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.

When I first came to Kira for Structural Integration, I was in constant, excruciating sciatica pain—24 hours a day. It was so intense, I found myself punching my leg just to try to relieve it. With my demanding schedule at sea and limited time between jobs, I needed fast, effective relief.
Kira guided me through the 10-Series at an accelerated pace, often seeing me two to three times a week. I followed all of her instructions to support my body through the unwinding process. We completed up to Session 8 before I had to return to work, and by then, I was already experiencing long stretches without pain. I felt hopeful for the first time in a long time.
Kira explained that the work would continue to integrate even after we paused sessions—and she was absolutely right. Just a few weeks later, I was completely pain-free. I felt like my body had turned back the clock 25 years, allowing me to work 17-hour shifts on the yacht as Head Chef with energy and ease.
I can't wait to get back on land, finish my 10-Series, and dive into some post-10 work to take the transformation even deeper. Working with Kira has truly been life-changing.
Not only is Kira a master of her craft but her energetic awareness and true caring adds a spark of magic to each session.

My experience with Kira Miller for Structural Integration was nothing short of transformational. I did a ten series with her and from the very first session, her deep knowledge of the body and her intuitive approach made me feel both safe and supported. Each session built upon the last, and I began to notice lasting improvements, not just in my posture and mobility, but in how I carried myself emotionally and energetically.
Kira’s work is powerful, and deeply therapeutic. She doesn’t just treat symptoms, she gets to the root of imbalance and helps guide the body back into alignment with clarity and care.
If you’re looking for real, lasting change, ,physically, mentally, and even spiritually, I can’t recommend her enough. This work is a game-changer, and Kira is a true master of her craft.
She also offers post sessions with her that I will be doing to focus on some of my specific needs.

I am beyond grateful I got a 10 series with Kira. Not only has my posture and energy improved, my back pain I have lived with for 10 years is no longer a daily issue. She helped me recognize postural patterns I shift in my daily life and as I work. I am a hairstylist, and have had 2 abdominal surgeries (inguinal hernia repairs) in my lifetime. I am a relatively active women in her 30’s and went in so many directions trying to heal this back pain. Turns out I needed help unwinding my fascia through the work Kira does. The surgeries were likely the biggest reason for my pain and the way my fascia patterns changed in the healing process of that. For anyone who has had issues since having abdominal surgery, Kira knows her stuff! Regardless I would recommend anyone who wants to improve their alignment and feeling of freedom in their body. I always felt safe and like she was deeply listening to my body. She really cares and is a calming kind presence. Thank you Kira for changing my life for the better!!!

Kira is a master of her craft. She's an incredibly knowledgeable person and really loves what she does. She has brought me a level of understanding of my body that no other body worker has been able to do before. Some nagging pains that have been there for years are gone and Kira has giving me tools to live a much more comfortable life. My sleep has improved as well as my motivation to be active again! I'm looking forward to working with her for some post-10-series work!

Kira is an absolute master of her craft. After signing up for her ten series, the outcome has been a nothing short of a dream come true. I was suffering from very arrogating lower back pain and not sleeping well as a result. There was several days I could barely get outta bed. I even tried muscle relaxers here and there but they never solved the issue. Her magic has cured me 100% both physically and mentally. My posture improved and my feet don’t bug me after a long day at work. I swear her adjustments may have even made me a bit taller :) The icing on the cake was she would come to me and work around my busy schedule. Knowing what I do now, I wish I had met Kira long long ago. I highly recommend you to try it out. You’ll be more than happy you did.

I can't recommend Kira enough. My experience with Structural Integration has been transformative, especially when it comes to my posture, which had been a source of frustration for years. I used to be slumped over and would put all my weight on one leg and rely on a wide stance, but now I'm standing tall and straight with my feet aligned beneath me. My shoulders, once uneven, are now much more balanced. I used to constantly crack my neck due to extreme tightness, but now I rarely do it. The changes in my posture have been incredible.

Kira's work is amazing! She uses a combination of technique and intuition to align the body so it works the way its supposed to! I completed the 10-series with her just before leaving on a trip to ancient Mayan sites of the Yucatan. Hiking and climbing with ease made all the difference in the quality of my trip. Great energy! Thank you Kira!

I didn't have any major injuries or complaints when I started the 10 series with you I just wanted it for overall well-being and I noticed slight shifts during the 10 series and I know we kind of rushed the last three sessions because I had snowboarding vacations coming up and I wanted to finish my time series before I left town
I had a few Big Falls during those trips my first big fall I kept waiting for the pain to come. Expecting to maybe stay off the slopes for a day or soak in the hot tub out of need and not just relaxation and the pain never came and that's the moment I was sold on this work so I called you for some post 10 work and here we are.
