About Structural Integration:
Structural Integration is an advanced method of bodywork that systematically releases patterns of stress and impaired functioning in the body’s myofascial system. “Myo” means muscle, and “fascia” means connective tissue = myofascia. The Structural Integration Practitioner is trained to see your body as a myofascial structure balanced within the all-pervasive field of gravity we live in. When any part of your structure is out of balance in gravity, stress is always the result. Structural Integration is your body’s stress-reliever, providing relief of many degenerative conditions throughout the body.
What brings us out of balance?
Gravitational forces, illness, injury and emotional stress impact the healthy myofascial system. Under these conditions fascia dehydrates, shortens, and literally glues itself to any neighboring body part. Our bones stay the same length and our muscles can still function, but the shortened connective tissues pull the body into compression and rotation patterns. The body responds to these imbalances by decreasing mobility, which in time becomes a patterned response or “the new you.” Many supposed debilitating conditions are the result of this downward-spiraling syndrome and can be reversed.
How does Structural Integration Work?
Structural Integration uses slow, specific, often deep strokes and manual manipulations in the myofascial system to systematically lengthen, open and rebalance compression patterns. The body changes because imbalances in the tissues are reorganized. This systematic approach to relating the body to gravity through the myofascial layers aligns the body and improves posture. Length develops in the body, allowing the reorganized muscles the space to work and the joints the freedom to function. The “old age” shrinking is arrested and feeling of discomfort and pain often vanish. You are also given helpful postural and movement awareness in your sessions to effortlessly maintain your new flexibility in everyday life.
