The 10-Series: A Journey into Alignment
The 10-series in Structural Integration is designed to do more than just relieve pain—it works to reorganize and realign your body, addressing the root causes of dysfunction. Unlike traditional massage, which typically provides temporary relief, Structural Integration offers long-term results by creating permanent changes in your body’s structure over the course of 10 sessions.
Chronic pain in areas like the neck or lower back often stems from multiple factors, such as poor posture from sitting at a desk or imbalanced foot mechanics. Dr. Ida Rolf developed the 10-series to address these systemic patterns that contribute to pain. Each session builds upon the last, working toward a fully integrated and aligned body that functions optimally in gravity.
The Ten Series
Surface Sessions (1-3): Laying the Foundation
Session 1
Freeing the Breath This session focuses on the ribs, shoulders, and abdomen, helping you breathe more fully. Many clients find this session eye-opening as they experience the freedom of a complete inhale, introducing the idea of using breath to release tension throughout the body.
Session 2
Rebuilding Support in the Legs The work in this session starts below the knee, restoring motion in the feet and balancing how the body rests on the ground. By addressing the lower legs and feet, the body begins to realign from the ground up, improving support and stability.
Session 3
The Lateral Line
This session focuses on the sides of the body, from the ankles to the armpits. It helps balance the front and back of the body and prepares the tissue for deeper work. Many clients report feeling taller and more aligned after this session.
Deep Sessions (4-7): Unraveling Deeper Patterns
Session 4
Inner Line of the Legs Here, the focus returns to the legs, targeting the inner line from the ankles to the pelvic floor. This session is particularly helpful for knee issues and establishes a solid foundation for weight transmission throughout the lower body.
Session 5
Lengthening the Front Body This session opens the front of the body from the hips to the chest, including deep work on the psoas, chest, and neck. It is a key session for those who slump at the shoulders or hips, helping them achieve better posture and alignment.
Session 6
The Back Body Covering the entire back from the heels to the neck, this session brings balance and ease to the spine and legs. It may be split into two sessions if deeper work is needed to address problem areas.
Session 7
Head, Neck, and Shoulders Known as the "putting on the head" session, this focuses on aligning the head, neck, and shoulders. It’s particularly beneficial for those with jaw, sinus, or nasal issues, and helps create better orientation and balance in the upper body.
Integration Sessions (8-10): Reintegration and Balance
Sessions 8 & 9: Final Adjustments
These two sessions divide the body into sections, often top and bottom, to perform any last major work. The goal is to integrate the different parts of the body, ensuring they work together as a cohesive system.
Session 10: Full-Body Integration
The final session is a lighter, full-body treatment that provides a sense of closure and balance. It helps the body continue to integrate the work done in previous sessions, allowing for ongoing improvements in structure and function even after the series is complete. The 10-series offers a comprehensive and individualized path toward better alignment, increased mobility, and lasting pain relief. Each session is tailored to your unique body and movement patterns, providing a custom approach to healing and integration.

"If you're looking for something beyond typical massage or physical therapy, structural integration is it. I had no idea how much my body was compensating for old injuries. Now, I feel stronger and more balanced than I have in years."

I had tried several other therapies for my neck and shoulder tension with limited success. Structural integration not only relieved the pain but also improved my posture and overall well-being. So grateful to have found this service!"
