What is Structural Integration?

Instead of focusing on each symptom, the brilliant 10-session series founded by Dr. Ida Rolf seeks to create a more balanced whole. This series, known as Structural Integration (SI) progressively unwinds the old holding patterns in the fascia by integrating the body with the field of gravity.

Sessions are done mostly lying down. By working deeply with my hands (elbows, and forearms), the body becomes lighter, more resilient, and set up to progressively unwind even after completing the 10 series. Instead of fighting against the ever-present force of gravity, we may find ourselves lifted up. As we find alignment, there is the possibility to move past pain and connect with our innate, infinite capacity for healing.

Testimonials

  • “I have been in pain for a very long time due to an injury from my nursing job 7 years ago. I have done physical therapy, all kinds of different injections, and was even offered pain medications that I refused, and have still not had any kind of relief, just minor improvements.

    I went to see Isabella…. and she changed my life in one visit. I have seen results after every single appointment, like immediately my body feels stronger and my injuries shrinking. I wish everyone in pain could get this relief. It is life changing, I can’t express this enough! Isabella was caring, accommodating, and makes you feel at ease. She is really passionate about healing and shows it through her work!”

  • “Structural Integration is not for the faint of heart-it is deep work that has the potential to reorganize your whole structure. I stacked up a number of sports injuries throughout high school and college, which led to compensation patterns and gross imbalances in my body. And pain. Structural Integration is the most effective modality I have found to unwind these imbalances and build a new sense of alignment in my body. And it works synergistically with physical therapy and yoga, etc.

    Isabella has been a wonderful guide through the process - she is a great listener and highly intuitive. I leave each session feeling like a new person, and she is good at checking in to see how each session lands.

    At this point, my chronic pain is gone, and I am well on my way to feeling free in my body again.”
