Structural Integration Bodywork creates
Much greater tightness removal than with massage, chiropractic, acupressure, reflexology, or Cranial Sacral work.  Yet, with this treatment, these can benefit people more for what they do.

Also significantly increases a person’s ability to get more benefits from psychological or spiritual therapy, and stress management training.


This Book Contains a Lot of Information
Rarely Found in Other Books

This book describes how I use Structural Integration Bodywork along with a set of other, complementary techniques, in a series of sessions, to remove weeks, months and years of tension and stress, and to “transform” the body and its energies into a more “un”-stressful condition, including removing chronic back and other pains.

These techniques even remove old negative feelings, from past traumatic experiences, right out of the body so they no longer exist.  Just the four 2-hour sessions described here can create a large amount of this long lasting transformation.

Trauma Releasing Processing is available on the phone with Structural Connective Tissue Stretching aiding the Netherton-Reichian verbal-energetic release processing 

You can get the Structural Integration Bodywork from someone in you area, although the sessions will be shorter & spaced out further.  Plus, you'll probably have to wait a number of weeks until the head is done, and then maybe longer to get it, and other areas, much deeper.  However, the treatment will probably make significant tension removal improvements right away.

You can get my Structural Stretching Videos through the mail and my Guided Mind-Into-Body Relaxation tape - soon to come out - as well.  And the Netherton-Reichian release processing can easily be done by phone with me, especially after you've had your head and torso done.

This is a very informative description of how Structural Integration Bodywork removes short term and long term stress & tightness effects from people's bodies & makes them more stress resistant for their future.


This section will introduce the hands-on manipulation technique I use.  Then, I’ll share what it does in terns of stress removal and physical tightness improvement, including relaxation of the head and removal of even chronic back pain.

The Structural Integration Method of Connective Tissue manipulation (often called “Bodywork” in this booklet) was developed in the 1950's and 1960's by a PhD physiologist/biochemist in order to fix people's problems that other methods of physical therapy, medicine and chiropractic could not fix.  This is a hands-on manipulation of the soft connective tissue of the body, a substance that surrounds and goes through every structural muscle and internal organ.  It is not massage. 

The basic treatment “system” works on the whole body, but it’s done over a number of week’s time.  It consists of a series of 10-20 sessions that make up a 10-step sequence.  This sequence is designed to manipulate and align the muscles and bones of the entire body.  Additional treatments can be applied to correct more significant problems and as periodic tune-ups after the initial work has been done.

It was discovered that everyone grows up with contracted soft connective tissue.  And this contraction creates an underlying ground of continuous physical and emotional stress.  This shortened connective tissue distorts our ideal, or “biologically designed” body alignment, and it limits our flexibility quite a lot.  In addition, it makes us more susceptible to the negative effects of further stress.  We’re just too tight, and we relate to our world from a “tight” state of mind.  That “state” causes us to “automatically” behave in ways that are limited.  And by acting from a tense condition, they will create even more tightness.

Now, many people do get physical treatments to remove tightness, but those treatments don’t correct this underlying, systemic contraction that’s developed throughout the entire body.  It has been repeatedly demonstrated that massage, acupressure, physical therapy, psychology, chiro­practic and standard medicine do comparatively little to correct the shortness and distortions in the connective tissue form.  They do have their own posi­tive effects, and I, myself, have gotten benefits from all of them.

But when people were treated with my sessions of Structural Integration Bodywork, very significant improvements in muscle length, looseness, and relaxation occurred immediately, and got noticeably better and better as the treatments improved more of the body. In addition, many people I’ve treated commented that they got more out of their massage, chiropractic, yoga and even psychotherapy after they’d had even part of the whole Structural Integration series.  These benefits are repeatable; they’re natural results of correcting the accumulated systemic contraction.

The results of my Bodywork treatments have always been a more tension free, healthier person who stays more tension free even when subjected to increases in physical and emotional stress.  In addition, old patterns of psychological distress were noticeably reduced.  And there was a study done in California that showed 25 of 33 mental hospital patients got a noticeable reduction in both the frequency and intensity of their anxiety reactions.

I, myself, also treat people for specific aches and pains, for general tightness, and to improve their physical abilities, whether debilitated or not.  My clientele has included people from ages 5 to 80.

