Structural Integration in Practice
Insights into the Treatment
A treatment with Structural Integration takes place in a calm and focused atmosphere. It begins with a brief discussion and the observation of posture while standing and the analysis of movements.
Afterwards, the manual treatment of the fascial tissue begins. Clients usually lie on the treatment couch; however, the treatment sometimes also takes place while sitting or standing.
Targeted, deeply effective fascial release techniques loosen the fascial tissue, make it pliable, and realign it. Small movement impulses and perception exercises accompany the manual work and make changes tangible.
The focus is on jointly exploring and improving posture, movement, and body awareness. Each treatment addresses a specific area or theme.

FAQ
What should I wear or bring to the session?
For the treatment, please wear underwear or comfortable, close-fitting clothing (e.g., sports shorts and a top) so that the fascial tissue is easily accessible for the therapist.
Do I need to actively participate during the session?
Yes, in part. During the course of the treatment, you will repeatedly perform small movement impulses and perception exercises to better perceive and integrate changes.
May I exercise after the treatment?
No. After the treatment, you are usually too tired for a workout. Furthermore, changes in the fascial tissue often disrupt accustomed body coordination for a short period. However, a walk, for example, is advisable to get used to the altered body sensation.
