Structural integration, pioneered by Ida Rolf, represents a fascinating approach to bodywork that views the human form through the lens of fascia and gravitational alignment. What strikes me about this modality is its holistic philosophy - the idea that the body exists as an integrated whole rather than a collection of separate systems, and that lasting change comes from working with the connective tissue matrix that organizes our entire structure.

The ten-series protocol is particularly elegant in its systematic approach, working from superficial to deep layers and addressing the body's relationship to gravity in a methodical way. There's something profound about the core premise that our bodies can reorganize themselves toward greater efficiency and ease when the fascial restrictions are addressed thoughtfully.

From a practitioner's perspective, I imagine the work requires a deep understanding of both anatomy and the subtle qualities of tissue - knowing how to read the body's patterns and respond with appropriate pressure and direction. The integration aspect seems crucial too - it's not just about releasing restrictions but helping the whole system find a new, more balanced organization.

What draws me to structural integration conceptually is how it bridges the mechanical and the experiential. Clients often report not just physical changes but shifts in how they feel in their bodies, their posture, even their emotional relationship to themselves. There's something compelling about a therapy that recognizes the inseparable connection between structure and experience.

Facia is the connective tissue that I as a practitioner of Structural Integration am interested in working with. That’s what I can get my hands on to make profound changes in the body.

„(…) przyjmowanie przez nas postawy pionowej rozwija się dzięki naszej percepcji pola energetycznego, siły grawitacyjnej Ziemi. (…)

Ludzie zawsze rozwijali się w polu grawitacyjnym Ziemi i nadal w nim żyją. Musimy pogodzić się istnieniem tego pola energii. Grawitacja wygrywa z nami za każdym razem w takim stopniu, w jakim nie godzimy się na nią i błędnie z nią walczymy.

Energia tego pola może wzmacniać lub osłabiać energię człowieka. Nie da się przemieścić w przestrzeni pola energetycznego Ziemi, ale można zmienić pole energetyczne tej osoby.

Być może zbyt daleko idące jest zastanawianie się, czy jednym z głównych źródeł ludzkiej agresji i ukrytego strachu może być ciągły brak poczucia bezpieczeństwa, który ludzie nieświadomie odczuwają w odniesieniu do ich środowiska grawitacyjnego, w jakim żyją?

Jak podkreślił to Leboyer, [Frédérick Leboyer był francuskim położnikiem i pisarzem 1918-2017] fizyczny i emocjonalny wpływ grawitacji odczuwalny jest w chwili narodzin, i z pewnością ma nadal miejsce podczas pierwszych prób stania i stawiania pierwszych kroków.”
