When the segments of our body
are balanced around a central vertical axis, gravity can flow through the body and we are at ease in our body. When imbalance,
or misalignment exists, the body must make compensations in order to keep itself upright. Where our body compensates is in
the soft tissue, specifically in the myofascial system or connective tissue. The misalignment creates chronic strain within
this soft tissue network.

What do I wear?
Please wear underwear that you will be comfortable in for the session. For women, normal bras are usually better than sports bras which cover much of the upper back, and briefs or small shorts or two-piece swimsuits are fine. For men, briefs, swimming trunks or short boxers are fine. I need to observe and contact as much of the body as possible while respecting your modesty and comfort level. |

Art, like a skilled masseur on a playing-field, is always standing by to help casualties; and just as a masseur does, its ministrations ease up the tensions of the psyche's musculature, that is why it always goes for the sore places, its fingers pressing upon the knotted muscles, the tendon afflicted with cramp - the sins, perversions, displeasing points which we are reluctant to accept. Revealing them with harsh kindness it unravels the tensions, relaxes the psyche. (Lawrence Durrell)  |

How many sessions will I need?
Everyone is different, as part of the assessment process an exact number of sessions will be agreed upon. For structural integration generally the process is 12 or 3 separate and progressive sessions that each last 90 minutes. For sports and remedial massage each session generally lasts 60 minutes. |
