Range of Motion (ROM) Enhancement

Structural Integration is specialized modality that aims to align the human body in the gravitational field. The purported benefit is that the increased use of balance at finer levels of the neuro-fascial-musculo-skeletal system allows for increased general well being and physical adaptability and resilience as well as reducing biomechanically caused pain. Structural Integration practitioners are trained in the application of functional biomechanical and kinesiological analysis. Often connective tissue (specifically fascia) is manipulated to allow body segments to shift to a more balanced position.

By creating length and space within the soft tissue through gentle pressure and touch, we give the body the room and freedom it needs to align itself. The practitioner facilitates the release of old held patterns in the body that may have been the result of past injury, illness, physical or emotional trauma. Even the stress of daily living, or slouching in front of a computer for six hours a day is enough to create unhealthy/unbalanced patterns in our structure.

By releasing old patterns like the one described, we can re-educate the body. We create more options. If it feels uncomfortable or exhausting to sit up straight, we release those soft tissue patterns that "hold our shoulders down". We still have the choice to slump, but when we release those restrictive patterns we now also have the option of sitting comfortably with better posture. We re-educate the body so that we utilize our energy much more efficiently.

Benefits

Often people feel lighter and more energetic.
Some people will grow taller as rotations in the body begin to unwind.
People often appear slimmer and feel more balanced.
Chronic aches and pains are reduced and often alleviated, and movement feels more fluid and flexible.
As we begin to view the world from a more stable and balanced structure, we gain self-confidence and the environment appears less threatening.
As our body becomes more flexible and open, so does our mind -- we approach life from a less rigid standpoint.
