Frequently Asked Questions About Structural Integration

    Structural Integration is a type of bodywork that can help improve your posture, flexibility, and range of motion. But it can be a little confusing to figure out what it is and how it works. Here are some of the most common questions people ask about Structural Integration:

What distinguishes Structural Integration from therapeutic massage?

    What distinguishes Structural Integration from therapeutic massage is that Structural Integration is a whole-body approach that addresses the body as an integrated system. The goal of Structural Integration is to create balance and harmony in the body, which can improve posture, movement, and function. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort, or if your mobility or range of motion is limited, you may benefit from Structural Integration. Some of the benefits of Structural Integration include improved posture, increased flexibility and mobility, reduced pain and tension, and a sense of ease and well-being. In addition, Structural Integration helps to restore balance in the body, which can prevent or reduce the risk of injury.

What does the treatment feel like?

    Most people feel nothing during their treatment, although a few people report feeling a sense of warmth. However, any sensation quickly dissipates. You will be able to continue your day, as usual, following your session. The only thing you may need to change is how you sit or stand for the remainder of the day, you may feel slightly more flexible than usual. Some people report that they feel very tired after their treatment and need to take it easy for the rest of the day. This usually passes within a few hours.

How many sessions will I need?

Your Structural Integration therapist will work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your individual needs. Typically, most people will require between five and ten sessions. However, some may need more or less depending on their condition. If you have any questions about how many sessions you will need, be sure to speak with your therapist. They can help you determine the best course of action for you.

How long will the physical effects last?

To keep the effects of Structural Integration lasting as long as possible, clients need to practice good posture and alignment habits both during and after treatment. If maintained properly, the positive physical changes brought on by Structural Integration can last anywhere from several months to a lifetime. Also, some people find that they need periodic tune-ups to maintain their improved posture and alignment, while others report that they feel better now than ever before, even after many years have passed.

What will you be working on throughout each session?

    There is a lot of work that goes into every session of structural integration. You can expect to be working on the entire body throughout each treatment. This includes your neck, shoulders, back, hips, and legs. Each area will be targeted specifically to help improve your range of motion and overall mobility. You may also find that you have more energy and feel more relaxed after each session. If you have any questions about what to expect during your treatment, be sure to ask your practitioner. They will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

What should I do to prepare for my sessions?
