Why Structural Integration Could Be Right for You

Are you dealing with chronic pain, low energy, breathing restrictions, or limited flexibility? Poor posture and restricted movement patterns may be at the root of these issues. Structural integration, originally developed by Dr. Ida Rolf, addresses these underlying causes rather than simply masking symptoms, helping you move more freely, improve your gait, and feel better overall.
This work is ideal for anyone looking to:

Benefits

  • Improve posture and alignment
  • Reduce chronic pain or tension
  • Enhance flexibility, range of motion, and movement patterns
  • Support overall health and well-being
Structural integration is typically a series of 10–11 sessions, with each session focusing on a specific area of the body. The goal is to release restrictions and support vertical alignment in gravity, helping your body function more efficiently and move with greater ease.

What to Expect During a Structural Integration Session

Structural integration sessions typically include:
  • Assessment: Your therapist will evaluate posture, movement patterns, and areas of restriction.
  • Hands-on treatment: Techniques to release tension and improve alignment.
  • Movement re-education: Gentle guidance to help you integrate changes and improve how you move.
Sessions are interactive, so you’ll be on and off the table, moving through passive and active ranges of motion, and responding to cues for breathing and alignment. Please wear athletic shorts and a sports bra (if applicable). Structural integration is not a “relax and fall asleep” type of session — it’s hands-on and engaging, designed to help your body move more efficiently.

How Often Should I Schedule?

For best results, we recommend two sessions per month, though some clients benefit from scheduling up to once a week when starting out. Consistent sessions help retrain movement patterns, improve posture, and support long-term alignment and well-being.

Scarwork

ScarWork is used to help integrate scar tissue into the surrounding tissues. This therapy is extremely gentle and uses a variety of techniques to help smooth out gaps, ridges, lumps and bumps, strings, and knots that may be present in the scar. Numbness and redness from tissue trauma can also see improvement.
While Scarwork can help cosmetically, it is even more profound for changing the functionality of an area with scar tissue. Most post-surgical sites can be worked with four weeks post-surgery as long as the tissue is sealed on the surface. Even older scars can benefit from this work, especially if you are experiencing reduced sensation or “pulling” in the area.
