Are the changes obtained by Structural Integration permanent?

Life is not static; permanent implies reaching an end-point. Structural Integration sees life as an ever-changing process; dynamic and progressive. You can't step into the same river twice and so it is highly unlikely that you will return to the same place from which you started.

Structural Integration as a Career

 

What are the professional advantages of training in Structural Integration?

If you already work within the health profession, Structural Integration is a unique specialization that, besides personal growth and great personal satisfaction, will certainly bring you competitive advantages. If you are in another career, SI will open up an entirely new world of opportunities.

Does the current market place offer opportunities for Structural Integration Practitioners?

Yes. The increasing search for a better quality of life provides the opening to an ever-expanding market. Structural Integration is seen as the profession of the future as it is such a wonderful tool for personal growth and true physical integrity. It is the method that, rather than simply addressing symptoms, treats the human being as a whole, giving them the opportunity of a more balanced life.

What is the difference between Structural Integration and other modalities?

Structural Integration considers the person as more than simply a physical body; SI addresses the integration of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. It is educational and preventative in its approach to ill-health. Additionally, it is the only modality that considers the fundamental relationship between gravity in the organization of the human body.

How much will it cost to be trained in Structural Integration?

We consider not a cost but an investment of between $8,200 and $12,500 for the training depending on your previous experience and preferred training format.

You can be assured a quick return on your investment: the cost of your training will be returned through session fees from your first 12 to 15 clients.

Once I start my training, how long will it be before I can become a practitioner?

From the start of your class study you can begin practicing as quickly as ten to fourteen months later, depending on the class format you choose and your previous experience in bodywork.

Do I need to have previous training in massage therapy or another body work modality to apply for the training in Structural Integration?

No, we offer a full range of courses that you can take from having no anatomical or bodywork experience that will enable you to do the full course with us.

When do I need to pay my tuition?

A deposit of 10% is required to reserve a place in class. The balance of the tuition is due 2 weeks before the start of each class.

As an experienced bodywork practitioner, is there a shorter training option?

Yes, provided you can satisfy the entrance requirements you may begin your training without having to repeat areas you have previously studied and have experience in. For more information, contact us at info@theissi.org.
