Welcome

Gravity Therapy uses the art of structural integration to alleviate pain and injury associated with improper alignment of the body to ultimately help individuals achieve their full physical and emotional potential.

What is structural integration?

Structural Integration (SI) nicknamed "Rolfing" is a system of deep tissue work. The primary goal of SI is to align the body so it can work in harmony with gravity rather than against it. Over time, the body adapts to injuries caused by physical or emotional stressors by distributing these injuries throughout the body. This can cause negative habits to develop. For example, individuals with lower back pain may slouch while working at the computer, causing additional pain in the shoulders and upper back. Structural integration works to break down negative patterns by addressing the injuries at their root. By targeting and releasing the fascia, which is the system of connective tissue, structural integration can reverse injuries and restore proper physical functioning.

Who can benefit?

Structural integration can benefit individuals with any of the following:

• Chronic pain
• Overuse injuries
• Acute injuries
• Old injuries, and/or
• A desire to improve physical performance

To receive the full benefits that structural integration can provide, a series of ten sessions is required, referred to as the Ten Series.

"It is gravity that is the tool, it is gravity that is the therapist. All that we are doing is directing the flow of gravity by virtue of organizing the body as though it were an electric wire so that gravity can flow through it." Dr. Ida P. Rolf
