MedicinEvolution

I went to see Chris another two times, this time to work on right leg tightness, also to continue improving shoulder and neck. Remember that I had already regained function in my right shoulders after the initial sessions. Chris worked on the leg, gave additional pointers on my walk, how to stretch neck, how to sit (which he thought affected my leg muscles or lack of strength). I was going on a trip to Spain and was concerned about the long plane travel and tour itself. I will confirm now that I had no issues during the trip, in fact one of my best trips. Thanks, Chris, for the tips. Today, I make sure to walk with more firmness on my right leg, as I used to drag it, and I sit down without just plopping myself on the chair. I recommend him to my friends.
FYI, this was my first review: «Have never Unilocaled before but have to give 5 stars to Chris. I had right shoulder problem, could not raise arm, pain removing shirt and combing hair, fatigued from heavy arm/​shoulder which radiated from neck, limited my weight program for arms. Been to chiropractor with no improvement for over 3 months. Desperate, I googled for an accupuncturist, found MedicinEvolution on Unilocal, read the 5 star reviews, decided to call after some research on „rolfing“. I now have completed 10 sessions of 1-​hr each with Chris, went every week. On first session, I knew he found all the tightness throughout my body from head to toe, even on my face. Very different from massage. I went home, told hubby this guy found them all, MAYBE he knew what he is doing (as I was still skeptical). By 5^th session, I felt improvement. During sessions, Chris also gave tips for improving the neural messages from the brain. His advice differed from what chiro or therapist said about limiting mobility… rather he encouraged use. Chris is a gentle quiet man; his rolfing reflects it. Friends thought I would feel much pain from rolfing but not so… in the later sessions, it was relaxing, just closed my eyes. I am an active gym-​going petite woman 5“2, 117 lbs in 60’s. I am now much much more mobile, able to raise arms, back to weight training for arms, no fatigue. Can not say I am 100% but he got me to this point when I can enjoy life again. From him, I learned to reduce the overuse of shoulders and even work on facial mannerisms. I highly recommend Chris when going to the chiropractor or physical therapist has not worked.»

I have been seeing Chris for about 3 – 4 mo now for a rather involved shoulder accident (got run over) and a severed axcillary nerve requiring a nerve transfer surgery. Long story short, it is partially recovered (after 5 yrs of therapy) but I was plateaued and don’t have full recovery and was frustrated by it. Chris has completely opened my eyes to how my body is treating my disability, and is teaching me to re-​train how my body, mind, nervous, skeletal and musculatory systems to no longer think it is injured, so that I can continue progress. His approach is very sensory but spot on. His advice is subtle but the effects have been tremendous for me. With his tutelage, I feel there is hope to advance to the next stages of healing and hopefully full recovery. It is rare to find someone with such a full system approach incorporating so many systems, but this is how your body works and this is what is needed for full recovery. Thanks to Chris, I feel there is hope and I now I have a completely different view and understanding of my injury and am empowered by the possibilities for full recovery.

It has been a privilege and pleasure to meet and work with Chris Corrales. I have suffered with chronic pain for years and he is the first one to have given me hope that I could overcome my disability. He is a very good listener, offers solutions and brings a Zen-​like presence that is absolutely refreshing and authentic. I am grateful to know that there is someone out there of this caliber. I highly recommend his services.

I once had pain in left leg; I could not sit properly and had pain while walking, riding bike or lifting weight. One of my colleagues referred me to visit Chris and that’s how I came to know MedicinEvolution. I now have more than ten sessions of 1 hour on weekly basis with Chris and my pain seems like fading away.
On first session, I thought it is just an educated way to stealing money because chiropractor is quite expensive therapy but when Chris told me the charges, it seems quite cheap so I thought to give it a try. Initially I did not felt any improvement but kept visiting and on 5^th session, I started feeling improvement. During sessions, Chris also shared few tips with me for improving neural messages from brain. His advice was completely different from what therapist said about limiting the mobility, instead he encouraged me to walk as much as possible.
Chris is a very cooperative person and an expert of his field. Not just Chris but every staff member at MedicinEvolution was so cooperative, friendly and welcoming that I never to visited there with a friend, they all seems to be my friend; in their presence I never felt alone. I strongly suggest MedicinEvolution medical Centre if you are looking for good solid clinic.

