Structural Integration of Chelsea

THE BASIC TEN SERIES

The basic ten series consists of ten sessions, each one building on the previous. There is flexibility in scheduling the sessions and one can do once a week or once a month and anything in between.

At the time of the first session, the client completes a health questionnaire. After discussing the questionnaire, the client undresses down to underwear, bathing suit or gym shorts and a structural assessment is completed.

While the client lies on the table, the Practitioner begins the fascial work. Applying pressure to the myofascial tissue, the Practitioner will use hands, arms, and sometimes elbows to carefully move the tissue.

The relationship between the tissue, the rhythms of respiration, nervous system responses and organization in gravity is all part of the Practitioner’s work. The client is a participant, often being asked to breathe into the area being worked on, to make small movements through the joint, and to discuss patterns of movement and the use of gravity through that movement.
