Structural Integration is a holistic system combining soft tissue manipulation and movement education to restore the body to its natural state of alignment and balance. Structural Integration lengthens, restores and reorganizes the connective tissue of the body also known as fascia. Unlike other forms of bodywork where the focus is on the specific area that is causing you pain, Structural Integration looks at the "big picture" - your whole body. 

You will attain a sense of lift in your body. Your breathing pattern will be addressed by releasing the superficial fascia of the ribs and thorax.
