Structural Medicine is an advanced form of bodywork that uses myofascial release, postural analysis, and movement re-education to restore proper alignment and function to a client’s body, relieving injuries, chronic pain, and movement dysfunctions. It bridges mainstream medicine’s well-established and proven evaluation tools (strength, range-of-motion, posture) with the latest scientific developme
nts in alternative treatment therapies (manual therapy, myofascial release, movement and neuromuscular re-education, energetics, and dialogue). It uses a customized evaluation process called Myofascial length testing (MFLT) which provides a baseline of a person’s physical restrictions and allows the practitioner to monitor client progress and modify the treatment program to enhance improvements. This extensive evaluation of postural alignment addresses the balance in myofascial tone, length, and strength. Through myofascial reorganization, Structural Medicine sessions move the body closer to a more efficient organization and improved function in gravity. It uses an integrative process to develop a new sense of awareness which is used to re-shape posture, movement patterns, and a person’s sense of self which often results in a reduction in pain and improved function.
