How it Works
Structural Integration corrects posture, tension, and imbalance in the body, allowing for new possibility in movement and a sense of well-being and uprightness. This is accomplished by working on the connective tissue that envelopes each muscle, organ, bone, and nerve.
“When I talk about balancing muscles, I’m talking about balancing the right side with the left side. Balancing the front of the body against the back of the body, and finally, balancing the innermost muscles with the outermost, the inside working with the outside, this is the most important of these balances, and we start from the outside working in…”
– Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D.
This connective tissue is called fascia and is the organ that gives you shape. When you get stressed, the connective tissue contracts.
Physical stresses, accidents, traumas, along with emotional pain can cause knotting or a shortening of the tissue.
Cause and effect – Form follows function. Patterns get formed, causing people to get out of alignment, and out of balance. What happens on the right side affects the left side, and the loads we place on the front of our body will demand something from the back of the body. People suffer at one time or another from back, shoulder, or neck pain which are all symptom’s of structural imbalance.
Muscle and connective tissue have a memory and patterns that it holds onto. Direct pressure on connective tissue, with the effort of the practitioner and client to release holding patterns, the fascia learns a new way of being.
