About me

My name is Andri Hanekom. I had suffered from lower back pain since my teens, due to a structural imbalance in my spine. This imbalance caused a kyphosis (hunchback) of my thoracic spine. I walked around like this for nearly twenty years until I got Rolfed at the age of 33. My frequent bouts of back pain, bad posture, lack of body awareness, and inefficient body-mechanics are a distant memory.

This experience was so empowering and liberating that I decided to become a Rolfer myself. I trained at the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration in Boulder, Colorado (USA) graduating in July 2005. I am continuously updating my skills and have also completed a course in Organ Specific Fascial Manipulation as well as CranioSacral Therapy training by the Upleger Institute.

My abiding interest is in the relationships between the body, sensation, perception, movement, and the mind.

One of the most powerful influences that affects the potential of the mind is a balanced, flexible, mobile, healthy, and energetic body.
