The Boston Posture Center focuses on resolving chronic, long term pain and postural dysfunctions. Our bodies grow a strong, leathery tissue called Fascia that keeps every cell, organ, and muscle in place and supports us in everything we do. Over time, the Fascial web can grow into chronic imbalance, limiting our movement and leading to injury and chronic pain. Structural Integration is a powerful series of bodywork sessions designed to address these imbalances and return our body to ease, comfort, and freedom. Each session begins with a brief checkin and evaluation of the clients' changing posture and movement patterns. Then, using deep, slow fascial manipulations, the therapist works to reorganize the clients' fascial web, altering the way they naturally organize. Clients often report feeling lighter, taller, and more comfortable while also noticing changes in their posture. Each session builds on the last, accumulating structural change, awareness, and understanding to the point of learning a new way of living in their own bodies. A new way that guides the body to grow a new chronic pattern that helps manage your activities and takes the pain out of living. While never painful, the work is profound and the results are transformative. To read "Taking the Pain Out of Chronic Pain" and Eli's other published work visit EliThompson.com.
