What is the difference between Structural Integration and Massage Therapy?
Massage Therapy provides individuals with a number of benefits, such as the relief of muscle tension and pain. Structural Integration changes the structure of the body to correct the sources of tension and pain. It encourages the body to find new ways to organize and balance itself. Structural Integration aligns and balances the body by lengthening and repositioning the fascia. As fascia is lengthened it allows the muscles to move more efficiently. The practitioner will apply pressure to the body, working the entire fascial system in a systematic way. When restricted fascia is released and lengthened the body can return to its structurally optimal position.
