Structural Integration

Structural Integration - Long term results

10 series - In depth approach to Dr. Ida Rolf's recipe unfolding over the couse of 10 sessions

After initial 10 series, 3, 5, and 7 series are offered after a time of Integration. 

1 session "fix - its" are available, but I would always recommend the complete series in order to ensure we address all areas of the body for more of a long term result.

Each session has a dedicated territory and goals to be attained that will continue to build throughout the series. Sessions will include assessments, manual therapy on the table, and benchwork. This is a process dependent on the client and practitioner relationship, movements or moments of awareness may be asked during the session, this is the layer of mind-body connection that will ensure more permanent results. Assessments are best done wearing a sports bra and shorts for women, and shorts for men.

The Structural Integration process enables the body to regain the natural integrity of its form, thus enhancing postural efficiency and your freedom of movement.

Rolfing Structural Integration has the ability to dramatically alter a person's posture and structure. Rolfing SI can potentially resolve discomfort, release tension and alleviate pain. Rolfing SI aims to restore flexibility, revitalize your energy and leave you feeling more comfortable in your body. The genius of the work rests on Dr. Rolf's insight that the body is more at ease and functions most effectively when its structure is balanced in gravity.

Athletes, dancers, children, business professionals, and people from all walks of life have benefited from Rolfing SI. People seek Rolfing SI as a way to ease pain and chronic stress, and improve performance in their professional and daily activities. It's estimated that more than 1 million people have received Rolfing work.

Research has demonstrated that Rolfing SI creates a more efficient use of the muscles, allows the body to conserve energy, and creates more economical and refined patterns of movement. Research also shows that SI significantly reduces chronic stress and changes in the body structure. For example, a study showed that SI significantly reduced the spinal curvature of subjects with lordosis (sway back); it also showed that SI enhances neurological functioning.
