A Plus Rolfing and Massage

Daniel Burnes is a healer. His «shingle» states that he is a Rolfer/​Deep Tissue Massage Therapist. He is that, officially. But if you are treated by him long enough you will discover that he is also a healer. You won’t hear this from him and you won’t reach that reasoned conclusion with your mind. Instead, your body will tell you, as only your body can. As mine did.
The secular thinking that dominates modern healthcare providers is variably fearful or aggressively circumspect about using the word «heal». And the word «healer» has fallen out of favor as a description for those we associate with our healthcare needs. But our intent for going to any of these worthies is to be healed, even if we never state it or admit it aloud.
A healer is someone who can begin a process of healing, knowing and accepting that they are a part of a process that is larger than they are, and that their role is to largely act as a facilitator. A healer always touches, ultimately changing what they touch for the better. Daniel Burnes does this, combining a thorough knowledge of the body’s anatomy, a continuously evolving and comprehensive understanding of how the body’s parts are designed to work as a whole, and a deeply focused commitment to service his clients’ needs.
For my part, I’d be half-​crippled now if not for the treatment provided me by Daniel Burnes for a malady eight years in the making. Not only that, thanks to him my body is slowly regaining a capability I lost over 40 years ago. It wasn’t something I had come to Daniel for help with. He commented on something he noticed about my body that wasn’t right. When I told him that no less than the Orthopedic Surgeon for a Big 10 athletic team told me that it was a capability I would never regain he simply said, «Oh, I can fix that.» In one of the biggest and certainly the most welcome surprises of my life, it turned out he was right.
The body heals itself. No one disputes this. There are times the body needs help. This help ranges from as simple a thing as a careful washing and application of a band-​aide, to major surgery. A healer understands how to provide what the body needs to heal itself. That is what Daniel Burnes is, and what you will get when you choose to add him to your healthcare team.
