What is this I am hearing about
STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION??!
Intuitive Connective Tissue Bodywork is not massage, but is often administered on a massage table.
There is no oil used on the body as in most massage practices. Instead, there is direct skin-to-skin contact between the client and the practitioner.
Fingers, knuckles, or elbows are commonly used during these sessions. The strokes are very slow and focused. For instance, a long stroke along the spine might last for two to three minutes while a shorter stroke between the shoulder blades might last for a few seconds.
Each individual session lasts between one hour and one and a half hours. A complete series that covers the entire body is generally ten sessions.
NOTE: Many thanks to the organizations who are striving to increase awareness of massage therapy and the benefits of holistic treatments!
