Welcome to Mountain Roots Rolfing® with Kelly Phillips
Rolfing is a manual therapy approach to organizing the body’s structure for better everyday functional movement and structural alignment. Throughout life we experience stress and injuries in many ways; from falls, accidents, car wrecks, surgeries, pregnancy, birth, emotional stress or our daily lives. When these stressors persist, fascia (connective tissue) can get thicker, creating seemingly stuck posture, movements or experiencing less range of motion and/or pain. Rolfing focuses on addressing the body as a whole through the fascia, soft tissues, skeletal structure, and the nervous system to help people be more aware of their movements, space around them and discover ease in both posture and functional movement. When the body’s structure is aligned, it uses less energy and effort for movement and living within gravity. Muscles, joints and connective tissues, which fascia is a part of, can all move and function with more ease. When the body is more organized this leads to less pain, tension, holding, more range of motion and allows the person to maintain daily life with more mental and bodily balance.
Rolfing is a powerful process lending a sense of freedom and expanse in one's body!

About Kelly Phillips
Kelly Phillips grew up in Yellowstone National Park and developed a deep connection to nature early on. While attending college, she balanced her studies with a demanding career as a Wildland Firefighter. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Anthropology from Colorado State University, all while dedicating 13 years to firefighting. Her experience spanned across several crews, including the Helena Hotshots, Type 2 Crews, Helitack & SAR, and Wildland Fire Modules. Like many in her field, Kelly faced physical challenges and injuries from the intense demands of the job.
In her search for healing from persistent knee and neck pain, Kelly discovered Rolfing®. After completing the 10-series with additional advanced sessions, she found the relief she was seeking. Inspired by the results, she enrolled at the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute in Boulder, CO, in January 2020. Despite school delays caused by the pandemic and the growth of her family, she successfully graduated as a Certified Rolfer®.
Kelly believes that pain is often rooted in various life experiences, both past and present. Through Rolfing, she helps clients release those deep-seated patterns, creating a more balanced and aligned body. Now practicing in Cody Wyoming, Kelly is excited to share the benefits of Rolfing with her community and is dedicated to helping others find relief.
