Chronic pain can be experienced in various places in the body including the head, feet, lower back, and in the neck and shoulders. Structural Integration is often a solution to relief from chronic pain. Its approach to alleviating chronic pain is not with a fix-it type manipulation or symptomatic spot work, but with a careful understanding of the body and its presenting physical imbalances.
Through a 10-session series of working slowly and thoroughly through fascial layers (a sensitive connective tissue sheath around muscles), Structural Integration restores fluidity to the body, calms the nervous system, and rebalances parts of the body that are under strain or excessive tension. It also relieves the body of compensatory patterns from old injuries and historic trauma.
By balancing structure and creating relationships in the body that are harmonious, the body feels lighter, less compressed and more spacious. Part of the Structural Integration process also includes learning how to move in a body that feels “like oneself, only better”.

Testimonial
“Every time I have had a session with Jessica Silver I felt like new person, taller, stronger, younger by 20 years…like a snake coming out from old skin! As a Cirque du Soleil performer with a lot physical demands on my body, Rolfing gives me huge benefits! I strongly recommend anyone to have it..”
Jessica has skilled hands and a keen eye. She works deeply and effectively bringing new life to the tissues of the body.

Her warm manner and knowing hands helped unlock years of stress and I credit her work for helping me be freer and easier in my body.
For years I had chronic back pain that I thought was a result of working at a computer. After the 10 series with Jessica, I learned that pain is not something I have to live with. Her work not only resolved my back pain but lengthened my toes, helping me to feel more comfortable walking and moving in general.
I have tried many types of body work (physio, massage, shiatsu, chiropractic), and I have found Structural Integration to be the most effective. After 10 sessions, the effect had such a profound impact that after four years, I continue to come once a month, every month, as part of my commitment to maintaining the health of my spine. I find Jessica to be deeply committed to her work. The way she works reveals an immense care and concern that has made it easy to develop complete trust and to let g… Read more