I have also developed some very thorough, wholistic programs for personal growth and stress release, combining the Structural Integration Bodywork with other, state-of-the-art complementary therapies.  The rest of this booklet explains a lot of my Stress Release and Rejuvenation program in detail.

 

Now, in this book, I explain that we treat tight heads, and that the overall manipulation system removes a lot of built up tightness from the entire body, while it literally removes stress right out of it. 

As part of this introduction, I want to add a comment explaining how tight heads and a tight back are also parts of a stressed condition.

Structural Integration Bodywork is very effective for stress removal and helps tight heads. Loosening the many bones and muscles of the head increases comfort and relaxation in the entire body.  The many pieces of the head should move, as we breathe and when we express ourselves.  But they get very tight, especially during stress.  That adversely affects the back and neck, the nervous system, the ability to breathe deeply, all the internal organs, our emotional capacity, and our abilities to think clearly and process large amounts of information.

The head connects to the very top of the spine, and in addition, the muscles of the head connect directly, or through interconnections, to the neck vertebrae.  So tightness in the head makes the whole spine, all the vertebra and disk connections, rather tight.  I have found that everyone’s heads get tight, especially people who have had personal or business stress.

In my own treatments for stress, I first do a lot of loosening and lengthening on the head, neck, shoulders and back which makes a big improvement right away.  This almost always loosens people’s spines all the way down the back and more energy even flows to the feet.  People can feel it.  In addition, through reflex points, acupuncture energy flows and a direct ligament-muscle connection, the internal organs are also affected by the structural head condition.  I have had people’s abdomens relax a lot and their emotional stress dissipate away just while I was loosening their heads.

This fascial spreading on the head also removes a lot of head trauma.  It opens up the tightness that was pushed into it and it squeezes out a lot of the emotional charge that was absorbed there during the trauma,
whether it was from abuse or an accident.  In the standard 10-step Structural Integration recipe, the head would not get done much, if at all, until the 7th session.

Here’s an example from a Psychological therapist, someone who always uses the head to look, think and use facial and verbal expressions to treat patients with.  This person is also a trained Structural Integration Bodyworker as well.

My head, which Lou worked on a lot, feels more relaxed, and there’s more warmth and circulation in it.  I have more energy yet I’m more relaxed at the same time.  I feel better all over, and the treatment felt really fine.
Ms. M. C., Psychotherapist, Certified Rolfer ®

Stress and back pain are related.  Having back pain, in itself, can make us feel stressed.  In fact, when people have bad back pain, it often stops their whole lives.  And many treatments, including just rest, often take a long time to give satisfactory benefits.  This treatment, on the other hand, is designed to correct the tightness and structural misalignment that cause the back pain. 

And relatively speaking, it can do it rather fast, while loosening the rest of the body quite a lot, at the same time.  People find their physical lives get easier and therefore, more pleasant.

Further, the benefits last for a long time, and the improvements are cumulative.  Just a few hours can help many conditions a lot, and the corrections can last weeks and months.  When more of the body is improved, what felt better from the previous sessions gets even better and the benefits last even longer. 

Here are a couple of examples.

        I never had this quick a response to any treatment, and I've been dealing with the same lower back problem for 20 years.  Usually, when it hurts it lasts for 4-5 days and I have to totally rest (except to go to work).  Even then, when I walk around I have extreme difficulty.
        What's so different about this treatment is how rapidly it makes big improvements.  I had a 3-hour session.  I'm standing up straighter with less pain.  I notice a big improvement in flexibility in my neck, shoulders and chest.  My hips and pelvis are much looser, as are my calves.  Overall, I feel I'm better aligned
         I even feel more peaceful inside.  And I feel carefree and at ease in a situation that usually gets me tensed up.  I had a second treatment of 2-hours a couple days later that improved my condition even more.

Mr. K.B., Youth Counselor, Former High School and College Football Linebacker 

Just 3 hours treatment removed the pain from a flare-up of a 6-year old back problem, and it stayed away for a few months.  Another 2-hour treatment then also kept the pain away for a few months.  In both cases, my overall tightness diminished, my posture was more upright, and my movement and balance were easier.
Mr. G.A., College Basketball Coach & Golfer

We're also more susceptible to the effects of stress when we're already tightened up from the misaligned shape of the body.  This shape, with a big arch in the lower back, often causes back pain, especially lower back pain and/or sciatica.

