Resolve Your Pain. Dissolve Poor Posture. Evolve Your body
MKSI delivers long-lasting health and greater well-being by restoring postural balance and functional ease by aligning you with gravity. Structural Integration is a hands-on bodywork that manipulates and reorganizes the soft-tissue matrix enveloping the entire body called fascia and it is this tissue that gives us the shape and support of our bodies. It wraps around every organ, muscle, bone, nerve and blood vessel so therefore by re-balancing and lengthening this fascia, resulting in endless benefits.
By aligning you with gravity, these forces are not compressing and working against you, but gravity is harmoniously aligned with you so you do not experience chronic pain, tension, and rigidity. Live a life full of ease, grace, and balance as a completely functional, adaptable, and balanced whole.

Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Over 2 years. My private practice established in April of 2009.
What is your primary product or service?
Individualized and intimate one-on-one hands-on sessions and utmost warmth, care, and empathy
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I have a background in clinical psychology and I was well on my way to becoming a physical therapist but I emphatically agree and practice holistic mind/body balance, health, and well-being.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Structural Integration provides an alternative to health care in Western culture and every practitioner treats his/her clients with personalized sessions with your optimal health in mind. We empower you with the necessary tools and skill set to take accountability for your health and well-being.
Each session is anywhere from an hour to 2 hours, which is unheard of in the health care industry in the United States. Insurance companies will only allow 15 or 30 minute physical therapy visits with just a handful of total visits. Physicians and other doctors are eager to churn out as many visits as possible to bill their insurance companies in order to earn more revenue. They treat you like a number, not as a human. Advances in Western medicine are invaluable and are continue to make significant strides, but the health care industry perpetuates a quick-fix, prescribe-me-pills-fast culture. Structural Integration takes all the facets which make you the unique person that you are into consideration, and collaboratively facilitates your path to long-term health. It emphasizes that true and real change is a process and worth persisting through.
Lastly, compared to other specialties in the health care arena, Structural Integration delivers highly effective, long-lasting, and resilient preventative health to each client.
