Structural Integration was developed by Dr. Ida Rolf, and it’s done over the course of a series of bodywork sessions. It might look like a massage in a lot of ways, but I’m also calling for movements while the client and I are working together, as well as looking overall at posture and functional alignment within the structure.
Structural Integration looks at lining up the fascia in the body and lining up the tendons, the ligaments, the muscles, and the bones in such a way that we can more easily move through the world and do our activities. Typically, when I do a series of twelve Structural Integration sessions, I’m working on creating more balance, and even tone through the body. People may have more energy, and feel like many of their range of motion challenges or pains might be alleviated.
Rather than addressing specific pains, the goal is to improve function and balance within the body. In doing so, those specific pains are often resolved through the process of the Structural Integration series. Clients come in, and I work with them to achieve greater ease in their bodies, improved balance, and a feeling of new possibilities.
