| Structural Integration FAQs | |||||||||
What is Structural Integration (SI)? |
|||||||||
Structural Integration is a 10 session series of bodywork that utilizes myofascial techniques to orient the body around a vertical axis, thus improving its relationship with gravity, typically resulting in increased energy and well being. |
|||||||||
How long is a SI session? |
|||||||||
Structural Integration sessions are typically 75 minutes in length but may be slightly longer or shorter depending on the client. |
|||||||||
Why are there 10 sessions? |
|||||||||
Restructuring the body takes time and patience. We use 10 sessions to adequately interact with the entire body. Clients will benefit most when the changes are made slowly and over time so the body can adapt to its new structure. We focus on different and specific parts of the body each session and no session is ever the same. |
|||||||||
Do I have to do all 10 sessions? |
|||||||||
In order to be properly integrated it is best to do all 10 sessions. This is something you will only have to do once in your life. After the initial 10 sessions it may only be necessary to occasionally do "maintenance" work to make sure the body is utilizing its new structure properly. |
|||||||||
How should I dress for the SI session? |
|||||||||
SI sessions are performed with partial clothing. Usually, clients can wear a bra, sports bra, or bikini top, with similar bottoms. |
|||||||||
Is there any lubricant used for the SI session? |
|||||||||
In order to effect the deepest layers of tissue, no lubricant is used. Some cocoa butter may be used if the skin is particularly dry. |
