ABSTRACT

Structural integration (SI) is an interactive approach to manual and movement therapy that also incorporates embodiment education. Since the gaining popularity of SI in the United States in the 1960s, people around the world have sought out structural integration for help with relieving pain and discomfort, improving posture and movement, and to enhance overall well-being. Structural integrators help their clients explore ways of experiencing their bodies with greater ease, comfort, and efficiency. Over the course of a series of sessions, usually 10–12, SI’s holistic approach is designed to address body-wide posture, movement, and pain patterns that have become habituated due to injury, stress, trauma, repetitive motion, or personality expression.
