Len Worley, PhD

I started seeing Len several months ago and it was one of the very best decisions I’ve ever made! I was a little nervous about Rolfing in general at first, since I had heard rumors that it hurt. These were just rumors however, because Len is an expert Rolfer! It actually does matter who you work with when it comes to Rolfing, I’ve discovered. I have struggled with chronic neck pain from a car wreck since 2007 and tried everything under the sun, but the difference between Rolfing and all those other modalities is that Rolfing works to correct the entire structure of the body– «The Architecture» in other words. It does much more than pain management! The way I walk, hold myself, pain and even feel in my own body has drastically changed since I starting working Len. 5 stars!!:) –Teal

Len is an amazing practitioner! I was a bit apprehensive of Rolfing initially as I heard it could be quite painful. Len uses an excellent techniques and communication to ensure the session is always satisfying. Rolfing itself has corrected so many of my chronic body aliments that other methods only temporarily relieved. I cannot speak highly enough of Len or Rolfing. Len takes the time to listing to what is bothering you, analyzes your posture and makes sure you are comfortable throughout the session. I have recommended Len to several of my friends and colleagues.

I could not recommend Len more highly. He is hands down the best body worker in Austin. With an extraordinary combination of listening and observation, Len pinpoints what will relieve pain, promote healing, improve alignment and body function. With an amazing knowledge of bio-​mechanics and anatomy — and an extraordinary intuitive sense of the body — Len is then able to effect meaningful change through his unique application of Ida Rolf’s method. He is one of the most present, empathetic and authentic people I’ve ever met. I always leave feeling stronger, more aligned, and more grounded, infused with Len’s positive and generous spirit.

Dr Len is Fantastic! He is a true healer and gifted at working with the body! As a Doctor myself I have seen hundreds of healers over the years and had hundreds work on me. He is truly my very favorite body worker! Thank you Len!

Len is an incredibly intuitive and effective therapist. He worked on me during and after my pregnancy when I experienced intense sciatica that inhibited me from walking and dancing. As an experienced dancer, this helped me get back to doing what I love best after my pregnancy. I saw a variety of practitioners during my pregnancy, and Len was the only one that would take care of all my symptoms in a single session. Len analyzes your stance, your walk, and even your shoes upon first meeting you to evaluate postural tendencies that lead to long term imbalances in the body. He is also a great listener, which makes him effective in treating clients in subsequent visits when he checks in before starting a bodywork session. Len has great bedside manner, and I’ve truly enjoyed getting to know him over the past years, and I always leave super relaxed. It’s as though he sets a «reset» button in me during each bodywork session. I recommend him all the time to friends.

Having Len Worley work on me has been one of the best things I have ever done for my body. Though I went in with a single complaint (neck pain that prevented me from sleeping) this was quickly remedied (I had been seeing chiropractors and massage therapists for YEARS to no avail… and he fixed in in two weeks) and we moved on to other, more minor aches and pains that I had considered to be an inevitable part of aging. Apparently, I could not have been more wrong. After 10 sessions, I physically feel 25 years younger, and I swear I am taller. The sessions were completely pain free and worth every single penny.
Len’s demeanor is warm and professional, and a complete joy to work with. Do yourself a favor and see him immediately.

I have been to many body work professionals and have never experienced the kind of results that I get from a rolfer with anyone else. Len is very knowledgable and professional. He was very good at listening to what I wanted to get out of the session, and made me feel extremely comfortable. He was able to identify very quickly my areas of tension and imbalances and knew what to do about it. His space is very warm and inviting, and his demeanor is calm, accepting, and extremely professional. There is nothing I would have changed about my experience.

I have been going to Len for a while now. It tends to be off and on as needed when I get too busy to exercise of have high levels of stress at work. Usually I have a good session and find that I’m relaxed and a bit more flexible afterward. For this alone, his treatments are of great value.
However, he proved his mettle above and beyond on my last visit when I had a kink in my neck. It was bugging me for days and my session just happened to be scheduled during the issue. He asked about my well being and I mentioned the neck pain in passing — thinking it was just something that needed to work its course. Len became very inquisitive about the pain and said he could fix it before I left. I was skeptical, but figured there was nothing to loose in letting him work on my neck. An hour later… It was fixed! 100%! I was amazed!!!
Len is a committed Rolfer and has an inviting disposition that only serves to enhanse his practice. I would strongly encourage anyone who reads this review to schedule an appointment.

I have had many sessions with Len, and they are always very healing. I am always amazed at how many stuck places there are in my body, and Len can find and correct them like a laser beam. He is always professional, kind, and very knowledgeable about the many factors that effect our energetic and physical bodies. I always thought rolfing was supposed to hurt but I have learned it is not a painful therapy. He has done a lot more for me than the extensive sessions with my P/​T ever did.

