Structural Flow

WHAT IS STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION?

Structural Integration (SI) is a form of manual therapy and movement education that focuses on aligning and balancing the body’s structure in relation to gravity.

At its core, Structural Integration works with the fascia — the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs. When fascia becomes tight, stuck, or imbalanced (due to injury, stress, poor posture, or repetitive habits), it can pull the body out of alignment, leading to chronic pain, restricted movement, and postural dysfunction.

Anatomy Trains Structural Integration (ATSI) combines hands-on fascial manipulation with movement education, using the “Anatomy Trains” map — a detailed system of myofascial meridians (or lines of connective tissue) that run throughout the body, developed by Thomas (Tom) Myers, based on his pioneering work in fascial anatomy and movement.

I have leftover boxes of level 3 Surgical Masks from Covid restriction times.
Are there any non profit organisations or struggling individuals that could use these.

6 weeks ago I became qualified as a Functional Patterns Foundations Practitioner.
I have been enjoying employing these training techniques in my Structural Bodywork sessions to help clients achieve and keep a more balanced position.
Both the exercise and structural bodywork use Tom Myers Anatomy Train lines to help change and retrain posture patterns and movement to a more balance position for the individual.

We are back in the clinic Monday-Thursday 9am till 5pm.
Pop down to the light house after your appointment to see the beautiful whales breaching and swimming through lately. 🐳

Structural Flow is closed due to the need to be with family after illness. RIP Mum❤️🥰
Please leave a message if you would like to be contacted when we are back on deck.

This is obviously a static view of what the foot does in a modern athletic shoe compared to a natural shoe
We can only imagine how it functions when comparing one to the other
I’ll do some drawings to point out the big differences in my next post
I’m amazed... these pics would actually save me speaking and typing quite a lot 🤣
Natural footwear styles available .store or visit the store in the linktree in our bio. We also created a video called “footwear 101” available to watch on the Beam Tribe YouTube channel if you want more information about what to look for in shoes (also in the linktree).

There is a new addition to our clinic! Welcome our new AIR PURIFIER, at Structural Flow we know studies have shown that good air flow and quality is important during this time. I’ll be sticking to our tight health and safety protocols in order to keep up with the (to be released), public health orders and to keeping clients safe as possible.

Nothing like a pandemic to make us realise, how important appropriate touch is.
