Mana body works S.I. — Local services in Honolulu

Wow, Mana is the best out there. As a dancer /stunt woman I absolutely create and exponential amount of wear and tear on my body. I’ve had traditional massage, sports massage, and Thai massage prior to my session with Mana but never Rolfing. I can honestly say that I feel open and “released “ if you will from the tension in my body that was causing me very crippling tension and stiffness. I went to dance practice (breakdancing of all arts) a few hours later and progressed further than I have in a while because my body was in alignment and where it was supposed to be. When I woke up in the morning I felt open and like I could breathe finally. I’m a believer of Rolfing now. Mana is the best because he really senses where the problem areas are by touch and has a passion for fixing things. With Manas skill set plus his intent, he is able to really address any and all problem areas without me having to actually describe and pinpoint each area. It didn’t stop at just body work, after our session he gave me advice and info on how to properly engage your core in order to maintain good posture. He informed me of the repercussions of shrugging my shoulders when resting my elbows on a surface when I’m at my computer or in my phone. Mana is a hub of knowledge. I trust my body with him, which is huge because I need my body for my art/work. Grateful that I was referred to Mana and I willl continue to refer him to those that I care about most. I’m excited to see where I’ll be at...

I can’t speak highly enough about the Rolfing/Structural Integration bodywork I received from Mana! I have been struggling with lower back pain and pelvic misalignment for years and have tried every other modality. Mana transformed my healing process with his treatments which has given me the gift of body awareness to ensure lasting results.

I would recommend Mana's work to everyone. If you have a specific injury or insecurity he is great at providing the attention you need. Mana provides a safe place to unwind, open up, learn, and heal. He always listens and provides what you need in the moment, even if you aren't sure what you need.

He gave me tips to use daily that have restored my overall confidence about my body. I am taller, less crooked, and have built so much awareness in how I care for and move my body thanks to...

Rolfing is a lot greater than a regular massage. I have a S curvature in my spine from scoliosis. As a result I’ve lived with back problems that hinders my movement especially when I surf. The left side of my back compensates for the right side leaving my left side feeling significantly sore and tight. After completing a handful of rolfing sessions with Mana, my body feels more aligned. There is an improved difference when I walk. Each footstep feels a lot more evenly planted on the ground. My hips also feel more balanced and spine straighter. After my sessions with Mana I often think, “So this is what it feels like to have a normal spine!” I always look forward to my next...
