Structural Integration 

Structural Integration is a therapy that combines fascial manipulation, body awareness and movement re-education. It is arranged in a properly organized series of sessions, based on specially designed work from the whole, aimed at rebuilding postural balance and functional ease of movement by centering and integrating the body in the field of gravity.
Benefits of Structural Integration treatments

Over time, with the force of gravity, the body can contract and stiffen to adapt to the stress of everyday life, injuries or unconscious, harmful daily movement patterns (related to work/daily activities). All these factors accumulate and can turn into general body stiffness, pain, fatigue and lack of a sense of vitality/well-being. The 10 sessions of Structural Integration are an individual and personal process of striving for better balance, feeling more body awareness and integration (in the force of gravity that we all experience every day), and feeling more effective and beneficial in:

– performing daily activities (better movement ergonomics)
– performing any physical activity (sports)
– breathing
– maintaining correct body posture
– a general feeling of greater vitality/well-being
– recovering from heavy physical (and also mental) exertion
– quality of sleep and relaxation

What can you expect from Structural Integration sessions?

Postural changes are made by manipulating the myofascial system in the body. All manual therapy is therefore directed more towards the fascia than just the muscles (unlike regular massage). This work uses a variety of techniques and pressures that are designed to lengthen and reposition the fascia in the body; these include slow and deep stretching movements while maintaining the appropriate pressure at all times. (The patient may be asked to move while pressure is applied to the tissue or to stand up and move freely during the session.)

The sensations in the body that the patient can experience can be varied – from a feeling of pleasant warmth, tickling/stretching, to sometimes a little less comfortable (but always adjusted to the possibilities and ranges of the individual, on the basis of a common “dialogue”).

 

Part of the Structural Integration session can be movement re-education, during which the therapist helps the patient identify an unfavourable/unconscious movement habit and helps transform it into a more conscious and fluid movement pattern.

Structural Integration is organized into a series of 10 sessions that systematically address the appropriate areas of the body and the movements they perform.
At the beginning of each session, the patient is asked to provide information regarding their health status, medical history, possible injuries/accidents, surgeries, physical and psychological traumas that may have an impact on their current physical health.

Before 1st session

The patient is asked to come in sportswear (shorts, a tank top, sports underwear).

The therapist will observe the patient's body posture while standing and moving before the first therapy in order to assess the patient's mobility, balance, and linear body alignment and movement patterns.

With the patient's consent (and only for their use), and in an appropriate manner, the therapist may take photos of the patient after each session in order to observe the progress of the session, and after 10 sessions - to discuss and show the full effect of the treatments.

After each session

The patient is asked to drink 2 glasses more water to facilitate the 'flushing out' of possible toxins from the tissues and to hydrate them better.

He will avoid greater physical activity for at least 24 hours after the procedure.
