Reflecting has been a part of my professional life as long as I can remember. From right back to my nursing days, reflecting has been a part of learning, clinical practice and professional growth.

Sometimes life throws some situations together which encourages reflecting on, and shapes the direction you are taking. Life is doing that for me right now; turning 60 later this year, 35+ years in healthcare, the last 5 as a Structural Integration Practitioner, and finally having to pack up home and clinic to move to a new location.

This post is the result of reflecting on all this, and shows the direction my clinical practice is taking. Based on more current fascia research, postgraduate studies and courses, the lovely clients that seek me out, and a genuine interest in wanting to help others to feel their best.

What a great and inspiring weekend we had! The pelvic diaphragm, treating pelvic pain and dysfunction through a global lens with Julie Hammond has been amazing. I am looking forward to getting stuck into the accompanying book 🧡

Under the skin lies fascia, a complex network of connective tissue that encases and links every muscle, joint, organ, and nerve.

Modern fascia research supports what Dr. Ida Rolf observed decades ago: fascia isn’t inert. It helps transmit force, support posture, and influence movement and balance.

Rolfing® practitioners use gentle, precise manipulation to help free fascial restrictions and restore the body’s flow.

Better fascia = better balance, function, and ease in gravity.

Last week I had another great course with the Barral Institute New Zealand. Often I spend some time reflecting on the newly learned skills and approach, and on how this fits into Structural Integration.

These courses add another layer of depth to these sessions, it gives me more tools to assess and evaluate. It helps me to understand and bring into my sessions the relationships between the different systems, musculoskeletal, visceral and nervous systems. All contributing to achieving better outcomes for my clients.

There are many reasons for people to come for Structural Integration sessions. Some come to seek relief from persistent pain, or to be able to move more freely and fluidly. Others are looking to understand themselves and the way they are compensating and responding to previous injuries or trauma.

What is your reason? Would you like to find out more?
