Who is Richard Rossiter?

Richard Rossiter is a former helicopter pilot who, after being shot down in Vietnam, suffered excruciating pains from severe shoulder injuries for over a decade.

He became a trained and certified advanced Rolfer; Richard then went deeper and developed his own system of workouts to relieve pain and help people enhance their mobility no matter what their age.

By combining many massage therapy systems and doubling the efforts with the two-person approach, The Rossiter System of Workouts is improving lives everyday!

How does it work?

The Rossiter System consists of hard, powerful, conscious TWO-PERSON stretching of the connective tissue system, which is done by a Rossiter-trained coach and YOU, the PIC, which stands for the Person in Charge. Each session is called a ‘Rossiter workout’ because two people (‘client & therapist’, or ‘PIC & Coach’) work together to achieve results.

For most of these techniques, the PIC remains fully clothed and lies on a mat on the floor. The Rossiter-trained coach places a foot on a very specific part of the PIC’s body to anchor tissue in place during movement, and that adds power to the stretch.

The weight and the warmth of the Coach’s foot, combined with powerful stretching by the PIC, warm and loosen the connective tissue, enabling the tissue to unravel its grip and allow freedom of movement again. When the connective tissue is freed and provides ‘space’ to the body (joints, muscles), tightness eases, pain ebbs and the body’s structures are no longer pinched, squeezed, bulged or trapped.

You are in charge of your body; you are in charge of your workout because you are the expert on how you feel inside your body. Anyone who uses these techniques undergoes a Rossiter workout – and that is exactly what it feels like: a powerful workout that produces quick, powerful results for anyone of any age.

The Rossiter System addresses pain at its cause, which is the body’s connective tissue system. Connective tissue is really quite simple to understand. It is the stretchy, strong ligaments, tendons and broad, fascial coverings that connect every part in the body to all the other parts.

It holds your body together, gives it shape and (when completely healthy and loose) gives it space. When the connective tissue system is overworked, stressed, or injured, it naturally shortens and thickens, causing pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, poor sleep, heaviness and other symptoms. When there is not enough space in the joints, there is pain and limited movement. Unless the causes of pain are addressed, pain will continue to come back and it will usually worsen over time.

This unique and extremely effective approach to pain relief does not involve medication or surgery. The techniques require the clients’ active involvement to stretch away pain by loosening and lengthening their connective tissue from head to toe. People find themselves stretching like they have never stretched before. The Rossiter System’s stretching techniques loosen entire areas of connective tissue, restore mobility and circulation. With these stretches, you can find your pain, take control and s-t-r-r-r-e-t-c-h it out of your body for good.

Most people immediately feel results. Several sessions may be needed to gain sustained long lasting results. Most Injuries can be treated with a Rossiter Workout. Maintenance treatments are recommend for prevention.
