Meet Nick
Certified Rolfer® & Board Certified Structural Integrator
I’m Nick Neuvirth, a Certified Rolfer® and Board Certified Structural Integrator serving clients in Bloomington and throughout the Twin Cities. My journey to Rolfing was shaped by my own experiences with injury, physical limitations, healing, faith, and ultimately discovering a calling to help others through this work.
I believe each person's body has a unique history, and my goal is to help you move with greater ease, feel more comfortable in your body, and get back to doing the things you love.
How I Discovered Rolfing®
I grew up on a farm outside a small town in Minnesota, where I learned the importance of faith, family, hard work, and staying active. I played basketball, golf, and football growing up and continued to enjoy an active lifestyle into adulthood.
While in college, I experienced a significant injury after falling 15ft off a ladder. I suffered a compression fracture in my spine and many other areas of my body locked up as well. I had developed patterns of movement and tension that continued to affect how I felt and moved.
Eventually, I was introduced to Rolfing Structural Integration and decided to try the Ten-Series.
The experience made a significant difference in how I felt in my body. I became more aware of how I moved, how my body compensated for old injuries, and how interconnected different parts of the body could be.
That experience was profound and stayed with me.
From Rolfing Client to Rolfer®
After graduating from Winona State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, I spent years working in business, including marketing, merchandising, product development, and procurement.
During those years, I continued to experience challenges with my health and physical well-being. There were seasons when pain and physical limitations made it difficult to live the active lifestyle I had always enjoyed.
My faith became an increasingly important part of that journey. Through some very difficult seasons, I experienced God's healing and guidance in ways that changed how I viewed my health, my body, and my purpose.
Eventually, I returned to Rolfing and completed another Ten-Series.
The changes I experienced were significant. I began to understand my body in a completely different way, and I became increasingly interested in learning how Rolfing could help other people experience greater freedom and ease in their own bodies.
After my third Rolfing session, I knew I wanted to become a Rolfer.
Faith, Healing & My Calling
My faith is an important part of who I am and has played a significant role in my journey.
I believe God created our bodies with an incredible capacity to adapt, respond, and heal. My own journey taught me that healing can involve many different parts of our lives—physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual—and that God can use unexpected experiences to lead us in new directions.
Rolfing was an important part of my own healing journey, but it became much more than something that helped me personally. Through my experiences, I began to see this work as part of a calling.
Becoming a Rolfer wasn't simply a career decision for me. It was a decision to pursue work that I believe God was leading me toward—work that allows me to help people better understand their bodies, move with greater ease, and pursue the things that matter most to them.
Becoming a Certified Rolfer®
I completed my professional training at the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® of Structural Integration in Boulder, Colorado, the school founded to carry forward the work of Dr. Ida P. Rolf.
Through my training, I developed a deeper understanding of human anatomy, movement, connective tissue, and structural integration. The training also taught me that every person brings a unique history and pattern of movement to the table.
I became a Certified Rolfer® and a Board Certified Structural Integrator.
I continue to pursue education and training every year so that I can keep developing my understanding of the body and become a better practitioner for the people I serve.
Continuing Education
My education has continued beyond my initial Rolfing certification. Some of my continuing education includes:
Board Certified Structural Integrator through the International Association of Structural Integrators (IASI)
IASI Symposium

Deepening the Rolfing Ten-Series — Russell Stolzoff

Shoulder Girdle, Arms & Axial Relationships — Tessy Brungardt
I believe good practitioners never stop learning. Continuing education allows me to keep refining my skills and expanding my understanding of how the body moves and adapts.
My Approach to Rolfing®
I don't believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to working with the body.
Every person brings a different history, structure, movement pattern, and set of goals to a session. My approach is to listen, observe, and work with what your body is communicating rather than forcing it into a predetermined pattern.
My goal is for each session to be purposeful and specific to you—not simply a routine that is repeated from one person to the next.
Why I Do This Work
Rolfing has had a profound impact on my own life, and my experience is a big part of why I chose to become a Rolfer.
I know what it is like to feel limited by your body and to wonder if you will ever get back to doing the things you love. I also know what it is like to experience change and healing and to discover a new sense of possibility.
My hope is that the work we do together can help you better understand your body, move with greater ease, and feel more comfortable doing the things that matter most to you.
I'm grateful that my own journey—through injury, healing, faith, and Rolfing—ultimately led me to work that I truly believe I was called to do.
