Paul Wilby

Paul uses Structural Integration (Rolfing), dynamic functional movement, and manipulation of the fascial system to bring balance, poise, and power into the body. In sessions he frees and lengthens stuck patterns, old and new. The approach follows lines of tension through the whole body rather than treating the site of pain in isolation, on the principle that where you feel a symptom is often not where the pattern lives.

Paul studied Rolfing at the foot of the Rocky Mountains with one of the most respected Native American Rolfers on record. He has worked on many continents and with many walks of life. He has been inspired by the Maasai medicine man in the Rift Valley, and journeyed with Yawanawa shaman. Along the way he has been befriended and gently guided by many extraordinary practitioners from near and far, who have shared their wisdom freely.

A first session with Paul is unhurried. He listens for a while, watches how you stand, how you move, and reads the body in front of him before laying a hand on anyone. The work itself is precise but never rushed; he stays with a line of tension until it releases and only then moves on. Clients regularly leave saying it felt slower than expected and reached further than expected.

His own longer session, the Quantum Structural Integration Session, is a deeper piece of work developed over years of practice. It is not for every visit and not for every visitor. Paul's view is that we are all much more than we have been taught, and being lucky enough to see people expand and grow is what gets him up in the morning. Whether that is clearing old pain, resolving lifelong emotional burdens, or a complete metamorphosis, his experience is that everyone can thrive.
