Have you had a few massages? Are they losing their luster? Do you want to take your massages to the next level? Are you open minded and not afraid to get “Out There?’ Then postural integration therapy is for you. Your next question is likely, how does postural integration therapy work?
Postural integration is based on the idea of body armor. We all develop “body armor” to deal with everyday stress. This body armor stores up as tense muscles, and to release the muscles, we must deal with the underlying cause of the body armor issue. This is as much psychological therapy and body awareness as it is a massage.
How Does Postural Integration Therapy Work?
Body armor is difficult to get rid of. Postural integration therapy brings you through a series of steps. Each step is designed for you to become aware of a different part of your body. Not only do you become aware of that part of your body, but you learn what is making that part of your body tense – what makes it body armor. You release the tension that you have stored in your mind to release the muscle’s tension. This process helps you improve your daily posture and relieve the tension in your muscles.
You don’t just go through these 10 steps one at a time. You must graduate through the steps with your therapist. So, you have to return to the postural integration therapy office until you pass through the step; until you release that particular body armor.