We're not very "stress immune" because of this either.  The entire back of the body, including the head, neck and legs, is being held tight.  So the body is already in a stressed and tense condition.  And added tightness due to the next stress just tightens it up more.

Just a little bit more tightness from the emotional reaction can bring on the back pain or make it worse.  Also, emotional tension in the gut tightens the muscles connected to the vertebrae in the lower back.  Some people may get immediate lower back pain or sciatica whenever this happens.

This structural misalignment also creates a stressful behavior, one in which we "have to keep going."  We're pulled down in front and we're constantly arching the lower back to pull ourselves up.  The body posture says, "I have to keep straining, even just in everyday life."

After this shape has been corrected and the body was more balanced and centered, a number of people have been able to "let down" from intense work and do more things for themselves.

Here is what a business owner said.  He’d had a big arch in his lower back with a lot of tightness all over his body, including the head.
            I'd look forward to the total relaxation after each session.  I slept incredibly.  It would free my mind of all stress.  When Lou worked on my head, right away deep relaxation would flow through my entire body; I remembered that part from session to session.
            The overall effects of the sessions carried into my work and home life.  I always used to push myself, even if I was already straining.  Now, if I need time out during the day, I can let go and take it.  I can now focus on what is most important and things don't "work me up" so much.

Mr. C.L., V.P. Finance and part owner, Computer Systems Firm, age 37

Structural Integration Bodywork is purposely designed to correct this misalignment and remove the chronic tension.

Working the whole body, months and years of accumulated stress are removed at the same time that tightness all over the body is re-lengthened and the shape is more straightened out. Built-up emotional charge in the tissues gets erased, too.

Faces look more open, less strained or "scrunched up," and even younger.  Eyes get more relaxed.  Neck tension is reduced.

Here are two examples.

Most of the time I've felt tense.  In just the first session I felt like I relaxed years.  I feel I can let those years go now, and I can move forward.  I feel like I can think smoothly.  And I don't ever recall feeling this good in the past 10 years.
Ms. B.J., Attorney, age 32

My body doesn't hurt anymore.  My headaches are gone; so is the neck pain, low back pain and the daily shoulder pain.  The tightness in my chest is gone and I can take deep breaths.  I'm physically stronger.  I can do more than I've ever been able to do, for longer.  I sleep better and I look much better.
Ms L.G., Attorney, age 37

The body is literally "reformed" and "cleaned up," and its tissue quality and metabolism is healthier.  So it works a lot better physically & is more stress resistant as well.  People find the old stress they had is gone, they don't tighten up in stressful situations as much as they used to, and they let go of their tensing up faster.  And pains due to accumulated tightness are routinely removed.

Here is what two health care professionals said.

            I don't tense up now in what used to be stressful situations, particularly those regarding expectations, such as my sons' doing well in school.  Now I just take it as it comes.
Mr. J. G., RN, Intensive Care Nurse,, age 37

            From 3 hours of Bodywork and “Structural Stretching,” the most significant result was that my TMJ is much betterBefore, pressing around in front of the ear would always hurt a lot.  In fact, all the area was excruciating when I pressed with even the slightest touch. Now, only a couple of spots are “slightly” sensitive.  From this Bodywork, I also sleep very deep, much better than before.
Ms. T.M. ,Certified Massage Therapist, Certified Master Herbalist & Certified Holistic Health Practitioner

This overall openness and "unblocking" has helped many people express themselves more openly and more confidently.  And their minds were calmer and clearer.  A lot of their old fears due to tension and embedded negative emotions, were now gone.

My own special multi-faceted program, Postural Integration Plus increases these stress release benefits from the bodywork alone, and adds more personal development.  It's especially helpful for trauma release, too, from very old as well as recent experiences.  The energies we absorbed during the past trauma still stay inside the body and therefore keep making our reactions to current stress more than they should be.

When we remove the old emotional energies created inside us during past stressful experiences, we no longer react in such a stressful way to our current stressful experiences.   Netherton and Reichian Therapy techniques add a lot to the releasing we can do with the Bodywork itself.  They can actually get out the deeper energies in the organs and remove the negative "belief systems" that say we should get so tensed up in those kinds of situations.

