Sports Massage & Structural Integration

"It's all about movement..."

Structural Integration (Rolfing)
Structural Integration can help you move with greater ease and regain much of the youthful flexibility you thought you had lost forever.

You will:

feel taller
stand straighter
feel more energetic
stand, move or sit with greater comfort and ease
enjoy a renewed sense of wellbeing

Through a 10-session course of hands-on soft tissue manipulation, the body's structure is gradually realigned. Every aspect of the body's posture is evaluated for old injuries, accidents and postural habits so comfort can be systematically restored.

The effect of gravity is to pull bodies straight downwards, while human bodies want to be able to reach vertically upwards. An analogy can be drawn between bodies and a see-saw. After bodies are organized by Structural Integration, when gravity pulls down, it automatically provides lift to the bones like the lighter end of a see-saw. This provides automatic, instant and effortless movement.

In the words of the originator of Structural Integration, Dr. Rolf; "Some individuals may experience their losing fight with gravity as a sharp pain in their back, others as the unflattering contour of their body, or a constant fatigue or an unrelenting threatening environment. Those over forty may call it old age. Yet all these signals may be pointing to a single problem, so prominent in their own structure that it has been ignored; they are off balance. They are at war with gravity." For full information and all your questions answered, please visit www.darrenharris.info
