Structural Integration in Mysterton, Townsville

Structural Integration

Structural integration is one of the best adjunctive approaches to chronic muscular pain syndromes and postural dysfunction, emphasizing prevention as well as education. It takes into account the body’s anatomical structure, nervous system, emotional well-being and physical experience – what your body has been through physically over the years.

Getting your physical health back on line is a process, Massage Structural Integration gives you a multilevel educational experience that works holistically. Typically, after a thorough assessment you will go through a dynamic hands-on series of ten 90 minute myofascial restructuring and postural education sessions.

How Structural Integration Helps?

Although Structural Integration may be effective for pain, or relief of tension, it is recognised that pain and tension are usually the result of an overall pattern of imbalance occurring in your body. Rather than treating the pain or tension “symptom” of this imbalance, we focus on rebalancing your entire body, so that it can exist in an optimal state of balance and grace.

It is not a remedy for illness; rather, it is a process in which you are moved from your current “average” state to your optimal level of health and wellbeing.

When posture, flexibility and range of motion are maximised to your body type and shape you will be in a better position to achieve your fitness goals.

The 10 sessions are broken into three groups to address various aspects of the body.

Superficial

The first group of sessions (3) will focus on the superficial layers and tissues, loosening up connections that may be restricting movement in the body. These three sessions will focus on the breath and upper body, the feet and legs, and the arms, shoulders and trunk respectively.

Core

The second group of sessions (4) focuses on opening up the core of the body. This will address the deeper musculature and connective tissues which assist in fine motor movement and helps to create a fluid, ease of movement within the body.

Integration

The last group of sessions (3) focuses on the integration of the various parts of the body to create horizontal and vertical balance, pattern reversal, greater transverse movement and healthy joint functionality.

Individual Bodywork Sessions

You can come as required for individual bodywork sessions. These sessions can focus on changes or symptoms that need resolving. At Integrated Health – Integrated Life, we work with you to suit your lifestyle needs.

“In Structural Integration, we expect to give a cycle of ten sessions. There is a reason for this. We are not dealing with local problems. We are not dealing with the kind of thing that you can say, “Well, I fixed that, that’s all.” We are dealing with intent to make a body more secure, more adequate within the field of gravity. This requires that muscles be balanced, and need to be balanced around a vertical line. And, when I talk about balancing muscles, I’m talking about balancing the right side against the left side. About balancing the front of the body against the back of the body, and finally, about balancing the innermost muscles against the outermost, the inside against the outside, this is the most important of those balances, and we start from the outside working in, and it takes us ten hours before we can get to the place where we can really balance the outside against the inside.”

– Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D.

Testimonials

What our clients say

I work physically hard building and repairing bridges culverts and tracks. I have looked after my body with monthly chiropractor, acupuncture and massage. But I was continually in severe pain with my back, and I thought I may not be able to work at all in my chosen profession. After the first Structural Integration session I felt alive for the first time. I have completed the 10 sessions and my body feels more elastic and flexible and I would never have believed that I can do so many more things at work now. I feel happier as my body recovers well each day.

The Structural Integration experience helped me gain further insight into areas of my body that is holding tension and pain, and how movement is restricted. I enjoyed the experience as I felt comfortable with Debra, who was very client-centred communicating well with me on each aspect of the therapy.

After the first session I feel dramatically “loosened”. I feel very positive about long-term beneficial affects.

Structural Integration series of 10 sessions has helped me greatly with my alignment, health and general awareness about my body.

As a chronic sufferer of back pain and related symptoms and one who has been dependent on physiotherapists, chiropractors, masseurs etc. for most of my life, I must say that Debra’s therapy of Structural Integration has produced results which are nothing short of spectacular!

I consider these 10 bodywork sessions to have been a journey of self-discovery. This is an on-going process but the Hellerwork Structural Integration has helped me become more in-touch with myself and its components and inter-relationships. From here I can only go forward. Thank You!

The Hellerwork Structural Integration Series of 10 sessions has helped my muscles a great deal. Walking better, feeling better, enjoying life more. I have more Energy!

I have felt great relief from constant dull pain especially in my neck and shoulders.

A very good experience, structural integration is very different to anything I have had before.

1. There was a substantial increase in myofascial movement
2. Considerable increase in joint articulation
3. Sustained improvement in structural integration and reduction in bodily impairment from cerebral palsy
4. Noticeable reduction in neuralgic pain

After the structural integration series of 10 sessions, I have experienced less pain and longer periods of ease. I have also felt an improved sense of balance and body awareness.

Although I have a leg length difference on 25mm that cannot be corrected, in combination with a structural pelvis height difference on the same leg, plus scoliosis, Hellerwork Structural Integration has dramatically improved my posture and general well-being.

The relief from pain has been magnificent, I sleep better, wake more refreshed and maintain an exercise program for enjoyment purposes. Hellerwork Structural Integration has helped significantly, to improve my quality-of-life experiences.

Hellerwork structural Integration series of 10 sessions is a wonderful therapy that helps you reflect on your life form the beginning of birth to the present moment, and how your body reflects how you are within both mind and spirit.

Debra your work on my body has given me the awareness that we can all benefit from the 10 session Structural Integration series more than words can say.