Get rid of the PAIN !! I have had seeing chiropractors and massage therapists for the past 30 years for my neck, lower back and hip issues. After seeing them I would be better for a week, however the results were never long-​lasting. After doing a series of treatments with Chris, I have to say that my nagging pains which I’ve have had for many years are almost gone.
I have to admit I was apprehensive at first about doing Rolfing again. I had done it many years ago and it was so painful I practically jumped off the table every session from the pain. The method Chris uses is kinder gentler type and almost so gentle you would think this is doing nothing for me. But after each session, when Chris had me walk around the room I could feel something was different.
Chris has taken healing to whole different level. He is constantly working and attending classes to deepen his knowledge base to more rapidly and enhance results for his clients. If you have a stubborn pain, whether it’s old are relatively new, give Chris a call and see what he can do for you.

If you are living with pain, either from an injury or a structural problem, you should run (not walk) to Chris. I first became familiar with Rolfing/​Structural Integration in Philadelphia. After years of massage therapy, chiropractic and physical therapy, I found Rolfing to be the best thing for my body.
There are practitioners and there are healers. Chris is a healer who really CARES about your outcome. He doesn’t just want to «fix» you; he teaches you ways to improve the function of your body while decreasing the pain. Chris has a quiet demeanor that some may see as shy – but he’s just concentrating on what your body needs.
I HIGHLY recommend Chris to anyone who is struggling with chronic pain. If you go, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Chris at MedicinEvolution healed me! Rolfing is what I should have done before my surgery. I have a tarsal infusion (screws in my ankle) in my left foot. My surgery has limited my range of motion in my foot and hip. So I started looking for a Rolfer because I heard Rolfing was one of the best massage deep tissue types of physical therapy. Chris Corrales, an experienced Rolfer has «adjusted» me! He taught me posture/​stretching techniques to help mobilize my body naturally. He was able to take all of the knots out of my body! After 10+ sessions I have understood deeply the power of alternative medicine. I highly recommend visiting Chris If you have any pain or discomfort in your body, any knots in your back, or you just want to understand your body mechanics.

I highly recommend Chris!
I didn’t have any particular problem when I first went to see him, but I wanted to see how he could help my body have better posture and be healthier. It was a great session!
Note: this isn’t your typical spa-​ish pampering, relaxing massage (though I love those too!).
Chris does deep, therapeutic work and I felt every fiber of my muscles really being worked over. His work was intense, but not painful to me and when our session was over, I got up feeling like I was standing tall and my whole body felt lighter! I’m looking forward to getting in to see Chris again soon!

Chris Corrales of MedicinEvolution does amazing work. He is very professional, caring, and very, very talented. He has a very calm and peaceful demeanor which helped me relax as well. I had a back injury that wasn’t getting better after 16 months of treatment with Kaiser. After my very first session with Chris I had 5 hours of pain relief, which was extremely good news for me. I just completed a ten session package and after each session I continued to improve. I’m nearly back to my pre-​injury state from only 10 sessions. I’m extremely happy I met Chris. My only wish is that I had known about his services a year ago!

I took my 13 year old son to Chris last Fall because he had some postural issues. He was walking on the tip of his toes, had his shoulders crunched up and his pelvic floor tilted back. He was going through a growth spurt and It was causing him discomfort and physical stress, especially when practicing sports. I chose Chris versus a regular massage therapist, because I was looking for more than immediate relief. I wanted him to tackle the root cause of the problem and work on my son’s structure for lasting results. Chris also happens to have a holistic approach to his clients problems, which was decisive in my choice to hire him. He is a wonderful listener and detailed in his work. We decided on 10 weekly sessions of 30 mn each. His work was instrumental in bringing comfort and ease back to my son’s body, enabling him not only to perform better in sports, but also to lessen the stress on his body and bring him confidence in his posture. I highly recommend his services!

Absolutely incredible! Depending on what you’re looking for, the type of body work or a massage style, Chris can adapt and work with your requests. I’ve tried both body work and massage and they’ve been amazing.

Chris was recommended by an acupuncturist I visited for shoulder and IT-​band pain. The pain is chronic and I’ve been going to a chiropractor for some time now with slight and sometime temporary relief. Chris listens, evaluates, recommends and executes. I’ve gone to see him for 3 sessions now and have the ability to jog, bike, do squats and shoulder press without the stabbing pain I usually feel during and after workouts. The thing I like about Chris is he gives you homework after each session so that you are aware of how your body moves and how to make slight corrections to correct old habits that causes pain. Highly recommend Chris if you want long term and corrective relief to back, leg, neck, foot and shoulder pain. Thanks Chris!

