"Understanding the Underlying Cause of Back Problems
   & How to Fix It"

"Lou, Your Back Book offers a very clear understanding        of the problems that are manifesting by the millions        in this country. "        JK, physicist and back problem patient for years

There are standard shortnesses and misalignments in almost all people that, when a lot, cause back problems, hip problems, tight hamstrings and neck & shoulder tension. They CAN BE improved fairly quickly & easily for many people.

This Book gives Specific Explanation of Lower & other Back Tightnesses
   & How the Structural integration Hands-on & Stretching
   Methods work to fix the back, neck & rest of the body,
   while making the whole structure looser than it's been in
   a long time, years, for many people.

This is a PhD Physiologist & MD created method that has been in use by practitioners throughout the world for decades. I have been doing it hands-on for 25 years, & I developed stretching exercises & a fascia lengthening method to simulate & improve upon the hands-on treatments, plus, I have Instructional DVDs that teach you & others how to do the hands-on in your own home, athletic area or practitioner's office.

4. A "structure" checklist - what info to provide Lou
by phone or email & what we do to help you right away.
SCAN THIS & mention some pertinent info you remember
You do NOT have to fill out everything - just tell me what's the issue, what has helped or not helped, how long you've had it, & I'll ask the rest of the questions & explain what's going on, usually in 5-15 mins. Also outline a few areas of most significant tightness or pain & mention what stretches you do.

If you're stiff & tight, it also helps to read Foods for Structure & tell me in round numbers, approximately, how much fruit & vegetables (cooked & raw), & seaweed, you have in your weekly diet.

WHAT THIS METHOD IS ABOUT
As a Structural Integration Bodyworker I have developed
stretching that has worked for people for 25 years.

It lengthens the fascia part of the muscle system in interconnected lines of muscles so that the pulls down from other areas are removed and the area of pain and other tightness is released.

Comes with unique, detailed 100 & 200 pg
Informative E-books.
Hi Lou, I received the DVD's on Saturday - they're perfect !   So easy to follow, and so informative. From Ms. LZ in Arizona USA Lou's DVD Videos are a good value. From a Health Club Owner in the UK (England)

A New, improved "Method," for ALL Stretching

This is NOT a yoga nor aerobics method, but I & others have used this method, & some of these stretches, to improve our yoga & aerobics.

It IS a Structural Integration Bodywork method, to lengthen the fascia & learn how to stretch "actively," not passively, in long groups of muscles, section by section, with your mental awareness right inside the fascia-muscles you are stretching. And by using other parts of your body as a lever while you are in special positions.

This Stretching definitely helps the hands-on Structural Integration Bodywork sessions. The Bodyworker can often do more in the session & more results in lengthening & alignment are created by the stretching on top of the hands-on. Definitely, the hands-on helps the stretches do more, too.

Both the DVDs & My Free Stretch Coaching Introductory Session are Personal One-to-One FASCIA Anatomy Instructions & Simultaneous IMMEDIATE Body Improvement.

1. I SHOW PEOPLE, WITH THEIR OWN BODIES, HOW TO RELEASE BACK TIGHTNESS

A lot of people have stretched away their back pain at home & for low cost, & some even did it right in the phone consult, including a professional golfer. At the same time you help BACK pain, you also help HIP problems.

Here's the re-lengthening concept: If you make your LEGS longer on the insides (medial), & front, & make the front of your torso longer & more uplifted, as well as lengthen some of the tightness you created in the back of the legs, then you can get the torso to sit over the legs, instead of arching backward in the low back and maybe bent over in the upper back, chest and neck. When you have to arch backward, you simultaneously have to push your hips forward & that makes tightness 7 misalignment in the hip joints, too, plus even more tightness in the thighs and legs, including the hamstrings.
Lengthening the front & front of legs is key to loosening backs better.

Often helps prevent surgery, like disk replacement, if the back is lengthened soon enough, & it usually helps the surgery to be more successful after the needed disk is replaced.

    Helps orthopedists & prevents unecessary surgery

I explain all this right on the phone
- & with stretch coaches for your own body.

2. YOU GET THE CONCEPT TO APPLY TO ALL YOUR OTHER STRETCHING & YOGA, TOO.

This Stretching "Method" Improves ALL Stretching: greater length, more loosening, easier, & it lasts longer because you're stretching the interconnected muscle lengths, too.

