Hi Zuma,
I'm so glad you brought that up... I know my posts tend to be quite clinically based, as certain others insist I keep the info/commments objective and "scietnific". I definitely don't mind you quoting me on this... guilty as charged .
One of the aspects of my work that drew me to it was its regard for the pychological and emotional being within us all. It differs in many ways from other therapies, but most importantly is that it not only has a strong scientific basis, but it also acknowleges the client as a human being(I don't use the word 'patient' because I feel it has a passive, subordinate and disempowering tone to it - 'one who waits' and is at the mercy of others to assist them. I believe self-empowerment is an important and vital component to treatment, healing and health overall.)
There is much more info on Structural Integration and this aspect to it on the websites of several of the schools, so I won't bog you all down with it here.
One of the reasons I advocate the work to people is due to this fact of addressing and interacting with the emotional and psychological aspects. I know that physical conditions such as scoliosis and kyphosis can have a significant impact on these aspects of ones life. Add a rigid brace to the picture and it only amplifies matters. So I thought that recommending the approach could be helpful to people in this regard at the same time they are dealing with the physical aspect. It is never to suggest that SI will work for everyone to the same degree. But it certainly offers something that physical therapy, chiropractics, pilates, etc. doesn't address, the emotional/psychological influences and factors.
I wish I could speak more freely in those regards, but certain folks here have a hard enough time letting me share objective comments alone. Hope you can see my point and position here.
Again, Thank you for putting those thoughts out here, I think it was an important reminder to us all.
Kind Regards,
structural
