FAQ – Your Questions About Rolfing® & Personal Training in Basel
Answers to guide your path to better movement and well-being.
What are the benefits of Rolfing®?
Rolfing® aims to realign your body’s alignment and structure. By working with the fascial system, we release deep-seated tension and reduce chronic pain. The result is an upright, effortless posture, enhanced mobility, and a noticeable relief of the nervous system. Many clients also report a heightened sense of emotional balance as physical stress is sustainably reduced.
Is Rolfing® right for me? (Indications & Contraindications)
Rolfing® is ideal for anyone looking to correct poor posture, boost physical performance, or relieve chronic pain (such as back or neck issues). Due to the deep tissue work involved, Rolfing is not suitable for pregnant women or cancer patients. In the case of acute inflammation or severe medical conditions, the treatment should be cleared by a physician beforehand.
Can I book Personal Training and Rolfing® separately?
"Yes, absolutely. My concept is modular. You can book Personal Training and Rolfing® as standalone services, tailored entirely to your current needs. While many clients value the synergy of combining both methods, the focus is always on your individual goal—whether you want to work exclusively on your fitness or are looking for purely therapeutic bodywork.
How much does a Rolfing® session cost, and how many sessions will I need?
A session lasts approximately 60 to 75 minutes and costs CHF 180, which includes a detailed structural and movement analysis. Up to 80% of the costs can be covered by supplementary health insurance in Switzerland. To achieve lasting and deep-seated changes in your body structure, the classic process of 10 sessions has proven highly effective, with each session building systematically on the previous one.
Is Rolfing® covered by Swiss health insurance?
Yes, absolutely. I hold accreditation with EMR, ASCA, and EGK. Because of this, most Swiss supplementary insurance providers—such as CSS, Helsana, SWICA, Sanitas, Visana, and CONCORDIA—reimburse up to 80% of the cost for Rolfing® sessions. However, because benefits depend on your individual policy, please contact your insurance company for a quick confirmation before your first visit.

Thank you for putting your trust in my work.
Looking for a Rolfing specialist, I found Max online. After a few sessions, I can say my experience has been highly positive. Max is highly skilled and, as a personal trainer, perfectly blends Rolfing with effective follow-up exercises. His studio is also top-notch. I absolutely recommend Max from Hand und Fuss to anyone seeking professional Rolfing or personal training.
"Max is a highly experienced Rolfing therapist. He looks at the person as a whole and addresses the root cause of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms. I felt in excellent hands right from the very beginning and can highly recommend Max.
Max is a fantastic personal trainer. He keeps me in great shape and gives me routines that I can easily do every day, no matter where I am. On top of that, he supports me with my knee and hip problems. He is also trained in the Rolfing method—I wholeheartedly recommend him!