Read how Structural Integration Fascia Stretching can
    combine with massage by reading how Structural Integration is
   Different from Massage.
The massage can make it
    easier for me to stretch this way with my own body,
    but regular massage is not a fascia lengthening process.

Structural Integration Bodywork Info Articles - Menu at Right

You can also use specific stretches at brief times in the day and at work, and also integrate them into your longer workouts. People have said they help with car driving, desk sitting, leaning over a computer & typing, & lots of walking.

3. YOU CAN EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW TO APPLY THIS "METHOD" SO YOUR PILATES CAN BE DONE TO STRETCH MORE.

You'll probably learn things about your body structure that almost NO Pilates teacher may have told you.

      My throws are stronger & more accurate
           High School Baseball Shortstop

        One of my sophomore basketball players had just
         one 2-1/2 hr session. I'd noticed all season that
         he had trouble dragging his legs up and down the
         court. I noticed in practice in the very next 2 days
         that he moved much more efficiently. And he
         himself felt his legs were much looser.
               College Basketball Coach

          My best Long jumper had been out of practice
          for a whole week with low back pain. After a
          single 1-hour treatment he was back in practice
          with no pain & more looseness. During the State
          Championships he got a cramp in one leg that
          would not release. After a 45 minute treatment
          in the trainer's tent, with his next jump he took
          second in the meet.
             College Track Coach

          A senior baseball catcher had been receiving
          electrical stimulation healing for a week for the
          triceps muscle in his upper throwing arm with no
          correction of the pain. Lou found the arm & his
          whole body were very tight. After 1-1/2 hrs
          treatment the arm pain was totally gone and
          was still gone a week later.

         I didn't even know my feet were tight. I just
          came in for hip tightness. Now I can also push
          off with my toes.

        Now I pass people at the end of a marathon,
           going up hill, and I am completely recovered
           after just 2-days. I am 3-months ahead of the
           Runners' World magazine schedule & this is the
           only thing I've been doing differently from what
           they say.
             Dentist. 28 yr old Marathon runner

       Even from the first sessions, a tremendous sense
          of looseness, relaxation and lightness appeared
          in each of the areas of my body that were
          worked on, including my legs. My neck & lower
          back problems have significantly improved, too.
        Now after hours and hours on the tennis court, I
          usually do not feel the stiffness and tightness
          that I used to feel on an almost daily basis.
            Country-Club Tennis Pro

         I'm age 36, training for my 4th Olympics.
         I'd had chronic Achilles tendon tightness and
           operations for tears on both ankles. The
           bodywork corrected the tightness in my calves
           and they now move fluidly. Scar tissue had built
           up & that also got broken up.
         My thighs are also looser and lighter, they move
           easier and faster & I've noticed I'm picking up
           speed in my training. The treatment broke up &
           loosened the scar tissue under my buttocks at
           caused from pulling too hard during weight lifting
           about 2 years earlier, tearing the upper
           hamstring. And it was never the same. Every
           time I did weight lifting for it, it would hurt.
           Now, it feels a lot better.
       My torso feels looser and more flexible & an
           ongoing point of pain is now gone.
         I'd also had a misalignment so that when I lifted
           my right leg it didn't come up straight but twisted
           outward after it was half way up. That, too, was
           corrected.
        This all was accomplished in three, 3-hr
            treatments. I made finalist in the Olympic Trials.

            Lou makes my body work the way it's supposed to work. The treatments allow me to do what I do, easier, and more fluently. And when I really have to work hard or dig deep, I'll be able to go further.
            After each session my flexibility, range of motion, speed and balance are all better. When I get to the warm-up, that's when I realize how much more I have. My range of motion is so increased that it takes me some workouts to get it integrated with my strength and technique. And when that happens my overall performance gets even better.
            After the third session, I had the best workout I ever had in my life and jumped 28-2, almost two feet longer than last years best in a workout. Even when I'm tight, I've jumped 27-6. The looser I am, the easier it is to get out there. I had the speed and strength before, but the flexibility I've gotten from the treatments allows me to utilize it.
            I also don't have to work at control as much; now it just happens, and I only have to work on the areas that need work.
           My overall body positioning is also better, and the way I walk and stand is better.
