Structural Integration
Alignment based bodywork in Bellingham
A process of alignment as bodywork to organize the body on your midline, establish the natural symphony of your inherent wellness so healing can move through.
What is Structural Integration?
Fascia realignment and organization. Deep work.
This is the original method of Structural Integration as taught by Dr. Ida P. Rolf! Here we get deep into the fascial body where old issues, patterns or injuries as been stored. It is a process of alignment as bodywork to organize the body on your midline, establish the natural symphony of your inherent wellness so healing can move through.
Through the course of our lives the connective tissue in our bodies, (fascia) gradually shortens, tightens, disorganizes, and adjusts to accommodate misalignments from injuries, poor posture and the demands of our daily lives. We simply get banged around in life.
Structural Integration (SI) is a system of 10 or more progressive treatments to improve posture and correct alignment by manipulating, lengthening, and realigning fascial tissue.
SI provides relief for the effects of misalignment due to gravity, hard physical work, stress, disease and injury.

What does Structural Integration feel like?
This is considered deep work but it is not deep tissue massage. The experience is entirely subjective and everyone has their own response to this work. Some feel momentary discomfort while others feel immediate relief.
Most everyone feels a deeps sense of freedom and continuity in their body after a treatment. The depth and pressure is based on your needs, preference and feedback.
Structural Integration can help with the following issues:
Back pain
Cervical pain
Chronic pain
And much more…
What to Expect in a Structural Integration/ Rolfing Session:
In your structural integration session you will get:
A check in to tailor your session to your needs
Time on the massage table with hands on palpations and deep tissue work
Focused time on improving your problem areas
Coaching through breath or movement during the rolfing session
Structural integration unwinds your fascia that is tight or restricted so you can get out of pain and feel more bounce in your every step.
Real Client Results
“Brooke came to me when I was in the hospital. I had been severely injured in a skydiving accident which left me paralyzed from the waist down, destined to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair.
I had no expectations, when you are living in a hospital, everyone gives you their own 10 cents worth of ‘what you should do’. Most of them, by the way, do not work.
Brooke on the other hand was like night and day. Her techniques, combining energy and Structural Integration methods made an absolute difference in my condition. Both physically and mentally I felt better each minute Brooke kneeled by my side.
I still see Brooke today, and I walk to her office up a flight of stairs.”

Touch was never meant to be a luxury. It is a basic human need. It is an action that validates life and gives hope to both the receiver and the giver. The healing of touch is reciprocal.
