Gotham Rolfing, New York

Rolfing treatments aim to balance and realign the body through a process of soft-tissue manipulation. Typically offered as a series of treatments, rolfing may result in a greater ease of movement, wider range of motion, and in some cases, add a touch of height thanks to improved posture. At Gotham Rolfing, certified rolfer and licensed massage therapist Anthony Buono conducts every session. Here are some things to know about him:

• Education: Anthony graduated from the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration and the Swedish Institute College of Health and Sciences.
• How he discovered rolfing: As a client. Years ago, Anthony had lower-back problems. But after a series of rolfing treatments, he wasn't only pain-free, but he felt like a new person.
• In his words: "To me, rolfing is more than just bodywork, it's a transformative experience," he says on his website, "and I want to share that with others."
