Evaluation Session
Prior to starting the 1st session, we will spend some time discussing how your body is feeling currently, how it has felt in the past as well as the physical goals you would like to obtain from Structural Integration. We will discuss previous illness, current ailments, current and past treatments and the results of those treatments. We will also discuss major stress contributors as well as your overall sense of well-being and comfort in your own body.
Nutritional Insights:
All sessions include a visual assessment, bodywork, body awareness, movement education and mind-body dialogue
Structural Integration
Structural Integration focuses on lengthening, restoring, and reorganizing the body’s matrix of connective tissue known as fascia. Fascia surrounds and supports every muscle, muscle group, bone, organ, nerve, and blood vessel in your body. It is found everywhere in your body, from the top of your skull down to the soles of your feet. Deeper layers of fascia give support, while some of the more superficial layers allow structures to guide smoothly over each other.
Here are some areas in which you can expect to see improvement and change after completing a series of treatments:
Relief of chronic pain, stress and discomfort
• Restored range of motion
• Feeling looser and younger
• More energy and focus
• Better sleep
• Improved athletic performance
• Enhanced body awareness
• Balance and posture
The 10 Series
In order for you fully experience the potential change and freedom available to your body, Structural Integration is done in a systematic series of treatments. This core system is known as the 10 Series.
The 10 Series is Dr. Rolf’s original recipe that thoroughly affects superficial, intermediate and deep layers of the myofascial system. By lengthening and reorganizing the entire fascial matrix we are able to create space in your body so that all of your muscles, bones, tendons and joints can move freely and easily.
In turn, most areas of chronic tension and discomfort are drastically reduced or they disappear altogether.
Treating specific symptoms as is generally done in Massage, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and other forms of manual therapy, often yields less than desirable results. Research shows this may be attributed to the fact that the original cause of the strain is somewhere else in the fascial matrix.

From our Patients
Louie was absolutely phenomenal! His bio online really made me feel interested in learning about what he does and what was possible for me. From the moment I spoke to him on the phone, he made me feel very comfortable and I could tell that he really cared about my emotional and physical well-being. Upon meeting Louie, my impression was that he was a stellar guy who truly cared about helping me to feel my best in my body. We talked through a lot of emotional patterns as well as physical patterns and I learned about what I needed to do to make myself feel better. He shows you how to breathe properly and how to release that last bit that you’re holding onto in your body and it makes a physical difference! I had such an amazing time and it was way more healing than a therapy session and a massage combined. It was something completely different where you’re not just putting a Band-Aid on your discomfort or pain but actually getting to the root of the issue and working through it. Over the course of the next few days, I have felt absolutely great! The best I’ve felt in a very long time! I intend to come back and I hope to spread the news so that others can enjoy the benefits that Louie can provide as well!

I had never experienced anything like Structural Integration before. I would describe it as a cross between physical therapy and deep tissue massage. It is not a one hour fix. It is a systematic approach of realigning the entire body to work together and in harmony. It is a process and takes time, but it is well worth it as the results are long lasting. After the first session, I felt lighter and was very pleased with the results. About a week later I was rear ended at high speed, which totaled my car, gave me a concussion and set me back quite a bit. I continued my sessions with Louie and have little by little, gained back what I had lost in mobility. I am very tall and up until a few weeks ago, continued to experience a lot of muscle fatigue which made it very uncomfortable for me to stand without leaning against a wall (or whatever I was standing next to) for support. I did not feel comfortable supporting my own frame. After my last session, Louie somehow realigned my upper torso to be in balance with my legs, so I can now stand for an extended periods of time without leaning on anything for support. It is the first time I have felt comfortable in my body. Thank you Louie, for working with me and listening to my symptoms. If you are not satisfied with the short term results of traditional massage, give Structural Integration a try, it works!

Louie at PainStop Therapy is awesome!! He was the one to finally be able to help me with issues I was having with my hips and lower back after 10 months of physical therapy elsewhere and only seeing off and on results and still being in chronic pain. After only 3 visits with Louie, my sciatica is gone and now, my hip and back pain is pretty much nonexistent. I’m grateful to be able to walk again and not be in pain. I highly recommend Louie and PainStop Therapy.

There is a distinct difference between getting a massage, and the body work done by Louie at PainStop Therapy. Louie helped me better understand what a past injury has done to my body, how I am moving differently, and how I can correct how my body responds to that injury and the pain I am experiencing. Instead of just rubbing the pain away temporarily, Louie gave me knowledge on how to focus on being more consciously aware of my body, and what I can do to help it move properly and pain free.
