Structural Integration is a mixture of therapies.
-Cold Level Laser Therapy

What is structural integration?

Structural Integration (SI) is a process-based approach to somatic education, typically involving manual therapy, that explores the possibility of change in how you use and experience your body. Through education, awareness, and therapeutic touch, you can release painful, stressful patterns of tension. Effortful habits are replaced with feelings of comfort, ease of movement and posture, and a sense of whole-body coherence.
SI systematically addresses your body as a whole, usually over a series of sessions. Skillful touch brings relief from pain and discomfort, and awareness of how you’re holding and using your body.

What are the benefits of structural integration?

Physical injuries, trauma, and the stresses of daily life require us to adapt how we move and hold ourselves upright. These adaptive patterns can become deeply ingrained—even long after they’ve fulfilled their protective and adaptive functions—to the point that basic movements like sitting, breathing, and walking are more effortful than necessary. Such prolonged effort can contribute toward feelings of stiffness, pain, fatigue, and lack of vitality.
Structural Integration can help us learn to “let go” of chronic stress and tension, to stop fighting gravity and allow it to support us instead. Movement becomes a pleasure, breath comes easier, and “good posture” becomes effortless. We experience a sense of ease, efficiency, and grace. Many SI clients come to find relief from pain and discomfort along the way!!

Who Benefits from SI?

All types of people benefit from Structural Integration. Some come to ease chronic pain and stress; others are hoping to improve their athletic performance; still, others are simply interested in exploring their potential for awareness and vitality. Children and older people alike can benefit from SI.

Melissa was born and raised in Grande Prairie, and now raising her children in the area.

Melissa graduated as an RMT in 2004, after which she bought a clinic downtown GP and continued expanding her knowledge in a variety of modalities in the alternative medicine industry.

While taking a step back to raise her children, Melissa taught massage therapy at a local school for a few years. Being an athlete and coach for the majority of her life, it was a natural progression to get certified in Nutrition, specifically women’s health and sports nutrition.

Melissa has been studying German New Medicine for the past two year.

German New Medicine (GNM) is the study of how unexpected emotional distressing events (both big and small) cause physical adaptations in the body, which you feel as symptoms. Underlying stressful traumatic events could be the reason why you will only get temporary relief from some treatments or perhaps why you’re stuck in a pain cycle. GNM understands and looks for how to identify the root cause of your symptoms. It goes down a layer deeper to what is truly causing the symptoms and helps you to process through the traumatic event. This enables your body to finish the healing process and go back to normal stronger/more equipped to handle a similar stressful event.

Through discussion, Melissa will help you to understand and release the emotional stress responsible for the onset of your symptoms (pain). This method can help guide you more effectively through the healing process of releasing unconscious emotional baggage, resulting in your body healing from the inside out, and leaving your mind at ease. You can live pain free!

Most recently, Melissa has certified as a RAPID-NFR practitioner.

Melissa Rogan is currently offering RAPID- NFR treatment, GNM sessions for pain symptoms and Nutrition Coaching,
