Hello there,
I'm Lewis, a Remedial Massage Therapist and I specialise in Anatomy Trains Structural Integration. I help treat postural and movement patterns and restore overall body awareness and connection, this helps people feel and move at their best. Structural Integration (SI) is like Remedial Massage in that is is a form of bodywork but the treatment approach and techniques are very differen
t. SI treats posture, movement restrictions, chronic pain and general aches and pain with very specific soft-tissue techniques. Assessments focus on posture, gait (how you walk) and specific movements, this helps identify any areas that may be restricted, compressed or affecting your overall function. Sessions involve your participation, moving along with a technique, this can help move out of old movement patterns and into new ones! Clients often report lasting relief, feeling taller, lighter and more ease in their body after their session. I have been been practicing bodywork since 2018. I became a bodyworker after experiencing life-long relief from chronic lower back pain through SI. After my experience I knew that I wanted to specialise in SI so I could help people find relief, just as I did. I'm very passionate about helping people with chronic pain, old persistent injuries, everyday aches and pains, as well as pain post surgery (6 months or more). One of the problems I find with clients who have chronic pain is that they continually receive treatment on the area of pain again and again, this has merit, especially in the more acute phase of treatment but it's important to remember the body is a connected system. Sometimes the source of pain may actually be very far away from the site of pain. SI is great in these cases as it looks at the whole person. Surgery is another, often the body has to compensate while an area is recovering. For some, these compensations remain after they have recovered and they experience alternated movement, pain at the surgery site or far away from the site. SI is hugely beneficial for those post surgery (generally after 6 months) as it may help restore movement and posture or provide long-term relief. I believe that everyone should experience relief from pain, movement restrictions and poor postural patterns.
