About Us

Bull City Soles is a collaborative group of independent practitioners focused on long-term, whole-body health. For clients, we offer Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage, Rolfing® Structural Integration, and private Sauna + Cold Plunge. For massage therapists, we host small-group barefoot massage classes and 1:1 mentoring as the Durham campus of NC Barefoot Massage (part of the Center for Barefoot Massage network).

We bring independent practitioners together under one roof to deliver specialized bodywork, Rolfing® Structural Integration, and recovery services that support long-term, whole-body health.

 

Therapeutic bodywork plus private Infrared Sauna & Cold Plunge (contrast therapy) to boost circulation, reduce inflammation, and extend results between sessions.
