Structural Integration
Structural Integration is a form of bodywork that focuses on aligning and balancing the body's structure. It aims to improve posture, movement, and overall well-being by manipulating the body's connective tissues, particularly fascia. Practitioners use hands-on techniques to release tension and restore proper alignment, which can enhance physical performance and reduce pain.
The process typically involves a series of sessions, each targeting different areas of the body. Clients may experience increased flexibility, improved range of motion, and a greater sense of body awareness. Structural Integration is often associated with the work of Ida Rolf, who developed the method in the mid-20th century.
