James Chritton Bodywork is a highly skilled practice in Oakland, CA, specializing in Fascial Counterstrain, Rolfing® Structural Integration, and somatic movement therapy. The practitioner brings a rare combination of precision, depth, and presence to his work, with extensive knowledge of the body and exceptional attention to detail. His treatments are unique, blending osteopathy, rolfing, and other subtle but very therapeutic movements in an individualized way. Clients describe a really healing experience, finding long-term relief from chronic pain, tension, and postural imbalance. Many report walking better, feeling lighter in previously tense parts of the body, and achieving a more relaxed and balanced body and mind. The approach is holistic, gentle, and professional, with the practitioner intuitively guiding each session for exactly what is most needed. Clients highly recommend him for his skills, presence, and the rewarding process that supports nervous system regulation and lasting structural change.

James is amazing! I feel so much better mentally and physically after working with him. I was a skeptic at first (about structural integration/ Rolfing), but after just minutes of having him work on me I knew I had to keep coming back. Would highly recommend 👍

I've been twice and can't wait to go back again soon!
