Structural Integration - fascial, neural and visceral manipulation
Get started on the path to balance
Structural Integration, including Fascial, Neural and Visceral Manipulation
We often say "Everything is connected", the body as an interconnected system - fascia, nerves and organs all influence how we move and feel.
This integrative approach addresses the structural, neural and visceral relationships that shape our posture, movements and how we feel about ourselves and our bodies.
Fascial Manipulation helps to rebalance fascial tension through the whole body.
Neural Manipulation restores local nerve glide and enhances functioning of the nervous system.
Visceral Manipulation to improve the structural relationship between the organs, fascial attachments, nerves and musculoskeletal structures.
Visceral and Neural Integration
Visceral and Neural Integration is the process of integrating the visceral and neural systems with the rest of the body.
Based on Visceral and Neural Manipulation as has been developed by the French osteopath Jean Pierre Barral, this complements Structural Integration. Structural Integration is traditionally concerned with fascial restrictions in relation to our musculoskeletal system. Visceral and Neural Integration add another layer of depth to these sessions.
Especially when visceral or neural restrictions have become tangled up in the compensation patterns and pain experience. Visceral mobility influences how free we are able to move our bodies.
Clinical Myofascial & Scar Tissue Therapy
Structural Integration and Scar Tissue and Clinical Myofascial Release sessions for specific needs, or Fascial Flow for deep relaxation.
Is scar tissue holding you back?
As part of Structural Integration we pay attention to scar tissue and its potential to cause restrictions in the fascial tissue, leading to reduced joint movement, weakened muscular strength and the emotional component of the experience. Scar Tissue Bodywork can be booked as a separate treatment or as part of any Structural Bodywork sessions.
Any structural balance session, including massage and bodywork aims to bring you back on your path to balance.
Pain Management
Many people are suffering from persistent, or chronic pain, and are looking for an effective way to find relief from pain. When we are talking about persistent pain, we mean the type of pain that sticks around after a period of 3 to 6 months or longer. Often there is not a clear answer to why the pain is still there, and often investigations in what is going on, are not giving any clear answers.
There are so many treatment options out there that it is sometimes difficult to see the wood for the trees. What works for one person does not necessarily works for everyone, and this can be difficult and frustrating if you are trying to figure out what can be useful for managing your pain.
Structural Integration is one of these options and can be useful for managing persistent pain. It is an alternative therapy and can be used alongside more conventional treatment options. As part of my Pain Management studies, I have created an evidence-based information resource on Structural Integration for Persistent pain. Aiming to provide you with the information needed to decide if this is the right way forward for you.