I was introduced to Len by my massage therapist last year. I had tension in one of my hips from earlier sports injuries, and subsequent desk jobs. I wasn’t sure quite what to expect, other than «deeper» work. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. Previously, no amount of stretching and regular massage has been able to alleviate the dull pain and tension in my hip, and I thought I was destined for an eventual hip replacement. Len was able to give me relief. He listened to my complaints and was able to work this out in surprisingly few number of sessions (like 5!).
Len is a great listener and worked with me to resolve other problem areas, instead of just trying to get through a specific massage routine. I cannot recommend him more highly for his body work.
Len’s studio is conveniently located near WholeFoods and Trader Joe’s downtown and has plenty of free parking in the adjacent garage.

I came across Rolfing by chance after looking to relieve pain I had had on my neck and shoulders for many years, and which was getting worse. I was impressed with my first session. The second time I saw him I told him my shoulder felt like a feather… I had not felt this good before even after many visits to chiropractors. I practice yoga, and one of the things I noticed right away is that during my classes, while laying on my stomach, I can now turn my head 90 degrees and rest on either side on my ear/​cheek, which before I could not do (I no longer have an «uncomfortable side»). My body has really experienced a difference!
I can truly attest that Len is a very considerate and compassionate person… very professional and I highly recommend him. I’ve had maybe four sessions and going back for more! Thank you, Len.

Len Worley has magic hands! Having grown up in a family of massage therapists and energy and body workers, and having gone to massage school myself, I have quite a bit of experience with different modalities. Nothing compares to the work Len does. Nothing. I have been to him several times — initially to relieve low back pain and other ailments caused by salsa dancing in heels, then through my pregnancy and now postpartum. Unlike other massage therapists who tend to get into a monotonous rhythm with their own sequence of moves they do every single time, regardless of what’s going on in your body, Len tailors each session to exactly what your body needs in that moment. He is intuitive, experienced and highly accurate! He knows what’s going on in my body even if I forget to tell him about a problem area. By the time I get off the table, I feel like a new woman — every single time. On top of all this, Len is extremely personable and caring. He takes the time to listen to you before your session and checks in with you afterward to see how the experience was for you, which helps you focus on the immediate results. If you like deeper body work that actually helps your muscles, fascia, etc, to release and your bones to structurally realign themselves, Len is your man! :)

Such a fantastic experience. I push my body to the limit with the style of training I do. Len was able to do some great work on my chest and shoulders with manual hands on Rolfing as well as some great advice on breathing techniques and mindfulness. I walked out feeling very open physically and spiritually. I highly recommend trying this out. Keep an open mind and you will get a lot out of it.

Len has worked on my body several times with amazing results, resolving tensions and blockages around decades old scar tissue that I had given up on. I enjoy more range of motion and am virtually pain free again. He is a very experienced body worker, during sessions he keeps checking in with me to make sure that the pressure is good and I’m comfortable.

Len is an amazing body worker and has great knowledge about alignment and muscular systems. I had a great experience from start to finish. He is professional, the studio space is lovely and my poor aching legs feel oh so much better. He has great communications skills and was always checking in with me throughout the session to make sure that the pressure was just right and that I felt comfortable over all. I received my session as a gift and have been thanking the lovely folks who gifted it to me all day.
I will definitely be going back and will be referring all my friends to Len.

After a neck injury a few years ago, I had chronic pain. Pain medication kept it at bay, but it’s not a long term solution. Chiropractic helped a lot, but didn’t fully do the job. I tried other solutions, traditional and alternative, but could not get long-​term relief. One session with Len bought me 6 months of pain-​free living. For me, that is HUGE. Len can stretch out muscles that 3 months of daily yoga couldn’t. That’s what he does and that is what really helped. My understanding is that Rolfing can treat quite a few conditions. We will see. Next up: hip alignment!

I have had ongoing issues with my hips/​legs and upper back for years. Until I met Len, I would have to get deep tissue massages every couple of weeks to manage the discomfort. Rolfing with Len has been incredible! It is the most effective bodywork I have ever experienced and I notice a compete difference in the way I walk, stand and sit. My body just plain feels good. When I go to sleep, I have significantly less aching and sleep better. I have had 5 sessions and plan on doing a full 10 — I would beg anyone with any kind of discomfort to try rolfing! Len’s sessions are comfortable and enjoyable! He’s really easy to get along with and actually the whole process is very therapeutic. I have never written a Unilocal review before but Len has been so helpful that I want to spread the word!

I’ve just completed a series of treatments with Len Worley and it is not an overstatement to say it changed my life. I was missing work w back pain. Had been through physical therapy and chiropractic as well as massage. I will be turning 60 and feeling better than i have felt in years.

One often hears that Rolfing is painful, with Len this was not the case at all. I always left feeling renewed and full of peace, not to mention full of additional information about how to stay flexible and healthy. I am a 61 year old triathlete, Len was very helpful in keeping my body and mind ready for the tri season. If you have ever wanted to try Rolfing but are concerned about it being too painful, look no further. Go see Len, he will fix you up!

Len is a magician with his hands. He has frequently turned this painfully spasming pain ridden mid 30s back of mine into something that feels like a teenager. Len is specially very intuitively sensitive about applying just the right amount of pressure to be effective, NOT painful and yet fun. He’s insightful and a Rolfing session could very well change your life with some deep words of wisdom. I can’t recommend him any better. and if you get him started about his work in dreams.
