Structural Integration/Bodywork

So often lingering problems relate to some aspect of our body’s alignment and structural balance. Structural integration looks at our body as a whole and works to help it function in the best possible way it can. We live every day under the pressure of gravity but we have our own internal life force that pushes us up against it. Through the course of our lives injury, stress, emotional trauma, etc, can tighten us up and make it more difficult to stand up straight and tall and move through the world efficiently and gracefully. By systematically working with the entire body to open up restrictions in our tissues we can have the most comfortable and functional body possible.

Structural integration requires a series of sessions, in the school I was trained in the series consists of 12 sessions. For more detailed information on the content of these sessions look at the following documents: KMI SI Explained (pdf-document), Getting the Most From KMI (pdf-document) and Summary of the twelve session protocol (Word-document).

As a general rule the work is intense and requires client participation but with that the changes and benefits will be in line with what is put in.
