Presentation: Biomechanics and Structural Integration: Natural Alignment as a Lens for Asymmetry and Integration

This 75-minute presentation delves into the role of biomechanics within Structural Integration, focusing on natural alignment as a framework for understanding and working with client asymmetries - both functional and dysfunctional. Explore how biomechanics can deepen your understanding of natural alignment within Ida Rolf’s original framework, showing how Liz Gaggini’s advancements illuminate the path for working with clients’ unique asymmetries. Attendees will learn practical methods for identifying and addressing postural fixations within the fascial matrix, bringing new tools to help clients find balanced, sustainable alignment. This talk is ideal for practitioners who want to integrate biomechanics into their Structural Integration practice for more adaptive, client-centered results.
