Not exactly Rolfing, but there is a massage therapist who works with the Baltimore Symphony. As I recall the person is question is a former member of the BSO.

Last session, the guy stuck his hand (with plastic glove) in my mouth and stretched out the top and bottom areas where the gums join the cheeks. It was a bit sore for a day or two, but no more than anything else has done, and the muscles seem to enjoy their new outlook. He has also done significant work on back and neck muscles, which sure needed it. For instance, I can turn my head both ways to a greater degree than I could for many years. In one session he kind of dug my ribs out so as to let them expand better, and free my diaphragm - I seem to be able to breathe a bit deeper now, though I have no before/after measurements to back that up. I'm wondering if anyone here has had similar work done, and if so, how it strikes you re increasing your musculature after all these years of getting beaten down by the playing positions we assume for tens of thousands of hours of our lives.
