Therapies: Structural Alignment |
Structural Alignment is a deep muscle re-patterning treatment developed at the D'Adamo Institute and available exclusively at the center.
THE BASIS OF STRUCTURAL ALIGNMENT
The forty-five minute treatment involves each of the following steps:
 |
You are carefully assessed visually by the doctor to determine if there is any postural difficulties that may be contributing to your structural disturbance. |
| |
Working from your feet upwards, the doctor will carefully compare individual muscles and muscle groups from one side of the body with that of the other side. |
| |
Those muscles which are too developed, causing excessive constriction of that muscle group, are marked for break-down. Those muscles weakened or insufficiently developed are marked to be built-up. |
| |
Breaking down and building up muscle involves careful, yet forceful traction and pressure being applied. |
| |
A great deal of attention is also given to the cranial bones and the vertebrae of the neck and most importantly, to bring the body in balance with gravity. |
Very often when a person receives Structural Alignment, deep long held emotional and mental problems surface and come to light. This is due to our tendencies to hold negative emotions and painful thoughts within our body. Once these obstacles surface and are removed, both physical and emotional improvement occurs.
Additionally, with proper posture and correct structural balance, circulation is enhanced, the function of all the internal organs is improved, changing respiration and lymphatic drainage.
