Introduction to Structural Integration

This 12 hour class is designed to give students an introduction to the principles of Structural Integration through theory, touch and demonstration.

We shall explore human structure, the fascial web and what we mean by an integrated body. We shall consider the history and teachings of Dr. Rolf that developed into her legacy known as the 10-session series.

Students will see a demonstration of 1 st hour work, learn about body readings and movement analysis; perform and receive fascial manipulation.

 

Overview

We shall

• Explore the nature of the fascial web and its involvement in pain and restriction

• Learn how the integrity of the fascia is intrinsic to the health of the human structure

• Study compensation patterns “held” in the body's fascia through “reading” the body

• Perform hands-on techniques to release myofascial restrictions

• Learn how the body's balance can be restored in ten structural integration sessions

Day 1

We shall explore:

•  Fascial anatomy

What it is

Histological constitution

Anatomical location

Properties & functions

•  Fascial palpation: superficial to deep in touch; moving tissue: skin & deep fascia.

Tutor manipulations and demonstrations

The effect of working fascia through utilising simple tools

The History of Dr.Rolf, her research & how she developed SI / Rolfing. 

Day 2:

•  Investigate Dr. Rolf's model: 10 sessions, each one with a different goal.

•  Discuss the Line & the centre of gravity

•  Tutor demonstration of a first hour session

•  Student exchange of palpation techniques used in Structural Integration

•  Questions and answer session on Structural Integration and training in the UK .

She spent thirteen years working within sciences as a developmental biology researcher, Study Director of pre-clinical toxicology and in quality assurance. Jill was introduced to Structural Integration in 1998 when she badly sprained her ankle; she was so impressed by the efficacy of the work that she put her experience into training as a Structural Integration Practitioner.

 

Jill graduated in May 2000 from the Guild for Structural Integration in Boulder, Colorado and maintained successful practices in Ireland and Scotland until 2003; since then Jill has been based in Scotland full time. Jill completed her Advanced Training in May 2005.

 

In 2007 Jill became a founding member of the International School of Structural Integration and she is the European Director of the school. Jill is a regular attendee of workshops and symposia; she is the advocate for regulation of Structural Integration within the UK , a Registered Member of the Association of Natural Medicine (RMANM) and a Professional Member of the International Association of Structural Integrators (IASI).