Here is what three people said, who’d each had a number of combinational sessions.  

            I've had a lot of good results from the cumulative sessions of bodywork and bodymind therapies.
            I'm able to drop the worries of the job a lot easier.  Simply because of that, I'm sleeping a lot better and I even need less sleep.  I also don't have as many physical aches and pains, and when I feel stiff, I use Lou's special stretching exercises to clear it out right away.
            I can now recognize that other people have problems, too, and I'm not bothered by their emotions as much.  And because I've been able to see the dynamics of my own problems, what happens in stressful and difficult situa­tions isn't so vague to me.  So I can also have more compassion with other people.
            I don't feel trapped in stressful job situations the way I used to feel. Goals that I used to have, but that seemed impossible because I didn't think myself capable of them, now seem possible.  Life is not this evil taskmaster forcing me to do something, or not do something.  Emotionally, I feel like, "Why not?!  I can do it if I want!"

Mr. B. I., Architect, age 40

          I was most impressed with the personal growth I developed.  The combination of physical and emotional treatments together gave me insight into different parts of myself, and the bodywork "opened me up" so I could take advan­tage of the verbal and emotional therapy. 
          I gained insight into some of my behavior and feelings.  And I got in touch with the unfinished business that originated in my earliest childhood.  Through the Body-mind release processing I've been able to let go of the different feelings and attitudes that were limiting me, and that I didn't like having but wasn't able to release before.

           
While I was a loving, caring person before the treatment, it specifically opened my heart more and helped me let go of the fears and past difficulties that caused me stress in both my social and professional lives.  Now I can better deal with people who are closed and help them much more.  And I feel confident with who I am and what I can do.
Ms. J.L., Social Worker & Registered Nurse, age 28

            I began a series of Bodywork and Body-mind releasing treatments soon after my father died.  I was feeling sad, depressed, and dissatisfied with all my relationships in general.  In the first session I released a lot of pent up frustration as well as grief and felt "100%" better.  Through succeeding sessions I've developed a greater, and growing, sense of well being and self worth.
Mr. S.S., age 20, Entrepreneur-Businessman

One other thing many people say is that they feel more “in” their bodies.

            I developed a much greater sense of how the physical parts connected together and I felt increased energy flowing throughout my body.  I feel looser and more whole at the same time.
Dr. K.A., PhD , Clinical Psychotherapist

This release of actual energetic substance and physical tension has literally created more space in my body.  I can now get more fully “into my body” and bring in more oxygen and life-force.
Ms. J.B., Massage Therapist, Reiki Energy Practitioner, Intuitive counselor

All these and other stress testimonials can be found in Appendix I.  Testimonials for personal growth and trauma removal are in Appendix III, and those for physical improvements including back pain removal, seniors’ benefits and performance improvement for elite athletes, can be found on my website, www.backfixbodywork.com.

I have added a second and third appendix, a description of a Personal Development program by using these very same techniques, and a bunch of Personal Development and Trauma Removal testimonials that were accomplished using the combinational approach I describe in the main section of this book, and sometimes amplified by receiving more than four sessions, guided by the understanding explained in the second appendix.  But a number of the results, as described in the individual testimonials, happened right in the first couple hours of treatment.  And they were permanent.

This description will explain how the very process of stress removal, with THIS system, is actually transforming people into Higher Performing Beings, no matter what we are doing.  These improvements are bringing us more toward our “designed” behavior, but we haven’t been able to see nor use it because of all the tightness we’ve had distorting us.  As we are transformed more and more into the proper functioning system, we quite naturally have to be removing the negative aspects of the distorted system, and that includes the tightness and negative emotional charge from past stress.

As you read the explanation, you will see what we’re really made up of, and how we can make ourselves better in this way.

Essentially, the processing makes the good parts of you bigger, and better, while it makes the bad parts smaller.  So I have a slogan, I MAKE WHO YOU ARE BETTER, SO EVERYTHING YOU DO IS BETTER !

Here is a classic testimonial, but one by a person who’d already been working on himself spiritually, psychologically, nutritionally and energetically.  So the results show in all those areas.

