Release and balance the superficial tissues of the ribcage, shoulder girdle, and relationship between pelvis/hips and ribcage. Mobilize the hips to accommodate improved mobility of the rib cage.
SESSION 2
Creating a Stable Foundation
Create a strong foundation in feet and lower legs. Connecting the legs to the pelvis through primary and secondary joint mobility.
SESSION 3
Improving Rotational Power and Stability
Create balance between front and back, and the sides. Releasing overlapped oblique structures of the rib cage.
SESSION 4
Core: Intrinsic Stability
Ground the leg and pelvis from the inner arches to the pelvic floor (only if assessed as required).
SESSION 5
Core: Deep Hip Flexors
Integrate and balance the legs and spine through the deep abdominal core. Psoas and superficial core work.

EACH SESSION INCLUDES:
-
Intake and Postural Analysis – Feedback from the client is considered in my plan for defining goals of the work.
-
Deep Tissue Bodywork – based on assessment and needs/interest of the client.
-
Awareness Dialogue – discussion around the sessions’ focus through understanding the experience and influence of the region being released. I believe that educating the client regarding the relationships in the body will lead to ownership and empowerment in the process of SI.
-
Movement Education – relative to the sessions’ focus and its influence on the body as a whole.
The bodywork makes it easier to maintain improved alignment. Clients experience longer lasting changes when they apply the movement lessons given in each session.
The standard format for receiving structural integration is in a series of 10 to 12 sessions. Each session has its specific focus and benefits. In combination, the sessions have accumulative and synergistic effects. By following this protocol, a person can achieve release in very deep parts of the body, and many people have found this process to give them lasting change and natural relief.
