Born in Ukraine, my relationship with movement began early. At six years old, I joined a Ukrainian folk-dance ensemble and was immediately drawn to rhythm, coordination, and storytelling through the body.

When my family moved to Israel at age ten, that curiosity expanded into ballroom dance. By sixteen, I had relocated to Philadelphia and was immersed in the competitive ballroom world, traveling across North America and learning what it meant to live inside high-performance movement.

A Shift in Perspective

Years of elite training taught me something important: effort and talent alone aren’t sustainable without supportive mechanics.  

As the demands on my body increased, so did my curiosity. I began exploring biomechanics, Anatomy Trains® Structural Integration, and the work of Erik Franklin—not to fix movement, but to better understand it.

This shift from doing movement to studying structure fundamentally changed how I relate to the body.

My Approach to Care

Today, I bring my background as a dancer and athlete into a Structural Integration practice rooted in observation, organization, and exploration.

I believe the way we inhabit our structure shapes how we experience life: how we move, breathe, recover, and adapt. By combining hands-on structural work with a movement-informed perspective, I help clients explore new options in their bodies and develop greater resilience over time.

My Work Focuses on:

From the Stage to the Study of Structure

  • Supporting the body’s fascial system to reorganize toward balance and ease, creating more sustainable alignment and long-term structural support

  • Improving how the body relates to gravity, rather than fighting it, allowing standing and movement to feel more supported, efficient, and effortless

  • Helping dense or tethered tissue regain glide and relationship with the rest of the system, restoring continuity and reducing compensatory strain patterns

  • Reducing unnecessary strain and opening up new movement possibilities through biomechanics, coordination, and improved structural communication throughout the body

What Sets Ros Apart

Tom Myers with Ros

Ros approaches each session with curiosity, care, and deep respect for the body’s intelligence. There is no set script or agenda. He listens first, through touch, movement, and conversation, and lets the work unfold based on what your body is ready for that day. The goal is not to fix you, but to support meaningful, lasting change in how you move and feel.

  • Every session starts with observing and listening. Ros takes time to understand your body, your history, and what brought you in, then works responsively rather than following a preset routine. Your body sets the pace and direction of the work.

  • Ros combines deep anatomical knowledge with a refined sensitivity developed through hands-on practice. Touch is precise, respectful, and intentional, supporting real change without forcing or overwhelming the system.

  • Rather than focusing on one symptom or area, Ros looks at how your entire body is organized and moving together. This approach helps address the underlying patterns that influence pain, posture, and efficiency.

  • The work is designed to create shifts that last rather than solving a problem. Sessions often include simple awareness or movement insights you can carry into daily life, supporting continued progress beyond the table.

  • Structural patterns often reflect adaptive responses to stress, injury, or life experience. Ros approaches this work with respect for those adaptations. Sessions unfold at a pace your system can integrate, with attention to safety, consent, and the body’s capacity for change. The intention is not to force release, but to support reorganization in a way that feels stable and grounded.

Client Reflections

  • — Chance S.

    “After only a couple of sessions of work with Ros, it quickly became apparent how insufficient standard deep tissue massage would be for helping with my long-term posture, stability, and chronic pain. The targeted releases have opened up areas that I didn't even know were restricted. My breathing has improved, and I more easily find a supported posture, which helps reduce fatigue and pain. I recommend working with Ros to anyone looking to gain greater mobility and reduced discomfort, as well as a deeper understanding of how their body functions as a whole.”

  • — Elizabeth B.

    Ros is precise, grounded, and skilled. I move better, breathe better, and feel more aligned. My knee pain is gone, shoulder pain is gone, and even a bunion is all but gone.

    I hesitated for years to do this type of work because I had heard that its close cousin, Rolfing, was so painful. Even when there is intense sensation, I can feel that it has a clear purpose. My body responds in real time, and the change feels lasting.

    Ros is calm, deeply attuned, and looks at my body as a whole system rather than individual parts. His work feels thoughtful, intentional, and rooted in deep anatomical understanding. I give him my highest recommendation.”

  • — Ruth M.

    “After doing the series with Ros, I assuredly have more access to my body — for strength building, for work especially when I’m on my feet, and for everyday activities. I’ve stayed injury free and continued to build a structural profile I hope will last me into very old age. I feel more supported in my posture, more efficient in my movement, and more confident in how my body will carry me forward.”

  • — Mike B.

    “I had tried Rolfing a few times before being referred to Ros, and those earlier experiences were uncomfortable and didn’t produce meaningful results, so I eventually stopped going.After receiving a recommendation from someone I deeply respect, I decided to try again. I hadn’t realized how restricted my shoulders, hips, really most of my body, had become. Since working with Ros, I feel noticeably lighter. Several long-standing issues have resolved or improved significantly, and the aching and soreness I had come to accept, especially at 60, are now minimal.What I appreciate most is Ros’s thoughtful, thorough approach. He explains how the muscles, fascia, and connective structures work together, and how alignment restores balance and ease. I can feel the difference in how I walk, move, and carry myself day to day.

    In fact, all six members of our family are now seeing Ros after witnessing the results my wife and I experienced. We couldn’t be more impressed.”

  • — Alison M.

    “I came to Ros at a point when I felt completely stuck in my body and didn’t know where to turn next. From the moment I met him, I felt a sense of hope and possibility I hadn’t felt in many years. There is something about the way he listens, observes, and works, carefully, thoughtfully, and respectfully, that creates a sense of deep trust and safety.

    Working with Ros has helped me better understand my body, shift long-held patterns of protection, and feel more freedom in how I move. I feel more resourced, more supported, and more at home in my body than I have in a very long time. I am deeply grateful to have found him.”

  • — Matt K.

    “After decades in the gym compensating my body to lift more and more weight while functioning in life, my body had limited flexibility that had become normal to me. Ros was able to explain what my body has done and then correct it. I had heard about structural integration many years ago when a friend wanted to become more flexible to practice martial arts, but his experience included a lot of pain.

    That is not the case with Ros. He gets results by taking his time to explain what he sees and what he is doing. His approach feels patient, intelligent, and tailored to the individual. I would encourage anyone to see Ros, as we all adjust our bodies over time from how we first received them at birth.”

  • — Enoch E.

    As a professional dancer, I put my body through a lot. Working with Ross has not only helped me with managing the stress I put my body through, but he has also helped me understand how to use my body more efficiently. Any person who uses their body at all, to any degree, should be working with Ros.

  • — Anastasia G.

    Anatomy Trains Structural Integration with Ros has changed my life. Not only have I learned so much about how the body works for me, but with Ros’s guidance I have been able to implement long lasting change. This is not like a relaxing massage that leaves you feeling the same as before just a few hours later. Be prepared for a deeper level of tissue release that may at times be uncomfortable and a little painful - but will leave you walking differently and thinking differently about your every day movements. It’s incredible how quickly our body picks up “bad” habits to compensate for things we may not be aware of. This system helps you find the balance it needs. Ros is excellent in pinpointing the areas that need the most help and then giving you simple homework to really make it permanent. Don’t wait - your body will thank you.