            I'd had 10 hours of Lou's Structural Bodywork in 3 days and it vastly improved my overall physical condition.  The emotional and spiritual benefits have been tremendous, too.  Psycho­somatically I was already a spiritually oriented person, and a nice person.  But I now see that the energies that had developed inside me were restricted by the tightness of my structural muscles.  These distortions in my different physical parts (due to tightness) had been significantly limiting my expression as a fuller, more whole person. The parts were somewhat blocked and they were not "integrated" with each other.  Now, my head feels connected to my torso and they're connected to my legs.  "We" all work together smoother and more naturally.  And the amount of energy coming through me, and out of me, is greater.
           I feel a new sense of inner radiance and I even feel "glowing" on the outside.
            My intuitive centers and psychic abilities are stronger and clearer.  Immediately, the next day after these treatments, I find myself working more happily, effortlessly, more creatively and more joyously.  And I'm doing so much more in a shorter time.

Mr. H.P., astrologer & spiritual counselor
School trained & graduated Energy Healer and Spiritual Minister

           Here is a testimonial from someone else, also a nice person, and very intelligent, who’d never done the practices of this first person, but he, too, transformed in both mind and body.  He is a scientist for an aerospace company and describes how just the Bodywork itself transformed him inside himself, and how that positively changed his job performance.
            I get stressed on the job, in my personal business and driving the car on the freeway.  And when I get stressed my shoulders lift up, I tighten in my upper back, my right leg hurts, I feel tightness between my eyes, and sounds become highly amplified.  I can't stand loud noise as it is, and stress makes it worse.  Then it's another drain on my energy to tune out the noise.
            I feel much better after a treatment.  All the symptoms go away, and more than that, I feel more capable of dealing with the problems, so that they'll produce less stress.
            Most directly, since my body isn't trying to deal with the pain, it has more reserves to deal with other things.  But I also feel more in tune with myself, more integrated.  It gives me greater calmness and more of a feeling of confidence of being able to deal with the situation at hand.
            Besides these "rejuvenation" affects, Lou's sessions improve my job performance in two other ways.
            First, I have a somewhat different view of time.  Time criticality of a lot of things doesn't seem as critical.  I feel less rushed, even if there are demands from other people, and I can evaluate their reports more objectively.  You become more open to a long term and well-considered view and you get away from crisis management.
            And second, from my improved mental and physical condition, I wind up being able to focus on the actual problem at hand, rather than the interaction problems started by inputs from the other people.  Before getting Lou's treatments, I'd get so caught up in the immediate interactions that I couldn't step back.  Now, rather than focusing on their real or imag­ined ideas about the problem, I can put that aside, step back and focus.  I can remove the other people's biases and abstract the real problem better.

Mr. I. B., Sr. Scientist, Venus Probe Spacecraft, Hughes Aircraft, age late 40's.

Finally, I’m including a long testimonial from a 59-year-old medical doctor.  It summarizes a lot of the points I’ve shared above, including how back pain can lower a person’s quality of life and, reading between the lines, see how that’s a stressful condition, for the person, and for his or her family.  And the physical and emotional things we do, in an accumulation of stressful and effortful times, can lead to this ongoing, “body,” stressful and painful situation.

This testimonial is about purely physical improvements done with just the Bodywork, and how that positively changed this person and it literally, turned back the clock on her physical tightnesses and chronic back pain.

I worked on this doctor in a chiropractic office, alternating treatments with a good chiropractor, someone who also did a lot of applied kinesiology. 

This doctor was such a very nice person.  And she’d had a tremendous amount of structural tightness when we started and it had significantly impinged on her life.  Even though she wasn’t “stressed out,” like from work, that debility was definitely a stressful situation.  And I’m sure that the stress of having to treat patients for many years contributed to her overall tightness and back pain.

I was very happy I could help her so much.  The whole treatment of 2-hours to 4-hours a week lasted a couple of months.  (Nowadays, because of my improved technique and added experience, I can do a lot more in a week or two.)  Here is what she said.

