Structural integration seeks to rearrange the fascia, or the connective tissue within the body. This tissue is responsible for connecting and supporting the vital parts of the body, all muscles, bones, nerves and organs. The purpose of fascia is to be able to move with the muscles, with elasticity and no tension. However, the fascial system is very intricate and when it becomes out of place, or tight in certain areas, a resulting tension will occur, causing pain within the joints, muscle soreness or misalignment in one’s posture. This can occur as a result of the effects of aging, injury, stress or constant repetitive motions, as they cause the connective tissue to become shorter and lose the elasticity. 

By seeking to rearrange and realign this tissue, through the process of structural integration, one can receive balance throughout the body, relieving this pain and any discomfort.  The body can, therefore, be realigned to work more efficiently as a whole. Structural integration involves techniques that include mild to light pressure and slow, deep movements which work to release tight of unaligned muscle nerves and tension within the body. 

Benefits can include:

• Altered and improved  posture and structure
• Relief from discomfort or any chronic stress
• Breathing can become easier
• Gained flexibility
• Comfort in own body
• Realignment of structure
• Gained and revitalised energy
• More refined movements
