Structural Integration
Single treatments
Also known as “spot” treatments, single treatments are a great introduction to the work. Using the same protocol of viewing the entire body and working to bring it back to alignment, these sessions focus on the immediate area of pain and work to relieve your discomfort and suffering. I usually recommend further treatments, such as a ten series or a minimum.
Ten series
The foundation of all Structural Integration work is the Ten Series. Each session is designed to gently move deeper into the structural holding patterns of connective tissue and works to release them in a way that allows your natural alignment to emerge. Through this process, we work on the entire body from feet to head, and fingertip to fingertip. One of the key aspects of Structural Integration is that it works through many areas that may not be seen as vital to alignment but can directly affect the body’s overall function.
It is important to complete the entire 10 series to receive the full benefits and long-term healing effects from Structural Integration.
Sessions can be booked from one week to one month apart. It is generally best not to have sessions booked more than one month apart. If necessary, missed sessions can be caught up and often you can still move forward with the ten series.
Working with children and young adults
People often ask me if I work with children, and the answer is always YES! There are many reasons for children to require treatments, they are affected by the physical and emotional stages of growing up, as well as encountering some injury in the process of growing up. I work with children ranging from a few weeks old to pre-teens and young adults. Some children change and respond very quickly to the work, only needing a few minutes, while other children, with chronic conditions, and postural or musculoskeletal concerns, require more work, such as the complete ten series. As every child and situation is different, please don’t hesitate to ask me about treatment for your child. We will work together to find the best results.
