.

    I LOVED this guy. Everyone should get rolfed, at least once in their life.

    And actually, perhaps only once. That is one of my favorite things about this kind of deep-tissue bodywork--they don't try to over-sell it. After 10 sessions, when I completely hooked, Chris actually told me to take 6 months off. ?!!

    I do plan on going back at some point. After 10 sessions, some of which were painful but all of which were fruitful, I walk taller, sit upright, and feel increased range of motion.

    This was good stuff.

    I used to get headaches at least once a week and I normally go to a Chiropractor for that quick fix on releasing the tension.  However, after going to a Chiropractor for at least 10 years, I wanted to try something different and I read and heard a few things about Rolfing.  I had a friend that recommended me to Chris.  

    I really didn't know what to expect, but the experience was absolutely AMAZING!  Not only did I walk out of his sessions feeling great, but he taught me a lot about my body.  I haven't gotten a headache since I started his sessions.  

    He's a really great guy with an extraordinary gift.  He knows what he's doing and he's definitely good at it.  If your looking for a Rolfer, he's the person to go to.

    I was on the hunt for a rolfer after knee surgery (ACL) and Chris was recommended to me through a friend. His friendly, down-to-earth demeanor was what I expected from a body work professional in SF but eight sessions later not only are we good friends, but I'm a total convert to his form of "unconventional medicine". For those that have never been "rolfed" before, prepare for a crazy ride - it's definitely not for the fair hearted. However, after a few session you'll begin to see the world a lot more clearly, as well as gain better posture and a sense of centered-ness that is difficult to describe but very fulfilling. After full ACL reconstruction surgery in Dec I was running a few miles a day again in April! Getting rolfed was a HUGE part of that! Highly recommended!!!

    Met Chris through my trainer, Sgt E. and am grateful for the introduction.  A 40-year old male with a bad hip injury from long-distance running, I was in need of some help.  Although Rolfing takes place in a similar setting as say, a massage, it is far more involved and effective in realigning the body and attaining desired potential (e.g., better body functioning, improved posture, balance and larger lung capacity).  Chris Corrales has achieved all of these for me and set me on a much better path at a critical time of my life (40!).  I initially underwent a "10 Series" (10 sessions) and am now doing a follow up 5 Series.  I'd be happy to be a reference for Chris and the process in general so please feel free to email me within Yelp!.

    I have known Chris for many years but had never tried out any of his many skills.  Then I injured my knee and he offered to do some brief bodywork on me to help me out.  WOW!  I was blown away.  I felt like he had in one abbreviated session addressed some of my body's deepest tensions and ailments.  I had never experienced or even imagined anything like it.  Very powerful stuff.  I am definitely going to continue and go for the full 10 sessions.

    I recently completed a 10 session Rolfing series with Chris.  It was my first experience with Rolfing, and Chris was very accommodating and willingly answered any questions I had.  He is a professional, a gentleman and he obviously has a natural knack for this.  As far is Rolfing is concerned, wow!  Anyone who works at a computer for a living MUST try this.  I can safely say this was the best thing I've done for myself in recent memory.  Also, anyone with chronic knee or back pain, please get yourself Rolfed before considering surgery!

    I saw Chris for homeopathic treatments for a period of 2 plus years.  The remedies he gave me did wonders for my asthma and sleep problems. Chris was consistent in his follow-up calls and appointments, which helped
    me understand how the remedies were working. I felt very supported by him
    throughout the process. He is most definitely a healing presence; he is calm, patient and grounded. If you see Chris for Rolfing or homeopathy, you are in good hands!

    I met Chris thru Dan T (poster on here) and was very much intrigued by Chris as he has such a calm demeanor and is so very pleasant to talk to.  I originally was going to have my girlfriend attend her first ROLFing session, but fortunately for me, she was a bit trepidatious (she is now into her 4th session of 10) after hearing some of the "pain" associated with ROLFing - am I glad I went.  I completed my 10 sesssion program and can honestly say that out of all body work that I have done in my life, this was the most comprehensive and thorough experience I have gone thru.  The affects were realized during, after and continue to this day - my body is more responsive on my left side where we discovered I had some serious impediments (the left leg & hip work were especially revealing) - I have recommended to a number of people Chris' work, and it should not be taken lightly, as he provides a complete program that you have to believe in to get the most out of it - it is worth the time and will aid anyone who chooses to work with Chris.
