FAQs

Do I have to do all 10 sessions?

You don’t have to do anything. I tell people that, after the first session, if they aren’t sure they want to continue, they should think it over before deciding to go further. After that point, there are stages in the process where it is not a good idea to stop or take a long break. If you feel the need to stop or take a rest during the process, it’s important to discuss it with your practitioner to find the best stopping point for you.

How close together should I schedule my appointments?

That depends on you and your circumstances. One-week intervals work well for most people, but not all. People who are under very heavy stress or weakened by illness or other factors may want to come in every two weeks or even less often. Some others like to come in twice a week and get it all done faster---a good way to experience the full power of the work. Ideally, you’ll want to come in often enough to keep from losing ground between sessions, but not so often that you’re overwhelmed. If you’re going too fast, you’ll start feeling as if the world is speeding past you and you can’t keep up with all that’s happening in your life.If your appointments are spaced out too far, you’re likely to start feeling antsy and anxious, as if you’re waiting for something to happen; you may also feel discomfort, especially in the area that’s due to be worked on in the next session. But even if you’re not going at the ideal pace for you, you’ll still benefit from the work.

Is Structural Integration covered by insurance?

Many insurance policies do cover SI. Some require a prescription or medical referral, others don’t. I don’t normally bill insurance, but when the client pays me at the end of each session I provide a receipt on a standard insurance claim form which can be used to file for reimbursement. For more information, talk to me and we can discuss what’s applicable in your case.


Does Structural Integration hurt?

No, SI itself doesn’t and shouldn’t hurt. However, every body has areas of holding and pain, and I often find them. I ask people to tem[me if they’re experiencing pain, because if you’re miserable, you can’t relax into the process, so we’re fighting each other---not an efficient way to achieve a common goal.