        I had a number of bodywork treatments along with chiropractic to treat a chronic low, middle and upper back problem, with chronic pain in my left knee and a lack of flexibility.  I have had a significant scoliosis and rotation in my lower spine.  I had stopped my work for a while, particularly because of the low back pain.  I started treatment when the condition became so severe that I was immobilized. 
              I first had a few chiropractic treatments that fixed this severity and I could walk again. 
The (less severe) condition was then as it had been for years.  I then also started the bodywork.
            The first few hours of treatment immediately helped me be able to stand for four hours at a time whereas before my back hurt if I stood for only two hours.  It also allowed me to sit for a while in a straight back chair, which I had not been able to do.
            After a number of bodywork treatments the chiropractor had to do a lot fewer adjustments and my lower back got a lot better. And I could stretch in ways that were previously painful.
            I continued with more bodywork sessions that further improved my condition.  My lower back pain and knee pain are much better.  I now can do a lot of stretching and other exercises, I've been bike riding and I'm a lot more flexible.
            The special stretching exercises Lou taught me really help a lot.  I also noticed that my left knee pain and my lower back pain are related, and if I stretch my legs, they both get better.
            My life is much better.  I'm more lively.  I have more stamina, my posture is better, and I'm willing to do more things.  My family has also noticed.  And if my back pain occurs, a chiropractic adjustment takes it away again.
            The treatment has lasted, even 4 months after my last bodywork session.
  In fact, I recently had a cold and didn't do my exercises for a month; I thought it would be a problem to start again, that's I'd hurt myself.  But when I did I found it fine and that my body had maintained the looseness and agility.
            You really made a big difference in my life, Lou, and I incorporated in my daily routine a lot of the things that I learned from you.  Thanks again for everything.

CHAPTER 1

AN OUTLINE OF THE PROGRAM

THE 3 PHASES & NUMBER OF SESSIONS IN EACH PHASE
THE LENGTH OF EACH SESSION, AND HOW OFTEN TO GET SESSIONS


Phase 1 removes a significant amount of stress, tightness, aches and pains, makes people feel more deeply relaxed over more of their bodies, and people find it noticeably increases their energy, mobili­ty, flexibility, ease of outward expressiveness and even their stress resistance.

Phase 2 removes an equal or greater amount of tightness, often corrects long time stubborn pains, significantly reduces, and often removes, many old physical and emotional patterns that cause stress and stressful attitudes, and realigns the body into a much more stress resistant, deeply relaxed, energy producing and more efficient form.

CHAPTER 3
FOR ALL SESSIONS,
RELEASING OUR “NEURO-MUSCULAR” TENSION
AND ADDING NOURISHING ENERGY

While Developing A Stronger Mind-Body Inter-Connection

After You’re Relaxed and Loosened with Some Initial Bodywork, We Do A Guided Relaxation Process with Combined with Light “Jin Shin” Style Acupressure:  The Bodywork releases contracted soft connective tissue.  But within the shape of our muscles’ connective tissue wrappings, we also accumulate tense muscle fiber action because we “forget” to turn off a lot of nerve signals that we’ve been sending out to the body all day long.  This “purposeful” and directed releasing process “turns off” these signals and causes the “muscle action” to let go.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
BY REMOVING THE TIGHTNESS, CONSTRICTION
& BLOCKAGE IN THE BODY STRUCTURE &
ITS ENERGY FIELDS.

Taking the Stress Removal a Big Step Further,
The Simultaneous Increase in Our Performance Abilities
By Transforming the Body-Mind System to
One that is Higher Performing, Automatically
This Article is also on my website as the Bodymind
      Personal  Development One

This Appendix will explain how the very process of stress removal, with THIS system, is actually transforming people into Higher Performing Beings, no matter what we are doing.
These improvements are bringing us more toward our “designed” behavior, but we haven’t been able to see nor use it because of all the tightness we’ve had distorting us.  As we are transformed more and more into the proper functioning system, we quite naturally have to be removing the negative aspects of the distorted system, and that includes the tightness and negative emotional charge from past stress.

As you read this explanation, you will see what we’re really made up of, and how we can make ourselves better in this way.

This State-of-the-Art Technology has repeatedly shown to produce greater, more thorough results, faster than anything else I, or my hundreds of clients, have ever tried in the past 20 years.

Essentially, the processing makes the good parts of you bigger, and better, while it makes the bad parts smaller.  So I have a slogan, I MAKE WHO YOU ARE BETTER, SO EVERYTHING YOU DO IS BETTER !

WHO WE ARE
& HOW WE CAN HAVE MORE OF OURSELVES

THAT DESCRIBE WHO WE ARE,
