Serving Tucson and the Greater Phoenix area.
Integral Bodywork® can be extremely beneficial for: spinal conditions: scoliosis, lordosis, kyphosis, pain issues, depression, fibromyalgia, trauma and abuse issues, life transitions, bodymind disciplines (yoga, martial arts, meditation, dance, etcetera), and creative endeavors (music, voice, fine arts).
The basic, foundational, meat-and-potatoes format of Integral Bodywork® is a series of 10 Sessions which follows a very specific sequence or protocol for working the connective tissue based on a recipe developed by Ida P. Rolf. The Series is an organic progression. Once Session 1 is completed, a flow of change throughout every square inch of tissue in your body is set in motion. For the rest of the 9 sessions the work follows this unfolding or unwrapping of the entire body from the very tip of your toes to the top of your head and every place in between.
The 10 Sessions can have an enormously positive impact on a person at many levels - physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual. The effect is pervasive and far-reaching. Deep release in the core of the abdomen and pelvis is the signature feature of our series because experience has proven time and again that these areas form the foundation of the body's structure. They also provide reliable access to the fundamental issues affecting a person's structure and overall condition.
