Anatomy Trains Structural Integration in Winnipeg
Structural Integration is a whole-body approach that combines hands-on fascial work, movement and body awareness to explore how your body organizes itself in movement and gravity.
Rather than focusing only on the area where you feel tension or discomfort, Structural Integration looks at relationships throughout the body. Working with these relationships can support greater ease, balance and freedom of movement.
My approach is grounded in Anatomy Trains Structural Integration, a system developed by Thomas Myers that explores the interconnected nature of the body through the myofascial meridians.
What to Expect
Structural Integration sessions combine hands-on work with active client participation. You’ll be invited to move and notice how your body responds throughout the session.
We may explore simple movements, walking, breathing or different positions as we work. These changes in position and movement help us understand relationships throughout your body and give you an opportunity to experience new possibilities as they emerge.
The goal is not to hold yourself in a new posture, but to discover greater ease, adaptability and freedom in the way you move.
What to Wear
-
Loose fitting shorts, sports bra
-
No perfumes, creams, oils or lotions
Beginning Structural Integration
Beginning Structural Integration
For new clients, I recommend beginning with the first three Structural Integration sessions. Together, these sessions explore the front, back and sides of the body, creating a foundation for the work that follows.
After these first three sessions, we can decide together what makes the most sense for you. You may choose to continue through the complete Anatomy Trains 12-Series or take a more individualized approach based on your needs and goals.
The Anatomy Trains 12-Series
The 12-Series is a progressive approach to Structural Integration in which each session has a particular focus and builds on the sessions before it.
Over the course of the series, we work with different regions and relationships throughout the body, gradually bringing them together into a more integrated whole.
The series is not about creating an ideal posture. It is an opportunity to explore how your body can move and organize with greater ease, adaptability and resilience.
