What is Structural Integration?

A holistic, therapeutic process of structural bodywork, movement and body awareness education.

  • Bodywork – a “hands on” process where Karen works to release tension and rigidity in your body to return you to a more balanced posture.
  • Movement Education – helps you become aware of your habitual movement patterns and assists you in bringing balance and alignment to your body, preventing the return of tension.
  • Body Awareness Education – allows you to recognize attitudinal patterns that may contribute to tension in your body and helps you to discover new ways of dealing with stressful situations in life.
