What to expect at your first visit.
General Information for Structural Integration Clients
Please arrive 5 minutes before your appointment to be sure there will be someone available to open the door for you.
Your massage therapist will meet you in the waiting area and take you into the therapy room.
There you and the therapist will go over the paperwork and ask questions if needed. Please know you can ask questions at any time. You and the therapist will discuss what areas need to be worked on and sensitive areas consent will be completed.
Your therapist will then leave the room to wash hands and give you an opportunity to change and get on the table.
You can undress to your comfort level but skin on skin contact is best.
For Structural Integration you will be in your "viewing clothes" and can still have a sheet to cover up if you want.
Your therapist will knock and ask if you are ready for them to enter. Please respond audibly, or we will wait till we hear from you.
If you do not feel comfortable with what we are doing please let us know. We want to make your experience as comfortable and stress free as possible.
The saying "No pain no gain" does not apply to Structural Integration and there is no need to work so deep that it is painful at any time during a visit. If you like deeper pressure, please let us know and we will do so in a safe way. We are trained and well versed in how much pressure we need to apply to get a positive outcome for you.
We are looking forward to meeting you and making your visit a good experience, therefore we ask that you communicate with us, so we can serve you best.
Specifics for Structural Integration Clients
Please note that the first appointment will be 60 minutes - the first few minutes we will be talking about why you are seeing us today.
Please be advised that you will be required to undergo 10 treatment sessions for the best results.
You can book once a week for ten weeks or up to once a month for ten months or anything in between, it is important to stay within these parameters to ensure an optimal outcome.
Each session has a specific protocol and takes about an hour, so please be on time for your appointment. We are not able to reduce the treatment time.
What to wear
Wearing the same "viewing clothes" at each session is preferred.
You will be up and down off the table and moving around during the sessions so make sure your clothes are comfortable and supportive where needed.
Before and after photos will be an option. If photos are taken you will stand in front of a postural grid in your "viewing clothes".
Seeing your own changes will be very motivating and uplifting.
We will start with taking the Before pictures
(if wanted) then do Session 1 where we start with a functionality and awareness assessment. Then we will take After pictures at the end of session 1, 5 and 10. After each session we will review your changes and go over the homework for the session. The homework is to re-pattern the nervous system and lengthen and move the body in a structured way.
