THE (se)® APPROACH: Structural Elements® looks at the body differently. Through years of refinement, Structural Elements have created a treatment that addresses the cause of structural imbalances within the body. They listen to your goals and bring your body to a level of peak performance representative of your ability, age, and fitness level. — HOW IT WORKS: Structural imbalances cause alignment issues, pain, or reduced athletic performance. The therapists look at the body's global alignment, posture and balance in movement. FIND ADHESIONS: (se)® therapists palpate around the fascia in a proprietary mapping pattern to find and rid the body of adhesions. Adhesions causing incorrect tension or pressure must be broken up before the bone structure can be corrected. REMOVE ADHESIONS: Using hands-on manual therapy and a range of other tools including dry needling, cupping, or electrostimulation, the therapists remove the adhesions making correction of structural imbalances possible with a lot less force. CORRECT ALIGNMENT: Manual therapy techniques are applied to return the patient to correct alignment and posture. With adhesions removed and alignment corrected, pain is reduced, strength gained and range of motion realized. — Sit back, relax and enjoy the show!! -- https://structuralelements.com/ -- Full video episode: https://youtu.be/5MwPH7rUYmI