As I worked with Chris, I felt that change was accomplished more so than by any other practitioner I went to. It was great for me to feel comfortable with Chris’ approach and that’s where progress was initiated; I talked with Chris and learned what I could do, which lead to an understanding and appreciation of where our bodies thrive and what I could do to move closer to doing just that. Chris is a talent; working with him was one of the most worthwhile experiences I have had

Chris is a professional in what he does and believes in educating his patients as well as healing and/​or treating them. He’s passionate about his work, his beliefs and his understanding of the human body. I would recommend Chris in a minute for a deep tissue massage.

Chris is the best!
He is passionate about what he does and I know why – because he actually helps people feel better, and I imagine that to be very rewarding.
At first I didn’t understand what it was that Chris does that sets him apart from deep tissue massage, so he explained body work and rolfing a bit. He is big on patient education, and his face just lights up when he talks about it.
I also love how he is calming and gentle and easy to talk to. He is someone I can open up to and trust, which I think is very important.

pros… this guy is legit! he is a gifted healer, and knows what he is doing! i had just one session with him and i’m feeling 100% better. i’m an acupuncturist and i’m treating about 40 – 50 patients in a week, and boy does my back and hamstrings ache. but one visit with Chris and i’m feeling better and more range of motion in my lower back and legs.
cons…well it is quite a ways away up to Northern California, but let me tell you it’s worth it! next time i’m up i’m paying Chris another visit. believe me you will feel the difference! keep it up buddy.

Can say without a doubt that Chris has such a distinct understanding of the human body.
Just sharing a personal experience: about 2 years back, when I had issues with my left knee and some pain in my back from Jiu Jitsu; Chris took a quick look, realigned me and worked out the pain in my knee. In literally 1 session my pain was alleviated. By the 2^nd time he saw me, he was already working on improving the mobility in my hips (to help with Jiu Jitsu).
Along with him fixing your pain… Chris has this amazing zen-​like quality, a combination of holistic knowledge, spirituality… as well as a sage martial artist. When you talk to him, you feel like you are getting smarter/​wiser about life, let alone your own body.
Would highly recommend Chris to everyone!

This is an update to my previous review, having finished the 10 session program, and Chris’ extra attention to my injured leg and knee. Very valuable experience, working with Chris.
ROLFING is GOOD for the body. It is worthwhile. It is not like a massage. It is deep, specific and physically transformational. The process is structured in steps, and in each session, attention is given to each and every part of the body. It is focused and thorough and satisfying. I particularly enjoyed his deep work on my back, in a vertical sitting position, to elongate the spine and diminish tension around the spine and neck. After nearly every session, I felt «brighter», more mentally clear, and free of the physical kinks that tightness creates. My posture and gait improved. And my sense of well-​being became more relaxed and balanced.
I heartily recommend this fascinating technique.

Looking for a run of the mill, basic massage, where you get naked and have somebody work out some knots for 50 minutes with weird music set to ocean waves in the background?
That is NOT what Chris provides.
This guy is a wizard of knowledge about fascia and it’s manifestation of pain, tightness and dysfunction in the body. His calm demeanor, less is more attitude, and quiet confidence puts you at ease and gives you a feeling that big things are changing in your body. He evaluates… works on you… then reevaluates the changes that have taken place. He’s smart… he’s efficient… and by the time the session is done, you’re a different man (or woman).
He does his best work with men and children. That’s his focus, which I think makes him unique from every other massage therapist I’ve met. I think it’s really cool that he has that focus.
He gets five stars by my book, and I recommend him to my patients. If you’re considering a session of rolfing… please strongly consider Chris for work.

Chris is amazing! I have been to many body workers and Chris is the best I’ve seen. He is very intuitive, focused on the work, and intentional. His touch is really deliberate and guided, and Chris himself is warm and empathic.
After several years of chronic back pain, I decided to try Rolfing. I was afraid because I’d heard stories about how much pain it caused. Chris worked with me to find a level of pressure that felt good for me and also showed amazing results. I have been free of lower back pain since I did a series with Chris over two years ago.
He is truly a master!
