Welcome to Postural Integration
Bringing mind & body into harmony
Just imagine laughing without a voice, grief without tears, nervous butterflies without a stomach... Right here, right now, we are alive in our bodies, experiencing the world in all its joys and pain. Yet sometimes our body can be a stranger to us, or maybe an opponent that we fight against. We may be baffled by its needs or the things it does. It can often seem that our bodies have a mind of their own.
Embodied emotions
The principle underlying somatic (body) therapy is that all life experiences are
embodied. The body holds our emotional history just as much as the mind does. The stresses of life can get locked deep into our muscles as chronic tension carrying an emotional charge, influencing not only how we walk, talk, move and breathe, but also how we think and feel. These embodied patterns (known as body armour) can 'programme' the body to respond in certain ways, affecting our whole character and outlook on life.
Body armour may be sending out signals that lead other people to treat us in ways that are not consistent with who we are or what we think we are communicating. It can cause a rift between what we believe and how we actually feel and act. And our inner struggles to resolve conflicting tensions may result in persistent poor health or 'dis-ease.'
How can Postural Integration help?
Postural Integration is a powerful tool for unlocking body armour. Structured around a series of 10 systematic steps, it combines deep tissue manipulation with
breathwork, movement and reflective body focusing. Postural Integration allows fresh energies to emerge, improving your sense of well-being and your capacity to feel and
express. It brings your mind and body increasingly into harmony and helps you discover a new way of being at one with yourself. It is a truly holistic therapy.
