What Is Hellerwork?
Hellerwork
Structural Integration is an integrative system of bodywork that
is based on the teachings of Dr.
Ida Rolf and the Rolfing method of Structural Integration. This work combines structural manipulation, movement
education and dialogue. It helps you make the connection between body
alignment, tension patterns, movement and personal wellbeing. By
bringing greater balance and alignment to your structure Hellerwork
allows you to become free of limiting physical and emotional patterns.
Bodywork
Hellerwork is a whole body approach to healing that seeks to restore
the ideal structural balance of your body. Long, deep stretching strokes
are used to release tension in your muscles and fascia. This deep
tissue bodywork is not like ordinary massage. It is sometimes called
myofascial release and it helps to restore your body's optimal balance,
alignment and flexibility. It can melt and transform old, hardened
patterns in your tissue bringing tremendous relief to those who live
with densely rigidified muscles.
Movement Awareness
Movement awareness helps you to become more in tune with your body
habits and movement patterns. By making subtle changes to these patterns
you can eliminate discomfort, enhance your sense of well being and
prevent the return of tension to your body.
Dialogue
Dialogue is used to help you gain insights into how your attitudes
and beliefs influence your body and well being. I share my observations
about how your unique bodily movements and patterns may limit you emotionally. I then make suggestions to help you begin to unhinge these unhealthy patterns.
The Hellerwork Series
The optimal benefits of Hellerwork are attained through completing a series of sessions. The standard series is comprised of 11 sessions, though we can customize the series to meet your specific needs.
