Structural Energetic Therapy®

Structural Energetic Therapy®

Often referred to as SET, The foundation to this work is the integration of cranial/structural balance and soft tissue therapies. In plain speak this is a subtle unwinding of the spine as a result of releasing the soft tissue and fascia that surrounds everything. 

In this form of body work we perform gentle movements to the head followed by moving soft  tissue across the specific area of the body being addressed. The process is slow and intentional.  Most patients describe feeling like there is “more room in their bodies” when we are done. 

This form of therapeutic bodywork addresses acute and chronic pain, including migraines, lower back pain and much more. The basis is that we are each born with “core distortion”. Simply put, it is a twist in the spine we all have from birth that creates lack of weight bearing support for the spine. This in turn, creates weakness and imbalances throughout the whole body. SET is aimed at correcting the distortion and establishing alignment and strength in an integrated system

Soft tissue protocols- Basic undergarments

How should I prepare/recover?

Be sure to hydrate well the day prior, the day of, and the day after your session. 

We may ask you to defer extensive physical work-outs 24-48 hours after your session as your body needs time to rebalance. 

Feelings of relaxation and muscle soreness are common after your session. You may enjoy journal writing, listening to your favorite music or a warm shower or bath with epsom salt.   

We always recommend being a little gentle with yourself after an intense therapeutic sessions in word and deed.
