Resource Structural Integration

Good morning Bend, Oregon! I have a pretty great deal I’ll be posting about this weekend. Stay tuned!

I comPLETEY understand needing to wait to schedule if schedules change and things pop up in your life.

I also feel it’s imperative to schedule time to take care of yourself.

I often suggest to clients to find a day and time that works for them and book out their 10-series before the time slot that fits best for them get taken.

I have a handful of days and times that won’t be available again until next January!

And if you need to cancel any of your booked out sessions ahead of time because something comes up…it’s ok. I can use those times for INTRO sessions for new clients.

Life moves fast! Book your time with me so you can slow down and fine tune.

I promise it will be worth it 🤗

Hi…my name is Kristie and I’m developing a bunion on my right foot.

Here’s what I’m doing to manage it:

✅Leg press at the gym 5/6 days a week. IT’S NOT ABOUT THE WEIGHT…it’s about how I’m resourcing to make the effort to …it’s about what is “helping” that doesn’t need to (my shoulder and rib cage twisting plus an over exertion from TFL) AND its about using the appropriate areas/arches/muscles to follow through with movement. It’s about repatterning my gait cycle.

IT’S WORKING.

✅I’M ROLLING MY FEET OUT. Every day. RAD is my go to. Have to keep arches functioning to get from lateral to transverse to medial and big toe push off.

✅TOE SPREADERS. I’m working on remembering to wear them everyday. I have a lot of empathy for my clients. I get it- it’s tough to remember sometimes to do the little things that will be helpful in the long run…but it’s worth it.

✅And lastly: I’M PRESENT WITH MY MOVEMENT. I want to feel my foot move functionally through all the arches. I want to feel knee extension and hip opening.

This work of Structural Integration is about agency. It’s about taking your power back. Showing UP and tuning IN. It’s about pace and presence.

I’M TAKING MY OWN ADVICE AND DOING MY HOMEWORK

Every morning I go to the gym and stick one leg on the leg press and manage how I hold it…when I feel a successful subtle shift it is then, from there that I begin to press a low amount of weight.

Repatterning:
Slow and consistent repetition.

Why did this happen?
I have many suspicions.
I’ll save them for another post.

I often find ways to express that I’m human too. Life happens, we check in and make adjustments as we go. We reflect on what’s working and what is not…when we can, when appropriate.

I NEVER thought this we be a thing I would have to manage. But I’m hell bent on figuring it out. And I’m here to hold space for the things you’re managing as well.

If you’re seeking Structural Integration (some call it Rolfing) in Bend, OR and you’re ready to take action for the health of your function, structure, and balance…please reach out.

I’m back from 3 weeks vacation filled with rest, celebration, and time with some of my favorite people and my favorite band. Easing into my first week back at the office is a piece of cake, a slice of joy, and a warm heart. I love this work and adore each and every person who feels both comfort and transformation-as one client put it today-on my magical table. Many profound things have occurred this week and I’m grateful and pleased.

One thing to note about this review…they haven’t had back pain since their series…which was over a year ago

This work works

Soon I’ll be dancing to Phish at Sphere and soon enough I’ll be in Mexico with my closest friends from high school. Celebrations ahead!
Happy day 😌🙏🎉🤗

Structural Integration is a clothing on, movement oriented embodiment journey. We work with muscle tissue, fascia, and neuromuscular pathways to create the freedom of movement necessary to balance the body. Clients report feeling more strength, stamina, and mobility while longtime injuries and patterns resolve and functional movement is created. It’s the work that works. Text today to schedule your introductory session!

Weiler is 14 today!! 11 years ago I adopted him as an approximately 3 year old rescue bub 🤗🐾🩷 Many of you have heard how serendipitously we were brought together. It was meant to be! Bubz is doing great, really great! We have a few smellathons a day, he’s still very agile, and he can even jump up on the couch still! He gets a breakfast treat every day and a pup cup with hidden treats every night. He’s a happy old man pookie. And he’s the perfect office bub, a total professional!! And has only farted in the office twice in the 11 months I’ve been in Bend 😆🤗😆 Happy adoptaversary + birthday to Bubs 💞🐾

✨🌀In the flow 🌀✨

It’s rare I have a cancellation but tis the season for illnesses to be making their rounds. Take care of yourselves and if you prefer I wear a mask while working (or if you need one) I have them in the office

I’ve found that the rare times I have space in my schedule it feels like universe simply insists I have a moment of space. And so…I’m getting in my steps, Weiler will get some extra smells along the river path, and I’ll take advantage of the rollers I have in my office that I recommend to all my clients 😇

Grateful for a high- five worthy session this morning, even Weiler got one! And always truly appreciate the moments of realization upon the faces of my clients when they realize…the work works.

For anyone who has been curious about this work for a while - now is the time to reach out

I have an opening on:
2/11
2/12
2/17

Next openings after then are last week of March and last week of April.

It’s never too late to begin your 10-series journey- the work that brings lasting change by helping you discover a felt sense of function 🤗

✨✨🌞✨✨

This work is not fix it work
Is is an interoceptive approach to self
An observation
It’s window into the self, holding many moods and sensations…it’s a sunny day, a cloudy day, it’s a sunrise and a sunset. It all the weathers we might experience.
It’s an exteroceptive practice, it’s navigating our adaptability to what life brings us.

It’s personal work.
It’s physical work.
It’s introspective.
It’s curious.
It’s a state of mind.
Its playfulness.
It’s biomechanics, it’s neurobiology, it’s presence, and intention.

It’s life. It’s life changing.

It’s a healthy challenge and a beautiful journey, especially to witness those who bravely embark upon it 😌🙏
