How can Rolfing help with EDS (Ehlers-Danlos-Hypermobility-Syndrome)?

Why schedule a phone call when looking for hands-on work?
A lot of Rolfing® clients want to speak to a Rolfer® before scheduling a hands-on appointment, especially if they have bodywork experience. Some Rolfers® require a phone call before a first session to establish a connection and have some background information on the client.
