Any imbalance in the body - no matter what the cause - is imprinted as change in the
internal structure and has long-range and cumulative effect. The body may attempt to return
to its original state but without assistance it remains misaligned. For example, when
someone sprains an ankle it is only natural to protect it by keeping as much weight as
possible to the uninjured side of the body. Soon, you experience pain in the uninjured hip,
knee or ankle due to compensation. This natural response to the injury changes the entire
body's relationship to the gravitational field, and the neuromuscular system is repatterned
as part of this process. You have all experienced compensation pain.


What is it?
Structural Integration is a system of working with a human which aims to align the human
body in the gravitational field. The claimed benefit is that the increased use of balance at
finer levels of the neuro-fascial-musculo-skeletal system allows for increased general well-
being and physical adaptability and resilience as well as reduced pain from biomechanically
caused pain. Structural Integration practitioners are trained in the application of functional
biomechanical and kinesiological analysis and in effective ways of changing a client's
structure. Often connective tissue, in the form of fascia, is manipulated to allow body
segments to shift to a more balanced position. Re-education of the clients movement
patterns and other modalities are commonly used to achieve or support the goal of
improved alignment.


Why it’s needed?
Most people are structurally challenged: fighting to be upright in gravity. Is it difficult to stand
on your own two feet without some sort of ache or pain telling you to sit down? When you sit
down is it too much effort to sit up straight so you slouch? Does movement seem to take
more effort than necessary, and are you feeling rigid and less resilient as you get older?
Fighting with gravity supports poor alignment and will result in poor health. Structural
Integration is a process that helps rid the body of this poor alignment by bringing it into
balance in the gravitational field, ridding it of poor health in the process. It restores the
structure to function, placing the ability to heal at its disposal.
