Create Resilience

Structural Integration helps your body to stay resilient. What exactly does that mean?

We are at a time in our lives where as humans we have never sat as much as we do now. We have to be reminded by a watch to tell us to get up and move. In the long run this might actually change how we evolve our structure/ posture as a species. I’ve worked in athletics since 2007 and I can say that I have seen more injuries to young bodies that are typically seen in an older populations (such as lumbar disc herniations, and hip labral tears) now more than ever. Our fascial system takes “shape” from our habits, growth and development as well as injury compensation. If we are training our body to sit for long periods of time in front of television and screens we become less resilient. We grow into a pattern of flexion and limit the elastic ability of the fascia.

Structural Integration helps to reorganize our fascial tissue. Creating improved proprioceptive qualities, glide amongst the tissues, and bring the body back to its natural center. This creates better awareness, improved ability to heal quicker from injury, and allows for the other body systems to work better together creating better homeostasis.

To define resilient is: To withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions. Join the Resilient Movement and help your body withstand this crazy thing we call life.

Move Well,

Steph
